UFC champion Jon Jones reveals official Nike signature sneaker

[chronicsneaker]

He has teased about it for a while, and today (April 18, 2013) UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones finally unveiled (via Twitter) the signature sneaker he has been working on for the past few months with official sponsor Nike. Unlike his past Nike products, the sneaker –along with his signature “Bones Knows” shirts-- will be available for purchase online at Nike.com as well as select Nike Town store locations. According to a follow-up tweet from the 25-year-old, all items will be available starting at Friday (April 19, 2013) at 9 a.m. Will you purchase a pair?

[thapointguy]

Funny you mention that. Jon Cena wears sneakers to wrestle so him having a shoe deal isn't a bad idea

exactly what i was thinking...p.e. free trainers

the man uses his bare feet when he fights.....sig gloves or shorts would be a better bet

Man a fan of his, but I'd pass

Don't give Cena/Nike any ideas...let him stick with those Reebok Pumps, or whatever he's wearing now

-Nike been sponsoring UFC athletes for years. Rampage Jackson and Anderson Silva before Bones.

-You mentioning MMA and pro wrestling together like they are in some way comparable, just makes you look ignorant

-Nike has a sig shoe for a rapper.

The shirt and shoes go live on NDC at 9 AM EST tomorrow. Just as a reminder.

Couldn't have said this any better.... Also Caol Uno been had a Nike deal way back with the "10AC" collection which is Caol backwards

With that said, these look so plain ahahaha

These could have been so much better. They should have used an actual trainer instead of a runner as the base...

Well said. Not to mention Revis has a sig that isnt a football cleat, Jeter had a Jordan sig that wasnt a baseball cleat. VIck, Randy Moss, its not like the first time this happened. I dig the shoe but probably wont cop unless there are some unique colorways.

 

[sneakerfan1]

I'll cop when they hit outlets.
