The two Wildcat lottery picks now have their own shoe deal.
Tyler Herro and PJ Washington, who were drafted with the 12 and 13th pick respectively, have both signed with the Nike, the company that also owns the shoe rights to LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.
ESPN’s Nick DePaula first reported Washington’s signing. Per his report, the shoe deal will be a multi-year contract. DePaula was also the first to hop on Herro’s signing which is also a multi-year deal.
The Wildcats already have a plethora of NBA stars under contract with Nike which include Devin Booker, Anthony Davis, De’Aaron Fox, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and numerous other non-household names.
