Report: Draymond Green Signing Shoe Deal With Converse

Draymond Green is signing a new shoe deal with Converse, becoming the brand's highest-profile athlete, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Green had previously worn Nike sneakers. Nike currently owns Converse, having purchased the more than a century old company in 2003.

By joining Converse, Green become's the brand's biggest NBA name since it repped Heat star Dwyane Wade. Wade left Converse after the 2009 season.

Converse was the dominant brand among early NBA players as the company's "Chuck Taylor" shoe was often the preferred choice for the league's first wave of stars. In recent decades, however, the brand's popularity with basketball players has dwindled.
