Kelly Oubre Jr. Signs Converse Contract; Will Still Wear Nike Shoes During Games

Washington Wizards small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has agreed to a multi-year footwear and apparel deal with Converse, according to ESPN.com's Nick DePaula.

The agreement is two-pronged: Oubre will wear Converse casually off the floor and wear Nike—which bought Converse in 2003—on the court.

Oubre was previously under contract with Adidas, but that deal expired before the start of the 2018-19 season.

According to DePaula, Oubre—whose stylistic history includes drawing the NBA's ire over a Supreme leg sleeve—will be "featured in lifestyle campaigns and provide input and feedback on everything from photo shoot styling to details on upcoming apparel and footwear.
