Kevin Garnett Signs with Chinese Sportswear Brand ANTA

Kevin Garnett Signs with Chinese Sportswear Brand ANTA

Kevin Garnett To Anta 1

It started with players like Steve Francis and Shane Battier, then Jason Kidd, Ron Artest, Baron Davis and more.  Now we have a full-fledged trend on our hands where NBA players are increasingly willing to sign with foreign-based footwear brands.  The latest example is Boston Celtics PF/C Kevin Garnett, who, despite signing a ‘lifetime endorsement deal’ with adidas in 2003, has contracted with Chinese brand ANTA.  This is a particularly interesting development as ANTA was established in 1994, just one year before Garnett’s rookie campaign.  With Li-Ning, Peak and now ANTA all throwing their hats in the ring, it’s very possible Nike will have more than just adidas and Reebok to contend with over this next decade.
