It appears that Rajon Rondo might be leaving the Nike fold. The Celtics player is one whose name has been rising steadily in the sneaker ranks thanks to a string of impressive wears last season, plenty of PEs among them. Chinese footwear brand Anta recently posted up a teaser featuring a string of silhouettes of players yet to join the team, and a couple of those silhouettes are none other than Rondo, as pointed out by Sole Collector. Rondo is clearly a star at this point, but it seemed like he had sort of reached his threshold with Nike, one that didn’t have him in a sig shoe just yet. Could the move to the smaller pond of Anta be one that will give him a bit more shine and prestige? Let us know your predictions and stay tuned to see how the story pans out.
