Never, ever wear Adidas around Bulls legend Michael Jordan
It does not matter if you are the best player in the NBA, or a famous pugilist with an undefeated record — whatever you do, do not show up for a meeting with Chicago Bulls Hall of Famer Michael Jordan wearing Adidas sneakers. Just ask former super middleweight and light heavyweight champion Andre Ward.
The former top boxer recently recounted how sporting a pair of Adidas went for a Jordan Brand employee who got called out by His Airness during a business meeting Ward was in attendance of back when he himself was an active Jordan Brand athlete. Speaking on a recent episode of the Showtime Basketball “All the Smoke” podcast, Ward shared his account of the dressing down that hapless employee was on the receiving end of, all because of his fashion choices at work.
To hear Ward tell the tale himself, as well as what it was like to be a Jordan Brand athlete in the sport of boxing more generally, check out the clip embedded below.
