Zion Williamson created some buzz with an Instagram video, but it wasn’t because of anything he said.
The Duke star shared a video of himself apparently in a dorm room. What was noteworthy was that Williamson was wearing an Adidas jacket.

This attracted attention because Duke athletics are sponsored by Nike.
It should be noted that Williamson wore Adidas apparel while in high school and with his AAU team. Adding more intrigue to the matter is that Williamson had a high-profile malfunction with his Nike shoes during Duke’s game against North Carolina last month.
Williamson will be sought after by shoe companies when he decides to turn pro and enter the NBA Draft. The likely bet would still probably be on Nike, who issued a statement on the shoe situation, but Adidas should be among the possible suitors.
