Adidas gives Yeezy Boost shoes to NFL draft prospect clients

The process from choosing to declare for the NFL Draft to draft day takes players on a journey full of decisions. Among them are which agency to choose for representation and what endorsement deals to sign. With the sports apparel industry such a big market, choosing between Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour, can be a tough.

Adidas has managed to secure a few members of this year’s NFL draft class already and is wasting little time hooking them up with gear. The above photo shows boxes of Kanye West’s Yeezy Boost shoes, which will be on their way to the newest members of Adidas’ stable of athletes.

Kansas State’s Tyler Lockett, Miami’s Phillip Dorsett, Kevin White of West Virginia, DeVante Parker from Louisville, and Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah will soon have their hands on the sought after sneakers that are going for as much as $1,500 on eBay.

How’s that for a “Welcome to the family” by Adidas?
