IShowSpeed Sneaker Deal?

Is Speed getting his own sneaker deal? The insanely popular FIFA streamer with 19M followers, who is probably the biggest Ronaldo fan in the world, hinted that he may be retiring his trademark Yeezy Foam Runners for something bigger 👀

Earlier this year, Kai Cenat became the first streamer to get a Nike deal, and adding a second massive personality might signal a new strategy for major sneaker brands 🎮

Streamers getting sneaker deals is very amazing to me because I feel like most of the time they’re at the crib on the computer and a lot of the time they’re wearing slippers or house shoes. But known as very creative people, I’m sure they’ll be able to find a way to get their kicks into their content and influencer their audiences purchasing decisions 🤑

With speed talking about how he can’t wear adidas Foam Runners anymore it sounds like he has a deal with an adidas competitor on the horizon. Nike, Reebok, New Balance, Under Armour, ASICS etc

I’ve never worn a pair of Yeezy Foam Runners but people say they're very comfortable, and Speed has done some insane stuff wearing them so you know this is serious if he’s moving on 🤝

What’s Happening

• Sabrina Ionescu’s purple ‘Court Vision’ Nike Sabrina 2’s are now available

• A’ja Wilson wore some insane Nike LeBron 21 PEs last night. Hoping these get a full release

• These $100 Converse Chuck Taylor All Star XX-Hi that go up to your knees are nuts

• Dion Sanders’ Air DT Max ‘96 are selling out. These are kind of dope
