Kevin Durant is going to make a lot of money wearing shoes. (USATSI)
Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant is a shoe free agent after his seven-year, $60 million deal with Nike expired.
Nike has helped build Durant’s brand a little bit with brilliant marketing campaigns and popular signature shoes, but his ability on the court is what drives the image of Durant. It’s also what’s driving the next endorsement deal for Durant to bring him a lot more money than his NBA contract is giving him.
