Updated Vick Back With Nike
Ron Mexico is back with Nike two years after the company cut him off because of his involvement in a dogfighting ring. "Mike has a long-standing, great relationship with Nike, and he looks forward to continuing that relationship," his agent, Joel Segal, said Wednesday. Nobody knows the terms of the deal. But I highly doubt he gets his own shoe again!
Yesterday, news quickly spread that Nike signed Michael Vick. Today, Nike clears the air about their relationship with Vick.
Nike said Thursday it does not have a “contractual relationship” with Michael Vick, a day after the quarterback’s agent announced a deal with the manufacturer.
In a statement released Thursday morning, Nike said it has “agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike.”
On Wednesday, Michael Principe, the managing director of BEST, the agency that represents Vick, announced the Philadelphia Eagles player had a new deal with Nike during a panel discussion at the Sports Sponsorship Symposium. via
I guess I was right, he's not going to get his own shoe! If I was him, I would keep it all the way fucky and wear my old Nike Vick sneakers!
