Paul&#8217;s agency Klutch Sports Group will then likely continue negotiations into early next week, and look to make a decision on Simmons&#8217; shoe deal before next weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Neither brand is believed to be offering a signature shoe, but would create custom PEs of their newest statement level\u00a0models in Simmons&#8217; team colors. Since turning pro, Ben has been seen rotating between both Nike and adidas sneakers in workouts and off-court appearances.<\/p>\n<p>For more details and a look at the potential contract structure, you can read the full story on <a href=\"http:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/news\/sources--adidas--nike-to-pitch-ben-simmons-this-week-183945644.html\">The Vertical<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2023\/12\/404-dead-image.jpg'\" class=\"size-full wp-image-496160 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2016\/05\/Ben-Simmons_adidas-Yeezy-Boost-350_Rich-Paul.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Simmons_adidas Yeezy Boost 350_Rich Paul\" width=\"701\" height=\"677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2016\/05\/Ben-Simmons_adidas-Yeezy-Boost-350_Rich-Paul.jpg 701w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2016\/05\/Ben-Simmons_adidas-Yeezy-Boost-350_Rich-Paul-518x500.jpg 518w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2023\/12\/404-dead-image.jpg'\" class=\"size-full wp-image-496161 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2016\/05\/Ben-Simmons_Air-Jordan-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Simmons_Air Jordan 1\" width=\"515\" height=\"640\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2023\/12\/404-dead-image.jpg'\" class=\"size-full wp-image-496162 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2016\/05\/Simmons_Wearing-LeBron-13_adidas-Yeezy-alongside.jpg\" alt=\"Simmons_Wearing LeBron 13_adidas Yeezy alongside\" width=\"640\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>words \/\/ Nick DePaula: Top NBA draft prospect Ben Simmons is looking to sign a shoe before the league&#8217;s annual&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142940,"featured_media":496164,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,1204837,1225493],"tags":[1225462,1226586,1225736],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ben Simmons Will Meet With Adidas &amp; Nike This Week To Talk Shoe Deal | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Ben Simmons Will Meet With Adidas &amp; Nike This Week To Talk Shoe Deal shoes.
