As the league moves towards Nike in the near future, James Harden may be moving to Adidas.

According to reports, Nike has bowed out of the bidding war and will let Harden fall into adidas’ hands. We’re a brand of creators and he truly embodies what that means with his approach to the game, his look and his style on and off the court. His connection with fans is unparalleled and unprecedented and he can take the game, our brand and the industry to new heights. Teammate Dwight Howard is leaving Adidas for Peak.

Harden, who has been strictly Nike since entering the L in ’09, will join Derrick Rose, Andrew Wiggins, John Wall and Damian Lillard on the Three Stripes roster.

Harden has not officially accepted Adidas’s offer.
