In 2005, Andre Agassi left Nike after 17 years and signed a new sponsorship deal with adidas. The main reason for that change was adidas partnership with Agassi Foundation.
Agassi announced earlier today that he is back with Nike:
#BACKHOME. @niketennis @nike twitter.com/AndreAgassi/st…
— Andre Agassi (@AndreAgassi) May 13, 2013
Phil Knight, Nike co-funder:
Agassi will team with Nike to advocate for change, leveraging the Designed to Move framework for action that Nike helped create with more than 70 expert organizations in the fields of physical education, health and the built environment (e.g., parks, green spaces and public transportation).
Agassi:
Novak Djokovic will appear in his first campaign for Uniqlo since being named brand ambassador in May 2012. He will front the campaign for Airism, an underwear collection made from a high-tech fabric.
The campaign breaks in Japan on Wednesday and will appear globally later in the spring in both outdoor and print media.
I guess it will be much less sexy than Nadal ads for Armani…
