Adidas says it won't make Ark,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Adidas says it won't make Ark. State player wear its shoesJONESBORO,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ark. (AP) Adidas said it will not require Arkansas State basketball player Jerry Nichols to wear its shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but hopes that he will accept an offer to look through its footwear collection in an attempt to find a suitable product.
"We're going to meet with him and try to reach a solution,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Kelly Olmstead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a spokeswoman for Portland,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ore.-based Adidas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said Thursday. "But we're not coming down there to tell him that he has to wear our shoes."
Nichols said he suffered an injury in Adidas shoes and wants to wear Nike shoes while playing for the Indians. Arkansas State has a contract with Adidas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and athletic director Dean Lee told Nichols he had to wear its footwear. Nichols has skipped practices since Monday.
Lee confirmed Thursday that Adidas had granted a waiver of its contract as it applied to Nichols,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Nichols only.
"He will be back (practicing) with the team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Lee said. "With this waiver from Adidas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he will be able to participate with Adidas-approved shoes."
Olmstead said Thursday that the dispute was between Lee and Nichols. She said the company would like Nichols to wear its shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and would try to accommodate him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that Nichols' refusal would have no bearing on the Adidas-Arkansas State pact.
Arkansas State practiced Thursday afternoon but team spokesman Bill Bowen said he didn't know whether Nichols was in attendance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Coach Dickey Nutt said he was hopeful that a new pair of shoes would bring Nichols back to practice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Nichols is the Indians' top returning player from last season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"We're excited about that and we're hopeful that he will make the decision to wear that and that it's something that feels comfortable to him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Nutt said Wednesday.
