Lavin updated his personal social media and officially announced that he had joined New Balance! As early as 2017, it was rumored that LaVine intended to sign ANTA, but in the end it was snatched away by Adi for 4 years and 35 million. This year, news broke that Lavin and Anta were close to signing a contract, but he eventually joined New Balance.
In 2021, after Lavin's contract with Adi expired, he did not sign any sneaker brands. He went through a period of chaotic shoes and got on Nike many times. Anta wants to sign Lavin is not out of thin air, ANTA's designer has even completed a sample of Lavin's signature shoes, unfortunately...
During this year's All-Star season, Lavin kicked new Balance TWO WXY 2. New Balance has stars such as Leonard, Dejuntai Murray and Jamal Murray, and as Murray and Ka Jr. are recuperating from injuries this season, the exposure of shoes is low.
New Balance TWO WXY 2 belongs to the team model, with Lavin's exposure and performance, I believe NB will soon launch a personal signature shoe for him. At present, ANTA has players such as Clay, Hayward, Caruso, Wiseman and Looney. After missing Lavin, ANTA is looking for another influential player.
