will buck the conventional wisdom against big men selling shoes.
Embiid是NBA最受歡迎的球星之一，UA希望藉由簽下他不僅能帶來豐富收益，並且
挑戰業界對於長人代言球鞋的相關傳統迷思。
Embiid has been spotted wearing Under Armour shoes this preseason, including
at 76ers media day.
其實在尚未簽約前，Embiid就已經被看到在熱身賽穿著UA的球鞋，他甚至早在七六人
隊媒體日就開始這個行為了。
“A lot of people, you know, always have that notion [that] big men can’t
sell shoes," Embiid said recently. "When I look at myself … I’m more than a
big man. So as far as signature shoes, I’m excited to come and break that.”
Embiid最近被問到球鞋代言的問題時，曾經對記者說出這些話︰「很多人都會有長人
沒辦法賣鞋的想法，你知道的。但當我看自己時，我覺得我不只是長人而已。所以
說到球星專屬代言鞋，我不但很興奮能進入其中，也希望能做出突破性的成績。」
