每當暑假休兵到 NBA 開季前，運動鞋品牌的網羅動作總是特別熱絡，因為多數代言合約都是在 9、10 月這時候到期，成為自由身之後會續留或者轉換合作夥伴便是鞋迷關心的焦點了。像是最近美國記者 Marc Stein 及 Nick DePaula 接連分享了湖人隊 Kyle Kuzma 球鞋代言的新聞，Marc Stein 率先發文提及他在中國行期間收到消息 PUMA 已經很接近要簽下 Kyle Kuzma，消息一出也隨即引來討論，接著 Nick DePaula 則進一步表示，Kyle Kuzma 持續與 PUMA 及多家品牌有聯繫，其中也包括中國的運動品牌，預計未來幾星期內會收到合約報價，而他目前代言的 Nike 則有 10 個工作日決定要不要匹配報價留人，就看 Kyle Kuzma 能獲得怎樣的代言價碼及相關待遇，然後 Nike 是否願意跟進了。
勘履者們期待 Kyle Kuzma 簽給哪家亦或續留 Nike 呢？將來如有更多相關消息會再整理分享給各位。

Kyle Kuzma is continuing to have ongoing shoe deal talks with Chinese brands, Puma and additional companies.
Brands are sending aggressive term sheet offers in the coming weeks, which Nike will have 10 business days to match once an offer sheet is signed.
