Kings' Malik Monk signs shoe deal with Peak
Yesterday at 11:12 AM
Malik Monk has entered a new phase of his NBA career when it comes to the shoes he’ll don at the games.
Monk signed a multi-year deal with shoe brand Peak. It is a popular Chinese shoe brand whose mission is to bring their customers stylish, functional and comfortable products that will help them maintain peak performance, push their limits and outperform the competition.
Monk won’t be the first NBA player to sign with Peak. He would be the seventh, following the likes of Jose Alvarado, Andrew Wiggins, Dwight Howard, Tony Parker, Matthew Dellavedova, and Lou Williams.
Before, the Kings star aligned himself with the Nike brand. He wore their shoes throughout his collegiate career at Kentucky, signing a contract with them after he was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 11th pick of the NBA Draft.
Monk made the announcement official on his social media accounts, expressing excitement about his new endeavor in the shoe game.
“MEET ME AT THE PEAK. Excited to start this new journey with PEAK Basketball #PeakSport,” he said in the announcement.
