Adidas entered a multiyear partnership with Major League Lacrosse’s 2016 No. 1 overall draft pick, midfielder Myles Jones of the Chesapeake Bayhawks.
Widely considered one of the marquee players in North America’s fastest growing team sport, Jones will be featured in upcoming brand marketing campaigns and collaborate on future Adidas Lacrosse footwear, apparel and equipment.
“Adidas is both inspirational and aspirational with a certain energy that you won’t find anywhere else, and I knew I had to be a part of the movement,” said Jones. “It’s clear that Adidas and the way it fuses sport and culture is vital as we look to the future of game.”
Coming off an illustrious collegiate career at Duke University, Jones commands a game that blends scoring and playmaking within a physically imposing, 6’5″ frame that creates problems for his opponents.
“Myles embodies what it means to be a true game changer, he’s a creator and we’re excited that he’s joining the Adidas family,” said Ryan Brown, senior director, Adidas Lacrosse. “Combining a multi-faceted game with his unique style and personality both on and off the field makes Myles the perfect ambassador for Adidas Lacrosse.”
As a further recognition of Jones’ athletic prowess, Super Bowl MVP Von Miller of the Denver Broncos inducted his fellow game-changer into the Freak “Class of 2016” family of athletes, a group of the most intimidating players in the game, who serve as ambassadors for Adidas’ Freak franchise of products.
