Adidas is trying to woo a young star away from Nike with the help of a carload of free product. Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose Nike deal expires at the end of September, posted about an impressive sneaker gift from Adidas on his Instagram this week, showing a van filled with sneakers, Yeezys among them.

According to Nick Metallinos on Twitter, Antetokounmpo is set to meet with Nike today, but may end up with Adidas.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has a meeting with Nike later today, but I'm told that he is leaning towards signing with adidas.

Antetokounmpo is wearing Nike almost head-to-toe in the clips he posted on Instagram, souring Adidas' viral moment somewhat.
