Nike announced today that they have signed Brandon Miller, along with 12 other rookies to a shoe deal. Charlotte's previous first round rookie Mark Williams signed a deal with Jordan Brand, an umbrella of Nike.

Miller has been wearing Nike shoes throughout training camp and pre-season so far, already donning some clean custom-painted "Kobes".

Miller was drafted with the 2nd overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Scoot Henderson, who Charlotte elected not to draft signed a shoe deal with PUMA before the draft. If Henderson had been selected by Charlotte then the company would have had two of their signature athletes in Scoot Henderson and LaMelo Ball on the same team. Ball signed with PUMA ahead of his rookie season, moving away from the "Big Baller Brand" made famous by his father LaVar Ball.
