Long before the birth of the Air Jordan, then-startup Nike, looking to attach their name to a star-power athlete of the day, turned to USC running back Anthony Davis. The honchos at Nike, seeking inroads into the college athletic equipment market, took note of AD’s 1000-yard seasons, championship leadership and fashion-forward stylishness in deciding to create a shoe just for him. Designed for Anthony’s quick-cutting, turf-mashing running style, the Nike Astro Grabber was born. Soon, the shoe became a “must have” for young ball players across the nation. Today, AD brings his stand-out talents to your organization’s next event with his inspiring message of how to lead, achieve and succeed.
