Agassi with Adidas

Well, it hasn't really hit the news media yet, but apparently some spectators in LA saw Andre Agassi sporting Adidas instead of Nike. The original poster in the Talk Tennis thread is the webmaster of Jan-Michael Gambill's semi-official fan website and is a credible source. Also, there are already pictures out.

Now all we need to do is wait for the official explanation for Agassi's departure from his longtime clothing sponsor. Nike's been dropping a lot of players lately: Lleyton Hewitt and Robby Ginepri are no longer with the brand as well.

Update: It's official. Tennis Week has the article, stating that Agassi has signed a "long-term partnership" with the Three Stripes (Adidas) for an undisclosed sum.

Bob Larson's Tennis News has some exclusive information that Agassi had already left Nike back in January.
