Adidas says it won't make Ark. State player wear its shoesJONESBORO, Ark. (AP) Adidas said it will not require Arkansas State basketball player Jerry Nichols to wear its shoes,Oakley Occhiali, but hopes that he will accept an offer to look through its footwear collection in an attempt to find a suitable product. "We're going to meet with him and try to reach a solution,Occhiali Oakley Italy," Kelly Olmstead, a spokeswoman for Portland,Oakley Italy, Ore.based Adidas,Oakley Pas Cher, said Thursday. "But we're not coming down there to tell him that he has to wear our shoes." Nichols said he suffered an injury in Adidas shoes and wants to wear Nike shoes while playing for the Indians. Arkansas State has a contract with Adidas,Gucci Handbags discount, and athletic director Dean Lee told Nichols he had to wear its footwear. Nichols has skipped practices since Monday. Lee confirmed Thursday that Adidas had granted a waiver of its contract as it applied to Nichols, and Nichols only. "He will be back (practicing) with the team," Lee said. "With this waiver from Adidas, he will be able to participate with Adidasapproved shoes." Olmstead said Thursday that the dispute was between Lee and Nichols. She said the company would like Nichols to wear its shoes,Gucci 247279 F4CLG 9662, and would try to accommodate him, but that Nichols' refusal would have no bearing on the AdidasArkansas State pact. Arkansas State practiced Thursday afternoon but team spokesman Bill Bowen said he didn't know whether Nichols was in attendance. Coach Dickey Nutt said he was hopeful that a new pair of shoes would bring Nichols back to practice. Nichols is the Indians' top returning player from last season.
