Tracy McGrady, the NBA legend, and Adidas have officially renewed their partnership, marking the return of one of the most popular sneakers from the 2000s – the Adidas T-Mac sneakers.
The partnership, which began in 1997, saw McGrady sign a six-year, $12 million deal with Adidas. This was followed by his most lucrative deal yet in 2002, a lifetime contract that included the release of six signature sneakers under the T-Mac line, from 2002 to 2006.

The updated deal fully brings McGrady on board for an updated signature line. The teams at Adidas production are expected to start work on the new T-Mac line soon. However, it's unclear when exactly Adidas will release the updated T-Mac signature line.
The original T-Mac 1, widely regarded as the most iconic and beloved model of the six T-Mac line sneakers, is a strong contender for an immediate retro release. Its classic design and strong fan demand make it a popular choice among fans.
In addition to the sneakers, McGrady will also play a role in bringing back the ABCD Camp and youth basketball initiatives. This move is a testament to McGrady's commitment to fostering the next generation of basketball talent.
Tracy McGrady took a break from Adidas to focus on his broadcasting career in later years. However, with this renewed partnership, it seems that the basketball court and the sneaker world will once again see the impact of T-Mac.
Adidas featured more futuristic designs at the time, similar to the Adidas Kobe 2. The T-Mac line's design was indicative of Adidas' more futuristic designs at the time, making it a unique addition to the sneaker market.
With the return of the Adidas T-Mac sneakers and McGrady's involvement in youth basketball initiatives, it's an exciting time for both the sneaker community and basketball enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming T-Mac signature line.
