Nike was quick to jump on Amare. After starting 71 of 82 games his rookie year he proved himself enough for Nike to hook him up with some PEs. As his game developed Nike prepped him to be the face of the Force Camp, putting him in high end Force shoes and eventually his own line. The Nike STAT line would draw inspiration from former Sun and Nike big man Charles Barkley. His Barkley ties would land him in PE Barkley's as well as the Nike Air Max 360 BB. Amare continues to push Nike and is the brand's premier big man.
