ANTA, the official marketing partner of NBA China and licensee of the NBA, struck a deal with Klay Thompson to design and manufacture a signature sneaker and sportswear line and a deal with Delivery Agent to power digital commerce. The collection is available through digital commerce channels powered by Delivery Agent from a dedicated web and mobile site (www.shopKT1.com) to commerce via social media platforms including Twitter as well as directly through the television via Delivery Agent’s ShopTV® television commerce

Klay Thompson stated, “Fans have been asking me for a few years about having my own shoe and now it’s finally here with ANTA. It’s always been a dream of mine to be able to have my own signature shoe.”

With an avid fan base that’s connected via live games, television, Twitter, Instagram and other social media platforms there’s a tremendous opportunity to further monetize the Klay Thompson brand through omni-screen commerce,” said Mike Fitzsimmons, Delivery Agent CEO. “This type of direct-to-consumer commerce strategy allows athletes and celebrities to secure a piece of every retail transaction. This is a meaningful revenue stream that’s complementary to their sponsorship and licensing deals.”
