Is Jeremy Lin about to get his own Nike shoe line?
The Internet was buzzing this past week after a sports apparel website posted what it said was a photo of Nike's new "Lin-sanity" sneaker, complete with blue-and-orange Knicks colors and Lin's last name in script on the back.
Nike spokesman Brian Strong said Friday that the image on the Internet was not real.
He also said he could not confirm or deny that a Lin shoe is in the works, but added that the company has begun selling "Lin-sanity" T-shirts in the New York area.
"We're excited to continue exploring ways that we can celebrate the energy and inspiration he's bringing to the game," Strong said. "He's been a Nike athlete since he came into the league in 2010."
Lin has made appearances for Nike in Taiwan and has been featured in the company's on-line campaigns with videos that still are available on YouTube, Strong said.
