Manny Pacquiao has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, and while he was spotted still wearing Nike gear a few days after getting dropped from the brand, it looks like he decided to go with Under Armour Clutchfit Drive 2s for his latest pickup game. Pacquiao has always been known as a big basketball fan, which of course meant that he laced up Nikes over the years, but with his deal now over, he's free to change it up.

We're not sure if Pacquiao went as far as to burn his Nike sneakers, like some of his fans did, but lacing up another brand shows that he's moving on from the partnership, too. Despite issuing an apology for his comments against the gay community, it's unlikely that Under Armour, or any other major footwear brand, will look to offer him an endorsement deal anytime soon.
