“I remember when people used to ask me whether I could actually make a career out of gaming. I remember when people used to tell me this would never be ‘real.’ There are no shortcuts. Only long days. Never let anyone tell you that you can’t catch your dreams. Choose your path. Put the TIME IN. I’m humbled, and excited to officially announce my partnership with @adidasoriginals,” Ninja captioned a video posted to Instagram and Twitter to launch the partnership.
