Dec 25, 2014, 6:47 PM | Updated: 6:47 pm

It’s been a good run, Nike. It’s not you, it’s just that…there’s someone else in the picture.

As per December’s announcement, the Sun Devils are switching to Adidas.

The eight-year, $34 million partnership will begin in July of next year, so until then, here’s a look back at the Sun Devils’ recent “Nike Years”.

We’ll always remember the good times, Nike, like pitchfork wrap helmets, “Desert Fuel”, and the beginning of the “Blackout Game” tradition.

Do you think we can stay friends?
