Deckers chairman and CEO Angel Martinez said that Brady is "the ideal first endorser for the brand."
"He embodies the stylish casual attitude that is at the foundation of every product we make, and is as much a style icon off the field as he is a playmaker on it," Martinez said in a press release.
The company said that Brady will also be able to offer his own insight on products in future collections.
