“On the bottom you have an octagon with a phoenix in it and that phoenix design — I wanted a crest to show rebirth,” Spencer Dinwiddie said when discussing the design of his new shoe.
Rebirth can mean a lot of things for Dinwiddie, who has become a poster boy for dream-chasing in the last year. His careeer is a symbol for opportunity in the NBA. Before his time with the Nets, Dinwiddie was a basketball vagabond who spent much of his time in the G-League.
Now, one year after signing a contract with the Brooklyn Nets, Dinwiddie announced that he has created a self-endorsed signature shoe, which will be manufactured in China.
