Exclusive: Inside Look at John Wall's New Adidas Deal and Its Many Incentives

John Wall has spent his NBA career with only one team. But the Washington Wizards guard has been less attached—footloose, you might call it—with his sneaker relationships. When Wall was the No. 1 pick in the 2010 NBA draft, he signed a five-year, $25 million deal with Reebok. In January of 2013, Wall announced that he was leaving the brand for Adidas.

Two years later, Wall announced that he was leaving Adidas, reportedly unhappy that the $7.5 million base he was being offered paled in comparison to the $15 million being lavished to Rockets star James Harden. For the next two years in Wizards games, Wall wore a variety of shoes, including Nike and Jordan Brand, as well as Adidas.
