The All-Star shooting guard has a shoe deal with Nike but no signature shoe. The question is, why? He certainly deserves one. Bradley Beal is the face of the Washington Wizards, and if he re-signs with the team before his current contract expires, he will instantly become a DMV legend. The DMV is a huge market for apparel, especially sneakers.
Here’s a list of some notable current NBA players who have or had a signature shoe at some point their career:
- LeBron James (Nike)
- Kyrie Irving (Nike)
- Kevin Durant (Nike)
- Stephen Curry (Under Armour)
- James Harden (Adidas)
- Paul George (Nike)
- Damian Lillard (Adidas)
- Derrick Rose (Adidas)
- Klay Thompson (Anta)
- John Wall (Adidas)
- Russell Westbrook (Jordan)
- Chris Paul (Jordan)
- Carmelo Anthony (Jordan)
Solely based on market size, Beal’s in a good spot.
