How the ?Signature Shoes? culture is taking over the NBA

In the modern NBA, an NBA player reaches the ‘superstar’ level only when he gets his own ‘signature shoe’. Apart from being advertised by the footwear brand in various TV commercials, the NBA stars also get paid a hefty amount for their collaboration with the ?footwear brand?.

The handful of players who have a ‘signature shoe’ in the NBA definitely have a mental edge over the players who don?t. Many NBA players wear the ‘signature shoes’?of the NBA superstars because of comfort or the look. However, that is definitely not wise to do. For example, the late Kobe Bryant wore ‘Air Jordans’?before playing an NBA game with Michael Jordan.
