John Wall Wearing The Reebok Zig Slash

John Wall was recently spotted working out for the Washington Wizards wearing the Reebok Zig Slash. One might have assumed that Nike or Adidas would have been the front-runners to ink Wall to a contract, but Reebok reportedly gave him about 25 million good reasons to sign with them.



In reality, it's an all-around suave business move by Wall. He'll immediately be the face of a brand that currently lacks a truly marketable superstar, and he'll get to follow in the footsteps of his childhood idol, Allen Iverson. No word on whether he'll be wearing the Zig Slash during the season, which is a shoe that has been receiving a lot of mixed reactions.



I'm actually a fan of the design. There probably hasn't been a universally well-received Reebok basketball sneaker since the Question, but if Reebok can channel the bolder designs of Shawn Kemp's old Kamikazes or Shaq's Shaqnosis, they'll certainly be heading in the right direction.
