ESPN.com recently put together a list of all the players who have ever had their own signature shoes, and it was beautiful, featuring both the very popular Michael Jordan and LeBron James models, as well as sneakers from very obscure brands and players you would have never guessed had their own shoe.
All in all, it’s a fantastic resource.
Using their research, we have created this ranking of the players with the most signature shoes in NBA history. The usual suspects are on top, but then it gets more and more interesting as you go down the list.
