John Wall is, without question, one of the NBA’s premier point guards. His vision, athletic ability, and drive have all given him the opportunity to come to the forefront as one of adidas’ key signature athletes, and with his second model in tow, expectations are higher for the Wizards leader now that he has tasted the competition of the Playoffs and try-outs with the NBA’s best for international play. In an even more crowded tier of signature athletes, Wall is at a point in his career in which he can no longer rely on the touted potential of being a former #1 overall pick, but on leadership, effectiveness, passion, and most of all, a must-win mentality – all of which he displayed last season.
Today, adidas officially unveils the J Wall 2 which effectively cements him as among the elite players in the league. Utilizing bold colors and patterns and implementing the brand’s most performance-ready materials, adidas has created a sig shoe that matches Wall’s eclectic style off the court. The Quickframe is engineered to ensure a burst of responsiveness to coincide with John’s quick first step while a full length adiprene+ cushioning system adds flexibility during hard cuts to the basket. The adidas J Wall 2 “Home” will arrive at adidas retailers later this Holiday season, so get an official look here.
The adidas J Wall 2 will launch on October 31st in a “Home” Colorway followed by an “Away” on November 6th.
