    Maybe next they’ll release the Jason Preston 1s

    Shoe brand deal, check. 80 mil bag coming up next.

  3. ProfessionalWater480

    This is a threat to the national security of the United States

  4. nooblevelum

    Where are all the human rights defenders that bashed Lebron? Going to say anything about Reaves?

  5. EvilDonCheadle

    Surprised they aren’t white New Balance with grass stains

  6. Next-Firefighter-753

    A role player getting a signature shoe is crazy

  7. Few_Mulberry5372

    What playing for the Lakers does to a mf

    Its really on a whole different level. Even from the Knicks

  8. Underrated_user20

    That’s our FT merchant, love the color way.

  9. TheRealBizzo

    Butler has his own shoe as well. And didn‘t Spencer Dinwiddie start his own company to make a signature shoe for him?

  10. KaseyOfTheWoods

    Wait, is this an April Fool’s joke or not?

  11. Is this not an April Fools joke? the tweet is from yesterday on the 1st. Has this been confirmed at all

  12. HonestTeddy

    Can’t wait for 2061 when the movie about the shoe comes out

  13. dvandenheuvel21

    Hold up, this wasn’t an April Fools joke?

  14. SucculentT0e

    Putting aside that a role player is getting a signature shoe, they look quite nice. Miles better than the ones Nike did for Ja. Such an exciting player with couldn’t be more basic looking shoes

  15. mongo4mayor

    Ja Morant isn’t on your list. His signature shoe should be dropping in a couple weeks.

  16. sorendiz

    wow

    then again i’m not *that* surprised, the ‘lakers underdog white guy’ buff is insane

  17. cesarjulius

    he should give a free pair to all the little kids that make them.

  18. CoreyC96

    Since this news came out yesterday, I thought this was an April Fool’s joke 😭
