Brandon King

We have had strong indications that it was not a matter of if but when Nike would debut a signature sneaker for Victor Wembanyama and it now appears those have been confirmed.  According to Sayitwityakicks, an image of the maiden sneaker for the San Antonio Spurs phenom has come to light. As was to be expected, they bear little resemblance to the prototype featured months back. What is depicted is a sneaker that has the shape of a running shoe and features a largely orange aesthetic, with a predominantly orange…
