John Wall Is Reportedly Returning To Adidas On A New Shoe Contract

John Wall has been a sneaker free agent for the past two years after his deal with adidas ran up following his second signature shoe with them. Wall, who was originally signed to Reebok, pivoted to adidas after Reebok got out of the NBA signature sneaker game (at least for current players) but decided to go without a shoe contract once his first adidas deal ran up.

Now, it appears Wall is coming back to adidas on a five-year deal, as reported by Yahoo! Sports’ Shams Charania.


Wall spent much of the beginning of this season wearing various Nike sneakers, mostly the PG 1s and occasionally the Kobe A.D, but in recent weeks has been back in his old adidas signature, the Wall 1, which might have been the first hint at his return to the Three Stripe Life.

Wall returns to an adidas lineup that is point guard heavy with the likes of James Harden, Damian Lillard and Derrick Rose all having signature sneakers. Considering Wall had a signature line with the company as recently as 2015, one would expect his new deal to once again include his own signature.

Wall’s return to wearing the Wall 1 would seem to indicate that was his preferred shoe of his two with adidas (it was my favorite of the two for whatever that’s worth, as well), so look for something in that vein to come out whenever his shoe line gets back on track.
