John Wall may finally be putting his basketball shoes back on Saturday, but they will not be Reebok’s.
Wall has recently switched to adidas and Wall sounds like he is ready to put the past in the past and ready for his basketball future.
But the union has come to end, Wall acknowledged after Wednesday’s practice at Verizon Center, where he was spotted wearing a pair of red Adidas high tops. The decision to part ways comes only a few months after Reebok released Wall’s third signature basketball shoe.
Wall has been wearing Adidas sneakers in practice this week as he prepares to make his season debut on Saturday after missing the first 33 games with a stress injury in his left knee. After practice, Wall left the impression that nothing is settled with regards to his footwear going forward. “I may try a couple” different shoes, Wall said. “I’m on display again.”
But only a few hours later, Adidas issued a statement announcing a new partnership with Wall and Reebok also issued a statement that confirmed his split from the brand that used Wall as its primary basketball spokesperson the past 2½ years.
