Michael Jordan has finally started to give out signature shoes to athletes that deserve it, and it has been a treat to see happen. First, it was Zion Williamson, who has finally been able to dominate on the court like fans were hoping. Then it was Luka Doncic, who has been playing like he wants to prove he is the GOAT.

And now, it had come to Jayson Tatum. But, while the man has more than deserves his own sneaker, there is only one problem here.
The design team of Jordan Brand may be the reason these sneakers don’t sell close to as much as the others.
Jayson Tatum’s signature sneakers are the worst-looking ones Michael Jordan has ever signed off on
Jayson Tatum has deserved a signature sneaker for quite some time now. And frankly, it has taken far too long for the brand to give him one.
But it appears that all the time taken never quite benefitted the design team on Jayson Tatum’s sneaker, as this was revealed as a sneak peek of the shoe.
Take a look at the image in the tweet below.

Since then, Jayson Tatum has come out and said that it isn’t the real shoe, despite reports of each pair costing $120 having leaked. But frankly, with so many companies leaking the pictures of the sneaker, this seems like a strategy to shift gears, but also make it look like no mistake was made.
It makes sense for Jayson Tatum to deny everything. But, when the evidence has piled on this high, it’s hard for the NBA community to accept any explanation.
Do Jayson Tatum’s sneakers look as bad as some of LeBron James’s?
LeBron James has been in the NBA for a long time. And during that journey, the King has had some iconic sneakers in his signature line with Nike.
But of course, with the brand releasing so many sneakers for him, some are also bound to look closer to horrible than amazing. And just one of them was the Nike LeBron 19.

Now, Jayson Tatum’s first signature sneaker may not be as ugly as these. But, it’s hard to say they don’t provide some stiff competition.
