Five NBA players who had shoe- deal with Reebok
#5 Shawn Kemp
Shawn Kemp was one of the best players on the Seattle SuperSonics team during the '90s. His rise to prominence helped him sign a deal with Reebok. Kemp's first signature shoe was Reebok Kamikaze, which was released in 1995.
The Kamikaze collection did well and the following year, the Kemp brand also dropped the Kamikaze 2, which Kemp wore to the 1996 NBA Finals against the Chicago Bulls.
#4 Dominique Wilkins
Dominique Wilkins was one of the best players on the Atlanta Hawks roster during the '80s. He appeared in 9 All-Star games as a Hawks player and gained prominence due to his brilliance there. The forward signed a four-year personal endorsement contract with Reebok International to promote 'Pump', which were inflatable athletic shoes.
Wilkins wore the Reebok Pump for the first time in 1989. However, the shoe got its recognition after rookie Dee Brown's sensational dunk in the 1991 Slam Dunk Contest. Reebok relaunched Wilkin's signature shoe, the Pump Twilight Zone, back in 2012. It came out in a white/neon/red/yellow and black colorway.
