After taking a few lumps in his rookie campaign, Washington Wizards point guard John Wall is set to return to the court this season to remind hoops fans why he was the number 1 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. While doing so, he’ll also be taking the floor in his first official signature Reebok basketball shoes, the Zig Encore. Featuring a synthetic leather and mesh build the Zig Encore is characterized by a unique ZigTech zig zag sole that is designed to optimize energy return. For the most passionate Wall fans, a new limited edition colorway of the Zig Encore is available now at Eastbay.
Paying tribute to Wall’s time at the University of Kentucky, this Reebok Zig Encore sports a white and royal blue look. His old jersey number “11″ is printed on the medial side of the shoe, right below his signature along the collar. A blue ZigTech sole and white rubber outsole completes the look below.
Available now: Reebok Zig Encore LE – Dark Royal/White
Where’s the Reebok “ice” soles? It’d be cooler if they a little more color too, perhaps some gold accents? They look like team shoes.
Gold wouldnt make sense turbo being that the colorway is kentucky inspired, although i agree it would look good. These are vvery bland i wish he wouldnt have signed with reebok :/
