LeBron James and Kevin Durant have two of the NBA’s longest-lasting signature shoe runs. James has been with Nike since 2003, when he signed a $90 million agreement as an 18-year-old that has since turned into a lifetime deal. Durant joined the company in 2007 after playing a year at Texas. LeBron and Nike have partnered for 21 official shoes, while Durant has reached 16. In April, he joined James and Michael Jordan as the only NBA players to land lifetime deals with the company.
Giannis Antetokounmpo joined Nike in 2017 and released his debut signature shoe, the Zoom Freak 1, in the summer of 2019. The Freak 5 came out this offseason.
Paul George also has his own line of Nike kicks. He has released five sets of PG basketball shoes with the PG 6 coming soon, according to the company.
Ja Morant and Devin Booker are the newest NBA players to get their own Nike signature shoes. Morant debuted the Ja 1 on Christmas Day and Booker’s Book 1 will come out next spring.
While they may not have their own shoe line, there are additional NBA players who have Nike deals. Chief among them is reigning NBA Finals MVP Nikola Jokic, who tied his wedding band to his Nike Air Zoom GT Jump shoes throughout his championship season. Generational No. 1 draft pick Victor Wembanyama has also signed with the company.
Nike has a WNBA signature athlete in Sabrina Ionescu. The New York Liberty guard debuted the Sabrina 1 during the 2023 season, making her the 12th player in WNBA history to get a signature shoe.
