The Washington Wizards selected John Wall with the No. 1 overall back in 2010 and one-and-done prodigy out of Kentucky made an immediate impact as a rookie. After nine seasons, the dynamic point guard known as "Flash" is averaging 19 points and 9.2 assists per game for the Wiz and has made five All-Star teams. Offered here are two pairs of John Wall game-worn shoes.
From the 2014-15 season is a gray Adidas pair of his signature model sneakers with creative "JW" and "WALL" logos on the tongues. The size 13.5 mid-tops are properly tagged on the inside with a "06/14" manufacturing date and "DEV SAMPLE NOT FOR RESALE" stamped on the interior ankles. This pair can be photo-matched to a Nov. 25, 2014 contest in which Wall scored 21, dished out 13 dimes and grabbed 7 boards against the Hawks. The unique layout of inscriptions honoring a young Wizards fan named "Miyah" who died of cancer that fall (as well as his initials "JCW") are done in black marker around the toes and front of each shoe, making for an easy photo-match to game images. Walll has added his autograph on each shoe as well.
The second pair of Wall gamers come from the 2015-16 season. The white Nike sneakers are white with a colorful pattern and appear to be a version of the ever-popular 'Zoom Kobe 9' models worn by many NBA players. The trademark Kobe "Sheath" design adorns the tongues. The size 13.5 lows are properly tagged on the inside. Again Wall has added black pen inscriptions around the perimeter in honor of Miyah and, apparently, his grandma ("Luv Ya G-Ma") along with his "JCM" initials. Both pairs come with their original insoles and laces, and the both show obvious signs of wear inside and out. They come from a reliable source who got them directly from the team.
