adidas unveils the J Wall 1 NYC All-Star edition shoe that Washington Wizards point guard John Wall will wear in his second consecutive NBA All-Star Game appearance and first-ever starting nod.
The versatile point guard’s impressive play, improved defense and league leading 10 assists per game has helped lead Washington to the Eastern Conference’s second best record.
Designed in tandem with the 2015 NBA All-Star uniforms, the adidas NYC All-Star footwear collection is inspired by the attitude and culture of New York City basketball, music and fashion. All models feature a clean, premium aesthetic in an iconic white, black and gold color scheme. The clean white uppers are highlighted by subtle snakeskin textures, black accents and premium hits of metallic gold.
The J Wall 1 features a double layered white mesh upper for increased comfort and breathability. White leather snakeskin texture is featured around the laces, top of the tongue and ankle. Black accents include the full-length adiprene+ midsole, metallic toe cap, FITFRAME and three-stripes. The J Wall 1 NYC All-Star J is finished with metallic gold J Wall logos on the tongue and lateral side.
A new colorway of his J Wall 1 signature basketball shoe also released: the J Wall 1 “DC Blue”, represents the Washington Wizards navy blue uniforms.
The shoe features a mesh navy upper with navy color pops on the laces, textured midsole and heel tab. The three stripes and John Wall logos, stitching and “Wall” wordmark are featured in red. It also features a repeating John Wall logo printed on the synthetic trim around the laces and toe.
The J Wall 1 features a sleek, bold design inspired by Wall’s quick on-court play and fashion forward off-court style. The new John Wall logo incorporates Wall’s initials, “JW” and is designed with the “J” crossing-over to the “W” as a nod to his quick playing style and ability to cross over defenders.
The J Wall 1 “DC Blue” is now available at leading adidas and sports stores in the Philippines for Php5,995. The NYC All-Star edition launches this February for Php5,995.
