The Philadelphia 76ers' star big man Joel Embiid will be the latest recipient of a signature basketball sneaker, with his Under Armour Embiid 1 expected to drop later this year.
According to the brand, the model won't just be suited for the big man position but is designed to cater to every basketball player. While the official silhouette has yet to be revealed, Embiid says that his upcoming model is the lightest shoe he’s ever played on. “As a kid, I never dreamed of this moment," he says.
The Under Armour Embiid 1 is scheduled to make its retail debut sometime in Fall 2020 with the inaugural colorway expected to pay homage to his hometown country of Cameroon in Africa.
