Among Anthony Davis’s many achievements as an NBA player are eight All-Star selections, four All-NBA nods, four spots on the NBA’s All-Defensive team, and, in 2020, a championship with the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite his many accomplishments, Davis has yet to have a signature shoe—something he mentioned wanting after his 2020 title triumph. Even though he has been a Nike sponsor since he joined the NBA in 2012, rumors persist that he may release a signature sneaker featuring his distinctive unibrow. But in 2019, a sports marketing specialist shed light on the reasons Davis hasn’t earned a trademark sneaker and why that could not happen anytime soon.

“You look at a guy like Curry with the quick smile and the boyish face and the assassin’s shot, and he’s got the total package,” commentated NPD Group CEO Matt Powell. The Nike brand has LeBron as its spokesman. Harden possesses a distinct style and character. I wouldn’t say Davis has a very marketable demeanor, but he’s a phenomenal floor general.

In a time when independence is prized, Anthony Davis stands out. On the basketball court, he stands out, but when it comes to sharing personal details with the general public, he stays under the radar. When it comes to social media, AD stays out of the spotlight, whether that’s a good or bad thing. He avoids having his controversial views or notable remarks disseminated by choosing not to interact with the media.

I was a shy, reserved student even when I was a senior at Kentucky. We can have endless conversations and make out sessions outside of the locker room.A former self-proclaimed “very laid-back guy”—Davis—said as much.

In 2016, during the NBA All-Star Game, Nike launched a special edition of the Air Audacity called “The Brow,” which was almost Anthony Davis’s signature sneaker. A key feature in the design of this sneaker is Davis’ signature unibrow.

The 2016 NBA All-Star Game will feature Anthony Davis donning these sneakers, according to Complex.

Ever since, AD has been seen mostly sporting Kobe sneakers. The legendary Gold 5s, which adorned his feet throughout the 2020 NBA Finals, were the cherry on top of his progression from the Nike Kobe 4 Protros to the Kobe 5 Protros. Even though he wore LeBron James’ LeBron 20s the year before, Davis favored the Nike Cosmic Unity style in 2021.

Telling me, “As a kid, you always want your own sneakers,” Davis explained it best. Playing “NBA 2K” allows you to customize your sneaker and do all that kind of stuff. Therefore, I must admit that it is a goal of mine, but I am cognizant that it is not certain. A signature sneaker is an honor that must be earned, so imagine my excitement and fulfillment if Nike were to approach me with the offer. If I stick at it, eventually the time will come.
