Note In the world of footwear or basketball, the Jordanian brand is a true juggernaut in its field. But Shahul O’Neill did not want to wear it after a strange experience.
Luca Donczyk, Russell Westbrook, Zion Williamson, Carmelo Anthony, Jayson Tatum, Bradley Beal and many more: The list of players wearing Jordanian shoes is up to a handful, a sign of the immense impact of the world-famous brand “Jumpman” on the orange ball.
