This isn’t necessarily true. Sabrina had some input on the shoe.


“Ramprasad and Nethongkome describe Ionescu as a “dream collaborator,” one with an acute attention to detail who came into the process already having a good idea of what she wanted in a shoe.”

They all have some input in the shoes, as they're pro models....But it's nowhere near what Kobe had going on in regards to input.

But it's pretty much an open secret that all these designs are pretty much sitting in wait for a player to get attached to.

It's also kind of why you don't really see any really distinct/original designs anymore.


Puma is arguably the worst offender of this currently.:gag:

If you haven't noticed at the rates Nike/Jordan churns out pro model shoes..... the players typically have little input other than the colorways.
Yea if you look into the designers at the shoe headquarters they got kids churning out custom designs and models year round, players just picking them shyts off a rack
