Does Victor Wembanyama have a signature shoe? Sneaker deal, size, preferred model of NBA's top pick image

Victor Wembanyama is the 19-year-old that has taken over the basketball world after being selected with the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. 

Standing 7-3, the superstar-to-be has been showing out at the Las Vegas Summer League, going for 27 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in his second outing, against Portland. 

With Wembanyama's first on-court action, we also got the first look at what kicks the Frenchman would be wearing to kick off his NBA career. 

So which pairs has Wembenyama been lacing up so far, and does he have a signature shoe?

Does Victor Wembanyama have a shoe deal?

Despite not yet playing a single NBA minute, Wembanyama has already signed a multi-year deal with Nike. 

Per footwear journalist Nick DePaula, Wembanyama signed with the swoosh during his pre-NBA career in France with Metropolitans 92. 

This deal will carry over to the early portion of his career, which could set him up to become either a sneaker free agent or sign a monster Nike extension after his first few years in the NBA.

What shoes does Victor Wembanyama wear? 

Wembanyama currently plays in the Nike Zoom GT Run, the second of three models in Nike's GT Greater Than line. 

Wembanyama has been fond of this model for some time, wearing them throughout his year with Metropolitans 92.

This model has been popular with NBA bigs already, with both Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert wearing the Nike Zoom GT Run throughout the 2022-23 NBA season. 

Does Victor Wembanyama have a signature shoe?

One of the true marks of superstardom in the NBA is getting your own shoe.

Historically, Nike has produced some of the most iconic signature lines of all time, including the likes of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Paul George. 

While it is all but certain that Wembanyama will also eventually receive his own shoe, it appears that Nike is in no rush to get one out, with DePaula reporting that Wembanyama will wear the Nike Zoom GT Run throughout his rookie year. 

What shoe size is Victor Wembanyama? 

As could be expected from a man of his stature, Wembanyama's shoe size is truly staggering, wearing a size 20.5.

This will give Wembanyama the title of biggest current foot size in the NBA, beating Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert, and Brook and Robin Lopez, all of whom wear a size 20. 

The biggest shoe size ever worn in the NBA is, of course, Shaquille O'Neal, who wore a size 22.
