The first person to have their own signature shoe was Walt “Clyde” Frazier when he teamed up with Puma in 1973. Other brands that have made signature shoes for players include, Under Armour (with their most popular being with Stephen Curry), Reebok (with their most popular being with Shaquille O’Neal), New Balance(with their most popular being with Kawhi Leonard), and Anta(with their most popular being Klay Thompson). For instance, the sportswear designed for judo and karate women players is fabricated to suit the structure of a woman’s body. Therefore, it is imperative that with the rising interest of women in sports, the requirement for women’s sportswear is also on the rise.
