Joel Embiid made his second straight All-Star start on Sunday night in Charlotte. This time, he went all out with his footwear.
Embiid's UA Anatomix Spawn All-Star Game player exclusive shoes were designed by footwear customizer Dez Customz, who went to the Boys and Girls Club of Philadelphia for input from the kids.
The right shoe includes the Boys and Girls Club motto, "Great Futures Start Here." Per Under Armour, "the shoes feature Philadelphia landmarks and descriptors such as the City of Brotherly Love, the U.S. Constitution, LOVE Park, and more." And the initials of every kid who participated in "The Process" of creating the shoes are on the heels.
You can read about the shoes in more detail here.
Here's a closer look.
