"People don't know it's an 18-month process from like first talk about the shoe until it comes out to retail," Tatum said. "Tatum 2 is already done. I'll wear it soon. The Tatum 3 is done. So, that's what I'm saying, like, I could be wearing one, the second one is finished and we finishing the third one, and we've just started working on the fourth one."

Other NBA players who have signature shoes with Jordan Brand are Zion Williamson, Luka Doncic and Russell Westbrook.
