Tatum unveiled his first-ever signature shoes during the previous NBA All-Star Game, where he won the midseason classic's MVP award. The shoes currently cost $120.

Ranked third is the 11th edition of Steph Curry's signature shoes, known as the "Curry 11". It is his first signature shoe since he and Under Armour agreed on a new long-term partnership deal that saw the founding of the subsidiary Curry Brand with Curry himself as the president of Under Armour's new sister company.
