With this, the Sole Retriever Instagram page asked these McDonald's All-American players which of them had the best signature sneaker. Many of them could not agree on a definitive answer, though many of the guys and girls went with Sabrina Ionescu.

Alijah Arenas, who was wearing James Harden's shoes and is sponsored by Adidas, chose James Harden.

Meanwhile, Cameron Boozer went with Luka Doncic. After Sabrina Ionescu, Kevin Durant also had a lot of players, including Chris Cenac Jr., saying he had the best signature sneaker out of all of them, while others went with Donovan Mitchell.

During the Slam Dunk Contest, No. 1-ranked prospect AJ Dybantsa, who was not featured in the video, was seen rocking a custom pair of KD 18s, Durant's signature shoe. The pair came in McDonald's colors and featured both Durant's and Dybantsa's logos.

Meanwhile, all three of Adidas' signature athletes, Alijah Arenas, Darryn Peterson and Mikel Brown Jr., were playing for the same team, the West. They were featured in Adidas gear for the game, with Arenas still rocking those James Hardens.
