Does the same apply to signature kicks? Over the years, we have been enamored with some of the first signature shoes the brands have created for players; however, the second signature in the line is either a drastic fail or sometimes better than the first. Today, we take a look at 12 signature lines that started off great and plummeted by the second shoe or vice versa. This time, we&#8217;re letting you make the decision. Check out the primary and secondary signature shoes of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and others in our <strong>Signature Showdown: Best\/Worst Sequels Part I (Wingmen)<\/strong>. Was the FILA The Hill better than the FILA Grant Hill II? Did the Nike Air Pippen I garner your attention more than the Nike Air Pippen II?
