Signature shoes are a right of passage for the best and brightest stars in the NBA, and so are player logos. Seen by the overwhelming popularity of the Jumpman, a player logo can add identity to any product by telling a story or shedding light on who the player is. Player logos tattoo the shoe and often leave a legacy beyond an athlete’s playing days.<\/p>\n
While personally branded kicks continue to make waves this season, to celebrate the New Season of Ink Master, premiering tonight at 10\/9c on Spike, the show is sponsoring “Tattoo Bracket 2014.\u201d Vote on your favorite tattoos<\/a> \u00a0for your chance to win a trip for 2 to SXSW. Vote here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Playing off the King James nickname, LeBron’s most prominent logo features his initials connected by a crown. In addition to that, LeBron is also known for the Jumpman-inspired Dunkman logo.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chris Paul has enjoyed a long span of signature shoes from Jordan Brand. Since the start, his endorsed range has gone by the CP3 title and also worn a logo of the same identity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lowercase letters lend themselves to Kevin Durant’s initials on his official logo. The ‘kd’ stamping appears on his footwear and apparel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Debuted on the adidas D Rose 3, the Rose logo draws inspiration from his last name as well as the importance of his brothers and mother.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While the Melo script gets most of the love on his latest signature shoe, the M-based logo is also prominent. This logo has appeared on previous Melo models and matching gear.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since starting his signature line with Nike, Kobe Bryant has sported the Sheath logo on all his shoes. Generally stamping the tongue, this logo represents the carrying case for a samurai sword – an analogy for raw talent and the work and pain you go through to harness it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Though never the owner of his own signature shoe, Ray Allen may have the best logo in the game. Relying on his first name and his sweet jumper, this Ray tagging has appeared on plenty of PEs.<\/p>\n To celebrate the New Season of Ink Master, premiering tomorrow February 25 at 10\/9c on Spike, the show is sponsoring “Tattoo Bracket 2014.\u201d\u00a0Vote on your favorite tattoos<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0for your chance to win a trip for 2 to SXSW.\u00a0Vote here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Signature shoes are a right of passage for the best and brightest stars in the NBA, and so are player logos.
