Drafted 38th overall in 2014 out of Colorado, Dinwiddie was a basketball vagabond, spending much of his career in the G League, before finding a rebirth opportunity with the Brooklyn Nets. He has seized that opportunity and designed his own self-endorsed signature shoe, the PERCEPTION. The shoe is a collaboration with a Mexican designer and is described by Dinwiddie as a passion project.

On a day-by-day basis, however, Dinwiddie typically wears the Kobe AD Mid on court.
