Taj Gibson switched from Nike to adidas several years back, and then switched right back during the 2018-19 season. After wearing the Kyrie signature shoe for a few seasons seasons, he curiously moved to the Zoom Freak 1, a shoe that is now a few years out of date.
More recently, signed as an old-man-winter style steadying hand on the rebuilding Hornets, Gibson finally opted for a more modern silhouette — the LeBron 21s. This season he’s taken on that veteran role with the Pelicans.
Back in 2011, Gibson was known for having to wear a right shoe that was 2.5 sizes too big to accommodate extra bandaging for a toe injury.
