Nike to Launch Victor Wembanyama Signature Shoe Following $252 Million Spurs Deal

Nike announced a new long‑term partnership with French NBA star Victor Wembanyama, including the creation of his first signature basketball sneaker. The deal follows the San Antonio Spurs' five‑year, $252 million maximum contract extension that secures the 22‑year‑old's future with the team.

Nike released a teaser featuring a new “VW” logo that will brand the upcoming line, called the Nike Wemby 1. The company also plans a player‑exclusive G.T. Cut 4 “Statue of Liberty” colorway for fall 2026, with a mint‑foam/metallic‑gold design and a French welcome message on the heel. The partnership arrives after Wembanyama earned NBA Defensive Player of the Year and All‑NBA First Team honors.
