#3 Montrezl Harrell
Reebok endorser and sneakerhead Montrezl Harrell has been showing off the sneaker company's kicks throughout the season.
Whenever he gets an opportunity, the Washington Wizards forward-center would put on display classic 1990s colorways that would catch the attention of other sneakerheads.
Among the many Reebok sneakers he rocked were Shaquille O’Neal’s Shaqnosis and Allen Iverson’s Question, the Philadelphia 76ers’ first signature shoe. Not surprisingly, Harrell mentioned previously that he has over a thousand sneakers in his collection.
Harrell’s passion on the court translated into more attention to his shoes as he screamed and jammed his way to 13.5 points and 6.2 rebounds a game last season.
Playing for the Lakers last season gave Harrell the spotlight he needed as he laced up some of the best sneakers from Reebok and left many other sneakerheads salivating whenever he took the court.

Galloway unveiled his sneaker company, ETHICS, ahead of the 2021 NBA Finals. where he wore an all-white version of his signature shoe ETHICS LG 1.

The newly hired Miami Heat forward had over 5,000 pairs of shoes before last season started. As SI.com’s Jarrel Harris noted last year, Tucker brought 91 pairs of sneakers to the Orlando bubble and added more to that until he had 110.
One of the top sneakers Tucker rocked during the 2020-21 season was the Ray Allen PE Jordan 12, which had 'Sugar Ray' etched onto it. He was able to put his stamp off the floor in the NBA Finals as well.
As he headed to Fiserv Forum for Game 6, the legendary sneakerhead wore a pair of diamond encrusted Jordan 1 x Off White sneakers.
As Ben McKimm of Man of Many noted, these were custom-made by “the Shoe Surgeon himself in collaboration with Jason of Beverly Hills, who called them 'the most insane sneakers to hit the tunnel this season'.
