The Internet goes in on Andrew Wiggins' new signature shoes
Dropping a new signature shoe in the Year of Our Lord 2016 comes with inherent risks.

Now, a week after the roast of the Curry Lows, we have Andrew Wiggins' new shoes on the chopping block: the Adidas Crazy Explosive, with his personal branding on the tongue.
The shoes are...different, combining the high top basketball structure with the aesthetic underpinnings of an Iditarod sled runner.
