Markelle Fultz is wearing shoes made of basketballs for the NBA Draft

They aren’t pretty, but they’re perfect.

Markelle Fultz is expected to be selected by the Philadelphia 76ers No. 1 overall in tonight’s NBA Draft — and his shoes could not be more appropriate.

Fultz’s shoes are made out of basketballs. They might not be the sharpest looking shoes, but I’d certainly wear a pair of these.

There are always stories of players sleeping with their basketballs or taking one everywhere they go, but you never see somebody wearing one. That’s some real commitment by Fultz.

Players are known to wear some flashy outfits on draft night. Some go with a vibrant suit like Andrew Wiggins did, and go a little more casual with the shoes. But Fultz’s choice of actual basketball shoes are dope, even if they don’t look the best.

Step your game up and put some Spaulding on your feet, kids.
