Keyshawn Johnson was an NFL journeyman with stops in New York with the Jets, Tampa Bay, Dallas, and Carolina. He outpaced defensive backs at every stop and always found his way to the endzone, giving him one of the best nicknames in sports, “Me-Shawn,” for his tendency to tell quarterbacks and coaches to just “give me the damn ball.” In his heyday, Johnson was an adidas-sponsored athlete with his own signature shoe, the EQT Key Trainer, but he was also the face of the GameSpeed cross-trainer. Now, the Three Stripes is looking back for the next year of cross-trainers, bringing Keyshawn’s GameSpeed back in a couple of shiny colorways.

We no longer live in an era of sneaker sponsorship that focuses on NFL athletes, but adidas has still kept some of the league’s best stars on payroll, including Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who recently signed a contract extension with the Three Stripes that will include his own golf line.
