WWE SummerSlam will kick off this Sunday, August 21st from the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn and the wrestling fans who double as sneakerheads will have plenty to keep their eyes on.
From the top of the company right down to the wrestlers taking bumps in the ring, the footwear of the WWE employees has never been more popping than it is right now.
The WWE x sneaker crossover is so strong that Wale recently teamed up with Asics for a pair of kicks dedicated to the iconic Intercontinental Championship belt.
Shane McMahon, the current commissioner of SmackDown Live, almost always laced up Air Jordans during his wrestling days and even now that he's rocking suits, he still finds time to strap up a pair of Air Jordan 1s. His influence has trickled down to some of the newer talent like the "Michael Jordan of jargon," Enzo Amore, who is constantly rocking the latest Air Jordan releases while he's flying off the top rope.
Shane O'Mac maintains he still has the best sneaker collection in the biz, but that's a conversation for a different day.
Sneaker customizers have certainly taken notice of the WWE's growing obsession with sneakers and guys like Dan Gamache aka @Mache275 have been killing it with unique pieces for the company's biggest stars this year.
With the biggest PPV of the Summer upon us, take a look at some of the best WWE inspired custom sneakers in the gallery above and be on the lookout for more heat this Sunday at SummerSlam.
