76ers All-Star Joel Embiid will launch his first signature shoe with Under Armour this fall, making him the 16th current NBA player — and only center — to have one.

How it works: Signature shoes incorporate the athlete's design and performance feedback throughout the creative process and include a 5% royalty from the sales of each pair, per ESPN's Nick DePaula.

Players with signature shoes:

Nike: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Paul George, Giannis Antetokounmpo
Adidas: James Harden, Damian Lillard, Derrick Rose, Donovan Mitchell
Under Armour: Steph Curry, Joel Embiid (coming in 2020)
Jordan Brand: Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul
New Balance: Kawhi Leonard
Anta: Klay Thompson
K8iros: Spencer Dinwiddie (his own brand)
