Unfortunately for the Wizards, things did not go their way on Thursday in Detroit. They lost for the fourth time in five games, dropping to the Pistons 103-92. In the game Otto Porter suffered a sprained ankle and Bradley Beal a knee contusion (Beal would return to the game). The loss dropped their record to 41-34 and prevented them from clinching a playoff berth.
All, while their star player John Wall was active but did not play for the 38th game this season. Despite not playing while recovering from a January knee surgery, the five-time All-Star stole the show with his choice of kicks.
Wall suited up for the game, so he rocked his adidas Crazy BYW X PE’s. The colorway was a sight enough, but the inscribed “Five Deep” and “Wall Way” on opposite shoes brought fire to the look.

The “Five Deep” is homage to his group of childhood friends from Raleigh, North Carolina. And the “Wall Way” is his patented mantra.
In January, Wall signed a five-year deal with the German-based shoe company after two years as a sneaker free agent after rejecting a previous contract offer from the “Three Stripes.”
Wizards fans hope that Wall’s return is just as lit as his kicks were Thursday night.
