Do You Have A Problem With Reggie Jackson Wearing Kyrie Irving Nike Shoes [PHOTO]

The most iconic shoes in history are hands down the Air Jordan.
Growing up, I was always wondering why other players didn't wear the Air Jordan. Then in 1996, 1997 and 1998 his Bulls teammates wore the shoes. I said to myself "about time." Never did an opponent wear them while playing against Jordan, he would have talked so much trash if that were the case.
By the time Jordan returned to the NBA with the Washington Wizards there were players on other teams that wore Air Jordans, but at that time it was more of a respect thing than anything else in my opinion.
That brings me to Wednesday night. The Detroit Pistons are taking on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
LeBron James and Kyrie Irving each have their signature shoe with Nike. Detroit Pistons PG Reggie Jackson wore the KYRIE 2 while playing against Kyrie Irving.
The shoes literally have Kryrie's number and signature on the shoe. He could have worn any other shoe that Nike has available. I know he has been wearing them this season but change them out when you are playing against Kyrie.
This just rubs me the wrong way. Think about it. If you are Kyrie Irving and you see that your opponent is wearing your shoes, then you already have an advantage.
Maybe I am the only one who has a problem with this. Thoughts?
