Last month, J.J. Watt unveiled his personal logo. It was said to be used for his forthcoming line of shoes and gear with Reebok. The first iteration of his signature shoe was showed off on Thursday in New York, and they're, well, not exactly spectacular.

Watt, of course, is excited about the release, as he should be. According to the Houston Chronicle, he called it the "coolest day ever."

"If you're not waking up in the morning trying to be the greatest athlete in the world, then you're not doing it right," Watt said at the event.
Watt is just the fourth athlete ever to have a signature line with Reebok, joining Allen Iverson, Yao Ming and Shaquille O'Neal. At least they're not terribly expensive: They'll sell for $99 when they release on July 15.
