The NBA and the weather are both heating up now that it is officially spring. During Boston Celtics player Jayson Tatum’s 132-109 win over the Sacramento Kings last night, he teased fans with a delectable new colorway of his first signature shoe.
Tatum scored 36 points while wearing the Jordan Tatum 1 ‘Pink Lemonade’ colorway. Tatum donned the same colorway to the 2023 NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City, Utah, last month.
The shoes were formally introduced by Jordan Brand and Tatum on the morning of the All-Star Game. In winning the exhibition game’s MVP award, the four-time NBA All-Star chose to wear the highly anticipated ‘Pink Lemonade’ colorway.
Fans will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on the high-performance basketball shoes. However, FanNation Kicks has everything you need to know about the Jordan Tatum 1 right here.
1 Jordan Tatum
The Jordan Tatum 1 is set to debut on April 7, 2023. The red and black ‘Zoo’ colorway is reported to be the first. In fact, several of the hues are inspired by Tatum’s boyhood in St. Louis.
Adult sizes will cost $120, but full-family sized will also be available. The model is the lightest performance shoe in Jordan Brand’s performance range this season, according to the brand.
The strengthened TPU frame, which allows extra material to be taken away, helped to reduce weight. The uncaged Zoom Air unit in the forefoot aids in energy return while maintaining court feel.
With minimal rubber on the toe and ball of the foot, the shoe is encased in a ground-contact foam that also works as an integrated traction pattern. The mesh knit upper is durable while remaining lightweight, and the collar is cushioned for ankle support.
With less than two weeks till the release of the Jordan Tatum 1, sneakerheads are salivating over the unreleased basketball sneakers. Fortunately, Jordan Brand will be ready to satiate our craving for new kicks come spring.
