The Denver Nuggets are cruising through the NBA Playoffs. Jamal Murray has been a key part of the top-seeded Nuggets’ success. The combo guard has been a nightmare for defenses, averaging more than 28 points per game in the postseason.
Murray is not only in rare company on the basketball court, but he is also in much rarer company in the sneaker business. Murray is one of New Balance’s seven iconic NBA athletes.
Murray has worn the New Balance TWO WXY v3 in both general release and player-exclusive colorways this season. Building on the popularity of earlier releases, the Boston-based label has created a colorway that honors Murray’s personality and playing style.
V3 New Balance TWO WXY
The New Balance TWO WXY v3 ‘Spin Cycle’ colorway was unveiled earlier today. The shoes cost $120 and can be purchased on the New Balance website. Murray will wear the new hue for the first time tonight in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Murray’s distinctive move and favored wash cycle inspired the white, blue, and green shoe. Murray’s spin cycle motion entails rolling through the defense and improvising mid-air to complete the shot.
As one of the NBA’s craftiest finishers, the All-Star guard sends his opponents spinning with his footwork and show-stopping ability to contort his body through the court.
New Balance has been on a roll both on and off the court this year. While many brands regurgitate old ideas, New Balance always innovates. Keep an eye on FanNation Kicks for all of your sneaker news.
