Tatum scored 23 points in the Boston Celtics’ 114-97 victory over the Orlando Magic on Sunday night. It was the ideal night for him to make his Jordan Tatum 1 ‘Welcome to the Garden’ debut in front of his hometown crowd. Here’s everything we know about Tatum’s new trainers and the Air Jordan 1.

The ‘Welcome to the Garden’ Jordan Tatum 1 features a floral print upper, metallic branding, black suede overlays, and a black rubber outsole. At the moment, this colorway is considered a player-exclusive model. Fortunately, online shoppers can select from a variety of colorways of the Jordan Tatum 1 in full-family sizing on the Nike website.

Tatum’s signature trainers aren’t the end of the ‘Welcome to the Garden’ story. The same colorway has been used on an unreleased Air Jordan 1. Our fingers are crossed that one or both models will eventually be available to Celtics fans and sneakerheads.

Tatum’s first signature sneaker has had an incredible run, and this colorway only adds to the sneaker industry’s growing lore. The colorway truly hits a sweet spot between basketball history and sneaker culture, making everyone nostalgic for the NBA’s most storied franchise.
