The NBA Playoffs have been a breeze for the Denver Nuggets. The play of Jamal Murray has been instrumental in the Nuggets’ ascent to the top seed. With an average of more than 28 points per game in the playoffs, the combo guard has been a nightmare for opponents.
On the basketball floor, Murray is in very exclusive company; in the sneaker world, he is even more renowned. Among New Balance’s seven NBA signature athletes is Murray.
Murray has worn both the player-exclusive and public release versions of the New Balance TWO WXY v3 all season long. The Boston-based label has created a colorway that pays homage to Murray’s character and playing style, continuing the trend of successful prior offerings.
New Balance unveiled the TWO WXY v3 in the ‘Spin Cycle’ colorway earlier today. You can get these shoes from the New Balance online store for $120. Game 2 of tonight’s Western Conference Semifinals will be Murray’s debut in the new colorway.
The white, blue, and green shoes were designed based on Murray’s trademark dance and favorite wash cycle. Murray uses a spin cycle action to go past the defense and complete the shot while improvising in the air.
The All-Star point guard’s incredible footwork and body contortions make him one of the NBA’s most skilled finishers.
New Balance has had an outstanding year in all aspects of their business. Despite the fact that other brands appear to be rehashing old ideas, New Balance consistently remains ahead of the curve. Head on over to FanNation Kicks if you’re in the market for shoe news.
