Jayson Tatum is one of the top names in the NBA today. The young star has led his Boston Celtics to much success in his young career. Jordan Brand has recently released the second version of Tatum’s second signature sneaker, the Tatum 2.
Tatum 2
The Tatum 2 is made with a full-length Nike Strobel unit. This helps cushion impact from explosive movements. Large foam and textile pods are the main style pieces of the Tatum 2. The pods also help cushion the foot in areas that usually experience a lot of pressure. Tatum has developed into a strong two player, and the shoe assists in the areas where a lot of pressure can build up. The Outsole reduces weight in the areas an athlete like Tatum needs it most. There is definitely a callback to 90s basketball with the Tatum 2. The Tatum 2 first came out in the “Momma’s Boy” colorway. On April 4, it will be released in the “Vortex” colorway.
Duke
Duke is one of the most important colleges in history when it comes to basketball. Some of the greatest players of all time have played for the Duke Blue Devils. Tatum would attend Duke for one year, 2016-2017. He played 29 games and would average nearly 17 points. Tatum showed that he was ready for the NBA in his quick college career.
