First look at JT1 Sneaker

[PAOBoston]

Tatum said the leaked images of the sneakers are not real.

Should have called them JT0s

At least have green for one of the color choices - Tatum does play for the Celtics.
I miss the days when the shoes matched the uniforms.

I wish they could do a throwback with those black shoes with white laces. I remember when the Celtics were the only team to wear black sneakers. Larry’s black and white converse “weapons” were one of the nicer ones during that time.

I'm totally with you on this. Drives me nuts when I see a Celtics player wearing red shoes (or pink or purple, etc.).

They've officially been unveiled and he's debuting them tonight. As a sneakerhead, the Pink Lemonade colorway is a must for my collection. JT trying them on:

Really like the barbershops, pink lemonades and St. Louis colorway. Will pick up on those.

I wear Adidas Pro Model.

I'm concerned about how narrow the base looks - let's hope that the midsole/side wings do enough.

I still wear my Larry Birds

I had bought the first issue of Air Jordon. Wife and I were broke, just graduated college, no jobs and I bought 100 dollar pair of sneakers . I still get grief about that …deservingly so I suppose.  I don’t think they were worth saving , I wore them out pretty bad. Played ball at the outdoors park hoops court behind our apartment most afternoons after work.  Wonderful memories.

I'm not a good judge of style, especially re: sneakers.  When I was a kid, every couple years I'd be faced with a choice: high or low; black or white.     That was it.  And for the most part, that's the way it was for everyone.  I'm still pretty much in that mode, although the quality of sneakers has evolved in a crazy way.   My wife works in a middle school and one kid (not from a wealthy family by any standard) told her he got 5 new pairs of shoes (sneakers) for Christmas.   It's something I have no context for -- the "fashion" idea of it.... 

So I guess Tatum's shoe is ugly, but I still see sneaks through the black/white high/low lens -- everything else looks a little strange to me.  In full disclosure, my current pair (my only pair) is grey.  I'm being bold and trying new things.

TP for the 😂 as I can relate. Although I’ll almost never deviate from black, sometimes something in a dark green will catch my attention.

I was a big fan of the Chuck Taylor.  I’d buy a new color each year.  Unfortunately my feet are so Flippin wide they became pretty painful to wear when I got into my mid 20’s or so. 

The only time I ever “had to have” a pair was the OG Larry Bird black version of the Converse Weapon - much hate for anyone who bought those sickening purple and yellow Magic ones!

If that didn’t get you fired up to buy some shoes and support your guy, what could?

Anyhow…the sneaker collecting thing is crazy to me, but I collect records and that might seem crazy to some people too.

Congrats on the sneakers and the MVP

TP sir! I collect records too. Thank you for calling them records and not  “vinyls”. I hate it when that happens haha! Anyway, congrats to the MVP again!

Could be worse.

[angryguy77]

Man these are ugly, but they're going to be "improve your grades" bait for the kid.

They're the Goonies Sloth of the hightop world.
