The outcome of Monday night’s NBA game between the Boston Celtics and the Portland Trail Blazers was never really in doubt. Boston defeated Portland 121-99, earning their 50th regular-season win. Jayson Tatum’s MVP-caliber brilliance is making Boston feel inevitable. The Celtics forward scored 26 points, dropped eight assists, and debuted a fan-favorite colorway of his latest signature Jordan Brand sneaker.
Tatum wore the Jordan Tatum 2 ‘Taco Jay’ colorway at last night’s game. Jordan Brand has designed various player-exclusive hues for Tatum that are inspired by his moniker and love of tacos, dating back to the Air Jordan 34. Below is a full breakdown of Tatum’s kicks from last night.
The Jordan Tatum 2 ‘Taco Jay’ colorway has a white mesh upper that contrasts with a bright green Phylon frame with gold foam and textile pods. Finally, the green tongue and gold laces add a delightful finish to the hoop sneakers.
Will Jordan Tatum 2’s ‘Taco Jay’ be released to the public? It’s difficult to say because the Air Jordan 35 is the only model to have a general release of the ‘Taco Jay’ colorway. Tatum’s first branded sneaker, however, came in a very similar ‘Home Team’ colorway.
While we wait for additional information on the prospective release date, online consumers can get the Jordan Tatum 2 in the ‘Momma’s Boy’ colorway for $125 from the Nike website.
Tatum’s second trademark sneaker is not only visually appealing on the court, but it also performs well. The single-layer mesh top makes it the lightest shoe in Jordan Brand’s collection. Meanwhile, the eye-catching design, which includes the phylon frame and lateral pods, provides just the appropriate amount of support to help you work on the hardwood.
