Christmas brought a double dose of cheer for NBA standout Jayson Tatum, with a win for his Boston Celtics against the Los Angeles Lakers and the unveiling of his second signature shoe collaboration with Jordan Brand, the Tatum 2.
Reflecting on the moment, Tatum shared, “To go from having my first signature shoe to now unveiling my second, it’s like living out a dream. The kid in me can’t believe it’s real.”
Crafted with Tatum’s dynamic playing style in mind, the Tatum 2 boasts innovative features tailored to his on-court finesse, combining precision and power seamlessly.
