Paul George has been consistently praised over the years for his signature shoes with Nike. All of his silhouettes have been touted as fire by both sneakerheads and ballplayers. However, his most recent shoe, the Nike PG 4, has gotten a bit more of a lukewarm reception. The silhouette and material combination is fairly unorthodox and when brands start to experiment, the results can be polarizing. Luckily, the PG 4 has been aided by some dope colorways and even a collaboration with Gatorade.

Now, the Nike PG 4 is getting yet another “Gatorade” colorway that flexes the brand’s OG color scheme. Of course, I am talking about green and orange. As you can tell from the official images below, the shoe has orange on the insole, cuff lining, and even the laces. From there, the toe box and tongue tab are green. Paul George branding is found all over the toe box as his logo is repeated throughout, creating an interesting effect. Overall, these are some colorful kicks and will surely make you stand out on the court.

A release date has yet to be determined so stay tuned for any updates.

Over the past few months, Nike and Take-Two Interactive have been touting their Gamer Exclusive Program which allows NBA 2K20 players to win the chance to purchase exclusive Nike Basketball shoes on the SNKRS App. Numerous dope colorways have come out over the last few months and with the MyPlayer Nation playoffs underway, Nike is coming through with even more heat.

For instance, a special edition of the Nike LeBron 17 came out last week and this weekend, we can expect a brand new Nike PG 4. The Paul George signature shoe will be made over in brown “Digi-camo” as well as neon colors like yellow, and turquoise. If you want the chance to buy these, you will have to win a MyPlayer Nation playoff game between April 25th and April 29th. These will be very limited so just because you win a game doesn’t mean you’ll actually grab a pair. Needless to say, copping these will be based on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Let us know in the comments below what you think of these and whether or not you will be playing NBA 2K20 this weekend. It’s not like you’ll have anything better to do.

Paul George continues to raise his profile in the NBA every single year and thanks to his play out on the court, he has his very own signature shoe. This year, the fourth installment was released in the form of the Nike PG 4. Fans have been a bit skeptical in regards to this silhouette although, over the past few weeks, we have received numerous dope colorways that will surely appeal to all of the ballplayers out there.

Fans of Nike and Jordan Brand will know that the “Bred” colorway is a staple. Of course, this is the colorway made famous by Michael Jordan while playing for the Chicago Bulls. The upper of this sneaker is black while red highlights find their way all throughout the silhouette. It’s a look that suits the model to perfection and if you need something for your upcoming rec league basketball season, these are certainly a great option that you’ll want to check out.

According to Sneaker News, you can expect these to drop on April 18th for $110 USD. In the meantime, let us know what you think in the comments below.

Paul George’s signature sneaker line with Nike has been frequently applauded for its dope silhouettes. The affordable sneaker has seen numerous iterations over the years, including some video games and space-themed colorways. Fans were curious to see what the Nike PG 4 would look like and when the shoe was revealed, some were disappointed, while others were excited. The silhouette has proven to be polarizing although for now, it seems to be doing just fine on the market.

The latest PG 4 colorway to be revealed is the “Oreo” offering which can be found below. As you can see from the official images below, the shoe features white and black mesh uppers. The Nike swoosh is black while the midsole is white with grey speckles splattered all the way throughout. It may be a simple colorway but there are plenty of subtle details to keep you excited.

Last weekend, NBA titans collided during all-star festivities in Chicago. Being recognized as an all-star is one of the sport’s highest honors. However, if we hooked a few players up to lie detector tests, they’d probably trade in their selection for another symbol of praise. Who could turn down the clout of a signature sneaker? Getting your very own signature sneakers means being immortalized by the culture and in the hearts and closets of footwear enthusiasts. Debates about all-time great sneakers are just as intense as ones about rankings the players who wore them. A truly great signature sneaker transcends the court and becomes a nostalgic part of that fashion era. But legendary kicks aren’t all applauded for the same reasons. While some are lauded for historical importance, others are remembered for their technical advancement or wearability.   

Sigs take a player’s brand and cache to a new level – taking individuals once virtually unknown to towering, giant advertisements on New York City building scapes. And it’s not always just stars who get sigs. In 2016 Adidas gave Nick Young, a journeyman role player, his own Crazy Explosive PE. Many felt it was better than league stars Steph Curry and James Harden. Nike continues to dominate when it comes to signature basketball shoes but other brands like Adidas and Under Armor occasionally make waves as well. A few of my personal favorites are Charles Barkley’s 1994 Nike Air Max2 CB34, Kobe’s 1997 Adidas KB8, Allen Iverson’s 1996 Reebok Questions, and the 1996 Jordan XII.  

A great signature shoe should embody the presence of the player it is meant to epitomize. Possessing design characteristics that are consistent with the individual’s style of play and their charisma (or lack thereof). Speaking directly to their flair. For an example of this, look no further than the Nike Zoom Flight 98, crafted for Gary Payton and nicknamed “The Glove.” Or the 2013 Kobe 9 Elites (arguably one of his best kicks with Nike). The disfigured product blueprints that never escaped artroom floors are a testament to how hard it is to effectively capture this magic. So, when brands catch lightning in a bottle with the perfect marriage of design, player, and product – it’s a beautiful thing to behold. Sitting on the shrine of shoe store shelves all over the globe. 

There’s no real formula for choosing a favorite – while some may be more swayed by the way a shoe feels and performs, other may be solely focused on the look or what made them popular. Less science and more personal preference. Risking slander from the most unforgiving of crowds, the sneaker community, I’m going to stick my neck out and compile a list of the best signature shoes for current NBA players.

10. Adidas – Harden Vol. 4 – James Harden

Not a fan of the lace clips and the design is a bit boring. It seems like a step back from previous versions. Plus is the shoe is lighter, but they no longer feature BOOST cushioning. Not sure what Adidas is thinking here.  

9. Nike – PG4 – Paul George

PG came out the gate strong with explosive colorways but the same complacency we’ve seen with Durant’s line has set in with George’s designers as well. The PG3 was one of last year’s top models. A lot of sneakerheads are disappointed in the 4. 

8. Under Armor – Curry 7 – Steph Curry

After some rather disappointing releases, the Curry 7 is Steph’s best shoe yet. It’s honestly the best design we’ve seen from UA and they’re still built to protect Steph’s fragile ankles.

7. Nike – Freak 1 – Giannis Antetokumpo

He may be the best player in the game, but his kicks need work. Giannis’ shoes can be found worn by almost every high school basketball team in the country. It’s the perfect team basketball shoe that looks good in any colorway. This is a great place for Giannis to start. Hopefully, they keep improving.

6. Adidas – D.O.N. Issue #1 – Donovan Mitchell

I’m very impressed with “The Spider’s” first signature. Adidas also did well playing off his nickname with four Superhero colorways. The shoe’s propulsion clip and BOUNCE cushioning round out some pretty sophisticated technology to boot. Solid debut for Mitchell.  

5. Nike – KD 12 – Kevin Durant

Durant’s shoes are some of the most comfortable on the market and the colorways always go crazy. Yet, it seems like Nike has gotten lazy with the design over the years. Take a look at the KD 13 and you’ll see what I mean.

4. Jordan – Why Not Zer0.3 – Russell Westbrook

Brodie’s signatures are almost as aggressive as his style of play. Bold colorways offset even bolder stylistic features.

3. Adidas – Dame 6 – Damian Lillard

The rapper-athlete’s shoe might be as underrated as his game. Traction and control set Lillard’s signature sneaker apart. The shoes are very light due to the mostly mesh and knit construction of the upper. Arguably the best thus far in the series.  

2. Nike – LeBron 17 – LeBron James

Critics will say that the LeBron 17s are a bit heavy and clunky, which is debatable – but it makes up for that in performance and comfortability. There are also a ton of colorways to choose from as is the case with LeBron releases. Overall the LBJ shoe line rarely disappoints. Like its predecessor, the shoe’s upper is composed of battle-knit providing superior comfort.

1. Nike – Kyrie 6 – Kyrie Irving

With his mesmerizing handles and acrobatic finishes at the rim, Kyrie Irving has perhaps the most aesthetically-pleasing style of play in the association. So, it is fitting his signature shoe is the most stylish. Great traction and support while evolving of the Kyrie 5. Sneakerheads will also notice Nike lowkey ripped elements of the Yeezy 2 in this Kyrie model. 

An exciting time for sneakerheads appears on the horizon as young stars like Zion Williamson, Trae Young, and Luka Doncic are sure to have signatures coming soon. Young is with Adidas while Doncic and Williamson are team Jordan Brand. All three are under the age of 20 and have had ridiculously spectacular starts to their career – the likes we’ve barely seen out of players this young. With Luka bringing a strong international appeal, Trae’s connection with Atlanta’s hip-hop scene and the Migos, and Zion’s Sportscenter leading nightly highlight reel – the next crop of players to get signature sneakers are probably ascending before our eyes.

Paul George has had one of the most popular signature sneaker lines in the NBA over the past three years. The Nike PG series has boasted some of the best basketball shoes on the market which shouldn’t be surprising when you consider how good George has been throughout the last few seasons. In 2020, George will be debuting the Nike PG 4 which has seen a few teasers pop up over the last few weeks.

According to Sneaker News, this shoe will officially be hitting the market on January 24th for a price that has yet to be determined. This latest PG sneaker is unlike all of the other ones that have come before it. As you can see, the upper is made of a black see-through mesh while red and white materials are placed underneath. From there, a zipper in the middle of the upper helps hold the entire shoe together. There is a silver Nike swoosh, white midsole, and even an icy blue outsole. Overall, it’s an interesting silhouette that will certainly have ballplayers intrigued.
