Nike and Paul George will debut his first signature shoe, the PG1, this week on an international stage as Indiana plays Denver in London on January 12.
George becomes Nike Basketball’s fourth active signature athlete, and the 21st basketball player to receive a signature shoe from Nike.
According to the swoosh, in Nike’s 44-year history, fewer than one percent of its endorsed athletes have been given a signature shoe.
The lightweight, low cut PG1 is a true collaboration between George and designer Tony Hardman. The simple, highly functional silhouette features a distinctive forefoot strap anchored by Flywire cable loops providing a dynamic, contained feel, while a forefoot Zoom Air unit delivers low-profile, responsive cushioning.
The PG1 will be available at a suggested retail price of $110. Additional launch details to come.
