A history of Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum’s sneakers in photos

Tatum has himself a sneaker deal with Jordan Brand, including his own signature shoe line.

Fresh on the heels of our survey of the history of kicks donned by star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown, we thought it prudent to do the same for his fellow All-NBA star forward teammate Jayson Tatum. Unlike sneaker free agent Brown, Tatum has himself a sneaker deal with Jordan Brand, including his own signature shoe line.

So expect to see a heavy Nike bias amongst the kicks that have donned the feet of the St. Louis native since he came into the league in 2017, but for about as good of a reason as anyone could come up with for such levels of brand dedication.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at what Tatum has worn on the court with the Celtics.

Celtics alum Kemba Walker makes AS Monaco debut wearing Jayson Tatum’s signature sneaker

Kemba Walker was rocking Jayson Tatum’s signature sneaker when he made his debut for AS Monaco.

When former Boston Celtic Kemba Walker made his debut overseas with EuroLeague’s AS Monaco, the veteran point guard had on a special pair of sneakers. The four-time NBA All-Star wore a black and white pair of Jayson Tatum’s signature Jordan shoes, the Tatum 1s.

After twelve seasons in the NBA, Walker inked a deal to play in Europe this summer. The 33-year-old explained he was particularly excited that Monaco was so eager to sign him and believed in his ability to lead their team. The move pairs him with fellow former NBA players like Elie Okobo and Domantas Montejunas, both of whom also play for Monaco. Following the game, Walker shared his joy over what was an exciting first game with his new club.

“I loved every second of it. These fans are amazing,” Walker said. “They cheer for their team the entire night. I appreciate that.”

Ever wonder how a pair of Jayson Tatum 1 sneakers gets made by the folks at Nike’s Jordan Brand? The design studio at Jordan Brand creates performance shoes that combine both motion and emotion. They draw inspiration from athlete insights and focus on storytelling.

The brand collaborates with athletes to solve design challenges. The designers incorporate personal details from athletes such as Tatum and Zion Williamson and use haptic print technology for strength. Collaboration, innovation and inspiration are key elements of the design process — as are simple questions like ‘What animal would you be if you could be any animal?”

To see for yourself how something like Tatum electing dolphins for his answer translates into the shoes you want to wear.

The Jordan Brand signature Jayson Tatum 1 line of Nike sneakers has officially announced a new set of colorways for the popular NBA kicks per new reporting from Complex’ Brandon Richard, with the new crop of four signature sneakers that reflect the Boston Celtics star’s personal life as did the initial four colorways. The first of the four, dubbed “Old School,” will be released on July 15 of this year and reflects Tatum’s fandom of American automobiles.
