The outcome of Monday night’s NBA game between the Boston Celtics and the Portland Trail Blazers was never seriously in question. Boston cruised to a 121-99 victory over Portland, picking up their 50th win of the regular season. Boston is beginning to feel inevitable, thanks to the MVP-caliber play of Jayson Tatum. The Celtics forward scored 26 points, dropped eight assists, and debuted a fan-favorite colorway of his latest signature Jordan Brand sneaker.
During last night’s game, Tatum wore the Jordan Tatum 2 ‘Taco Jay’ colorway. Inspired by his nickname and affinity for tacos, Jordan Brand has created several player-exclusive colorways for Tatum, dating all the way back to the Air Jordan 34. Below is a detailed look at Tatum’s kicks from last night.
The Jordan Tatum 2 ‘Taco Jay’ colorway features a white mesh upper, contrasted by a bright green Phylon frame that contains gold foam and textile pods. Lastly, the green tongue and gold laces provide a delicious finishing touch to the hoop shoes.
Will the Jordan Tatum 2 ‘Taco Jay’ be released to the public? It is hard to sаy as the Air Jordan 35 is the only model to enjoy a general release of the ‘Taco Jay’ colorway. However, Tatum’s first signature sneaker dropped a ‘Home Team’ colorway that was pretty similar.
While we wait to learn more about the potential release date, online shoppers can purchаse the Jordan Tatum 2 in the ‘Momma’s Boy’ colorway for $125 on the Nike website.
Not only does Tatum’s second signature sneaker look good on the court, but it performs at a high level. The single-layer mesh upper makes it the lightest shoe in Jordan Brand’s lineup. Meanwhile, the eye-catching design featuring the phylon frame and lateral pods provides the right amount of support to work with you on the hardwood.
