The Commander’s Kicks

By Dime Magazine

adidas is celebrating the Celtics’ attempt at a seventeenth NBA championship through a limited quickstrike release of the Team Signature Commander, a team shoe slated to release in ’08. This rare exclusive shoe will sport Kevin Garnett’s face on the ankle collar, along with an NBA Finals emblem on the medial side.

Each game, the Three Stripes will be releasing eight pairs to hit stores at a special retail price of $1,017, with all profits going to NBA Cares affiliates in the Boston area. At the end of the series, one special pair of the TS Commanders will be auctioned off on NBA.com by KG himself.

   honestly, those kicks are kinda ill. KGs face is a little extra, but they still get a pass.

   I like the color scheme. The adidas website lists them as “bow out black” and “runner up green”.

   lol
   So is Kevin Garnett gonna actually where these? What kind of jackass would where shoes with a picture of their own face on them? I just found a legitimate reason to watch the Finals now.

    not a fan of these shoe companies printing players faces on the shoe…Silohuettes as logos are fine i.e Sheed…but a physical image like that doesn’t work for my tastes.
