Six-time NBA All-Star Paul George is kicking off his 2020 season with the Los Angeles Clippers sporting a new pair of shoes — his new Nike PG4s — and he says the new collaboration is different from any other sneaker that fans have seen on the court.
"We want it to be fresh and we want it to be a new feel," George told Cheddar. "And I think we hit home every time."
A closer look reveals the PG4 is hiding a kind of "sneaker-ception," the shoe unzipping to reveal a lace-up sneaker beneath. The two-for-one concept is fitting for a player like George, who has been white-hot on the court and cool as a cucumber outside the arena.
"I think the duality of it, with zipper open or zipper closed, is two different styles of shoes," George said. "There's an underlying layer that you don't see. I think it pertains to me; I'm a cool, calm, and collected person. But when I'm on the court that's battle mode; I'm engaged and fiery and you see a different side of who I am."
It also appears the recent Oklahoma City Thunder transplant is pleased with his time as a Clipper so far.
"We're playing well right now," George said. "We're still learning and figuring each other out and there's always room for improvement. That's what's most important about this team: we know what the end goal is and we're taking every day to try to get to it."
He and his team are now running in L.A. Laker territory, not just geographically, but with a dynamic duo of its own, newcomers Paul George and Kawhi Leonard coming up against Lakers' stars Lebron James and Anthony Davis. In his usual fashion, George doesn't seem too worried about the rivalry.
"There's a legit battle here. Growing up as a Californian, I think it's awesome that we have two amazing L.A. teams and may the best [one] win."
A move to the Clippers was more than a career shift for the Angeleno — it was a homecoming.
"To be home again, for my kids to grow up here, it just means so much more outside of basketball."
