So these are a special pair that I knew about but didn't know where they were for the last decade. These 2010 Hyperdunks that I wore in my first ever Christmas Day game against the Portland Trail Blazers, my second year in the league. Our incredible equipment manager/director of everything at the Warriors, Mr. Eric Howzen, as soon as I started talking about, you know, shoe free agency and different moments, he pulled me aside at the facility and he said, you know, "Yo, I think I have some old pairs of your PEs." And I was like, "Oh, for real? I didn't even know you kept some." He's like, "Yeah, I gave 2 pair of shoes to my mom and I think she stored them at her house in her garage this entire time." So he's like, "I'm gonna go over there and check and see if I found them." The next day I came into the facility, in front of my locker were these beautiful shoes. These are the only pair that were the original pair that I wore and brought back to wear again 15 years later, so. The only pair. Only ones you can get that check both boxes.
