What pair do you think surprised fans and sneakerheads the most? I think the first time I wore, you know, a shoe other than my own in an actual game, which was the Batman Jimmy Butler 4s. Those, like, even my own teammates, nobody knew I was actually wearing, gonna wear another shoe other than mine until literally right when we went to the starting lineups and we were in the circle and we do like this little dance and everybody's getting hype. And then somebody pointed down and was like, oh, Oh, look at— and then Jimmy looked down, he lost his mind because he didn't even know because like everybody's kind of in their own mode getting ready for the game. And I'll remember that moment for the rest of my life just because it was kind of from a teammate to teammate perspective, being able to show love. The fact that I made it all the way to tip-off and he had no clue I was rocking the shoes. So those type of moments are always fun because you created a memory out of nothing.
