Jayson Tatum is a Jordan Brand athlete which means he is constantly being given dope new sneakers before anyone else. Tatum typically likes to show off what he’s given, and recently, he went on social media and revealed a mesh pair of Air Jordan 11 “Cool Grey’s.” Of course, this is an extremely popular Jordan 11 colorway that received a retro all the way back in 2010. Since that time, fans have been begging for another release, and Tatum’s social media post has some speculating that a retro could become a reality.

Jordan Brand has been known to surprise fans with retro releases when they least expect it so a “Cool Grey” drop certainly isn’t outside the realm of possibility. Over the last two years, Jordan Brand has come through with Jordan 11 retros around Christmas time, which further gives credence to this theory. In 2018, “Concords” got the retro treatment and in 2019, it was the “Bred” model that made a comeback.

For now, a “Cool Grey” release is not officially confirmed so stay tuned for updates as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest information. Also, let us know where the “Cool Grey” colorway ranks for you among other Air Jordan 11’s.

Jayson Tatum has been having himself a coming-out season with the Boston Celtics while Rui Hachimura has been having a quietly good rookie campaign with the Washington Wizards. Both of these players might be rivals out on the court although they certainly have one thing in common which is the fact that they are both signed to Jordan Brand. This past season, they have been doing a lot to promote the Air Jordan 34 and it seems as though both of them are about to get new AJ 34 PEs.

Starting with Hachimura, it appears as though his PE in the Instagram post below will be exclusive to Atmos Tokyo which makes sense since he is from Japan. The shoe has gorgeous cherry blossom patterns and even some more colorful pallets on the left shoe. His “H” logo is made with samurai swords and it is a beautiful tribute to Japanese culture.

Meanwhile, Tatum’s PE doesn’t have a release date and for now, it seems like it will only be for the court. It is going to be called “Welcome to the Zoo” and while it has a white base, it is complemented by some exotic animal print that will have you feeling like the Tiger King.

Let us know in the comments below which one you think is better.

Jayson Tatum is one of the best young stars in the NBA right now and prior to the whole Coronavirus shut down, Tatum was becoming one of the most consistent players in the entire league. He is a crucial player when it comes to the success of the Celtics and there is real potential for him to become a top 5 star in the league.

Tatum will be negotiating a new contract with the Celtics soon and the team will have to decide whether or not they want to pay him the big bucks. According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, the Celtics are already planning on offering Tatum a max contract which at this point is certainly deserved.

Per Windhorst:

“If Jayson Tatum is the superstar that they envisioned when they began this whole rebuilding process when they traded Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce for all of those draft picks hoping to land a player like this, we could see ‘Glory Days’ for the Celtics again. But it’s very much up in the air, and I’m gonna tell ya, they’re gonna have to pay him like it because after this season ends, he is going to get most likely a max contract. They’re going to bet that he becomes that player.”

The Celtics see the potential in Tatum and paying him a hefty salary will bode well for them moving forward. However, with the Coronavirus in mind, there is no denying that max contracts will be a lot less lucrative moving forward thanks to profit losses.

Boston Celtics All Star Jayson Tatum has laced up several special edition Air Jordan 34s this season, including multiple colorways inspired by his favorite food and drink. For instance, the “Chinese Takeout” Air Jordan 34 PE he debuted during the beginning of the season, as well as the colorful “Lemonade” colorway he rocked days later.

Tatum continued the trend on Tuesday night in Indiana with a special “Taco Tuesday” Air Jordan 34 exclusive. 

The kicks perfectly mimic the look of the delectable mexican dish, from the tortilla shell upper to the lettuce-inspired detailing that spills over the top of the tongue and the scowling taco emoji on the heel. Jordan Brand has hit the mark on almost all of their Air Jordan 34 PEs this season, but this Taco Tuesday joint has to rank as my favorite so far.

Boston Celtics’ All Star Jayson Tatum laced up yet another exclusive Air Jordan 34 colorway on Sunday night in Boston, following up the “Chinese Takeout” colorway, “Lemonade” PE and other special edition styles he has in the stash. This time around, Tatum’s Air Jordan 34 was outfitted with multiple colors, honoring the women in Jayson’s life in celebration of yesterday being “International Women’s Day.”

Tatum finished with 19 points, five rebounds and three assists with the colorful “Women’s Day” PE on his feet but it wasn’t enough to lift the Celtics to victory on Sunday, as the team fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder by the final of 105-104. That said, the Cs are still sitting in third place in the East with a record of 42-21, and Jordan Brand is surely cooking up even more PEs in preparation of Boston’s post-season run.

LeBron James has been dominating the NBA ever since he entered the league back in 2003. Coming out of high school, there were a lot of expectations thrust upon LeBron and so far, he has lived up every single one. LeBron is now 35 years old and is in his 17th season. Despite this, he has yet to slow down from a production standpoint. His Los Angeles Lakers have the best record in the Western Conference and he has a solid chance of winning the NBA title. 

As his career winds down, the NBA will look for other young players to become the face of the NBA. LeBron is well-aware of this and has started mentoring some young players. Recently. LeBron spoke out about the future of the league and name-dropped young phenoms like Jayson Tatum, Ja Morant, Zion Williamson, Luka Doncic, and Trae Young.

LeBron James has been leading the Los Angeles Lakers on a journey this season as they currently sit atop the Western Conference standings with a record of 43-12. The team is on a five-game winning streak with their latest win coming against the Boston Celtics. It was a 114-112 slugfest that saw LeBron James score 29 points. On the other end of the court, Jayson Tatum of the Celtics was incredibly impressive as he scored 41 points and gave the Celtics a chance to win the down the stretch.

Following the game, LeBron and Tatum shared a long embrace as the Lakers superstar gave the young kid some props. LeBron eventually got on Instagram where he shared a photo of himself and Tatum waiting to be put back into the game. James paired the image with a caption that essentially gave Tatum the co-sign of a lifetime.

“That boi to the left of me is an ABSOLUTE PROBLEM!! Keep going #YoungKing,” LeBron wrote. LeBron had his fair share of matchups against Tatum while playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers so he knows what the young player is capable of. Now that LeBron is a part of the Lakers-Celtics rivalry, their matchups will be even more interesting.

Perhaps these teams are on a collision course for the NBA Finals. We’re sure NBA fans would love to see that. How could you not?

The NBA All-Star Game is just one month away, which means it's time for those potential All Stars, and their teammates, to start campaigning for votes. For instance, Boston Celtics rookie forward Grant Williams recently made the case for why Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown should all be headed to Chicago next month.

And if all three do earn All Star nods, Williams has vowed to die his hair pink for a month.
