Lakers Guard Nick Young Unveils His New Adidas Sneakers

The Los Angeles Lakers guard, known as “Swaggy P,” partnered with Adidas, who launched Young’s Player Edition version of the Crazy Explosive Primeknit, a team-oriented performance model shared with players like Andrew Wiggins. 

The all-white pair of sneakers is personalized with a brand new “Swaggy P” logo patch on the tongues.

Young averaged 7.3 points last season, and found himself getting DNP-CDs under former Lakers coach Byron Scott.

The 31-year-old also scored 14 points on 5-for-8 shooting in a preseason game against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. After a report in August that the Lakers would either trade Young or buy him out, it now seems as if his ability to work the floor could earn him a spot in new coach Luke Walton’s rotation.

Young unveiled his sneakers at a Nice Kicks event in LA on Saturday.
