Nick Young has finally unveiled his own shoe.

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.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Watt called it the “coolest day ever” and said every athlete dreams of having his own shoe.

“If you’re not waking up in the morning trying to be the greatest athlete in the world, then you’re not doing it right,” Watt said at the unveiling.

The shoes will cost $99 and be officially released on July 15. Watt, 27, now joins Yao Ming, Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson as the only athletes to have their names on a Reebok shoe.

The sneaker, which is white with red trim and the J.J. logo on the tongue, isn’t particularly flashy, and some have compared it to the much-maligned Stephen Curry Under Armour sneakers.

The star Texan was spotted wearing the shoe at the team’s facilities during minicamp earlier this month.
