The Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers 125–119 on Friday night. It wasn’t a pretty win, but they are still perfect at home this season. Before getting thrown out near the end of the third quarter, Celtics forward Jayson Tatum scored 21 points and drained some great shots before the game.

A reporter asked Tatum to name his best colorway of his signature sneaker as he walked through the tunnel to get to TD Garden. It’s never easy to ask a signature athlete what their best shoe is. Even more so now that the Jordan Tatum 1 comes in a bunch of cool styles. Tatum gave a very clear answer, which was good for fans.

Tatum answered right away, “Blue Planet… But shout-out to Marquette.” Tatum’s two favorite color schemes are both based on college basketball teams. The ‘Blue Planet’ hue is a tribute to Tatum’s old school, Duke, and the Blue Devils. Also, Tatum showed some love to the Golden Eagles of Marquette.

Tatum’s answers did not come as a surprise. He and other NBA players have worn the Jordan Tatum 1 in different colorways that were only available to them and were made for schools that Jordan Brand supported. Here is everything that fans and players need to know about the kicks and how to get cheaper ones.

There are now dozens of colors of the Jordan Tatum 1. Sneaker fans will be sad to know that the school-only styles will never be sold to the public. Fans can choose from several fire colors of the Jordan Tatum 1 in full-family sizes on the other hand.

The simple design of Tatum’s first signature sneaker has made it a big deal in the basketball sneaker world. The super-light hoop shoe has a mesh top and almost no rubber in it at all. The Nike Zoom Air unit, on the other hand, has a springy cushion setup for the floor.

The Jordan Tatum 1 is a great gift idea for people shopping online for the holidays. Tatum’s first shoe in his own line of unique sneakers was a big hit and stood out in a crowded market. FanNationKicks.com has all the sneaker stories from the sports world.
