The NBA Playoffs have been a breeze for the Denver Nuggets. The play of Jamal Murray has been instrumental in the Nuggets’ ascent to the top seed. With an average of more than 28 points per game in the playoffs, the combo guard has been a nightmare for opponents.

On the basketball floor, Murray is in very exclusive company; in the sneaker world, he is even more renowned. Among New Balance’s seven NBA signature athletes is Murray.

Murray has worn both the player-exclusive and public release versions of the New Balance TWO WXY v3 all season long. The Boston-based label has created a colorway that pays homage to Murray’s character and playing style, continuing the trend of successful prior offerings.

New Balance unveiled the TWO WXY v3 in the ‘Spin Cycle’ colorway earlier today. You can get these shoes from the New Balance online store for $120. Game 2 of tonight’s Western Conference Semifinals will be Murray’s debut in the new colorway. 

The signature Murray move and favourite wash cycle served as inspiration for the white, blue, and green shoe. Rolling through the defence and finishing the shot while improvising in mid-air is Murray’s spin cycle motion. 

The All-Star point guard is one of the most deft finishers in the NBA, and his dazzling footwork and body contortions send his opponents reeling.

Both on and off the pitch, New Balance has had a banner year. New Balance always manages to stay ahead of the curve, even when other manufacturers seem to be recycling old ideas. If you are looking for sneaker news, FanNation Kicks is the place to be.
