With only 30 players across the whole 450+ member league getting a signature silhouette, the NBA has a small pool of talent that has saved this highlight play for the best athletes only. The king of Jordan PEs, Jayson Tatum, is scheduled to receive his first trademark silhouette with Jordan Brand this year. The early pictures of which were shared by trusted Jordan Brand insiders @kicksvision and @consistentkixzllc on their social media pages.

The footwear comes in the Black/Metallic Gold-University Red-Beach color scheme and borrows some DNA from CP3's signature section with JB. It makes use of an engineered mesh upper in all-black that features intricate graphics reminiscent of the "Laser" Jordan releases. As the acid-washed red appearance returns to the heel counter, the black and red color scheme is broken up by a Jumpman emblem in gold.

In these initial images, Jayson Tatum's emblem is hardly seen, but upon close inspection, one can see the letter "T" stitched on top of the black tongue flaps in a light tan color. The shoe's technology is still a secret. However, customers can anticipate one of Jordan Brand's most cutting-edge cushioning innovations, such as Formula 23, to be integrated into the TPU and foam sole unit.

When the allegedly leaked Jordan Tatum 1 image surfaced, the basketball player acknowledged that it was "not the real image" and "not necessarily precisely how they look" in a post-game interview. The leaked image was then considered to be a prototype of the collab's signature silhouette.
