Georgia Tech PE Adidas Trae 3

Brandon King

This iteration of the Adidas Trae 3 was made specifically for the Georgia Tech basketball team. It sports a white knit upper with a golden splatter pattern with navy Three Stripes branding on the sides. A Georgia Tech logo appears on the tongue, comleting an upper that sits atop a sail midsole and a Trae logo branded rubber outsole. Look for Damon Stoudamire’s Yellow Jackets to take these to the court in the 2023-24 season. No word on if these will see a retail debut, however that seems unlikely.

Could this be Kyrie Irving’s next shoe?

Brandon King

Although Nike has shown a Tammy Wynette willingness to stand by domestic abusers (Hope Solo) and government defrauders (Brett Favre), they show very little hesitation in cutting ties with Kyrie Irving for retweeting a link to a movie that ruffled the feathers of some members of the Jewish community. Sans a sneaker deal, Kyrie would wear some of his previous models on the hardwood with the Nike branding not-so-conspicuously obscured.
