Graffiti Graphics Underline the adidas Trae Young 3 “Spraypaint Pack”

The adidas Trae Young 3 over its seven months as a focal point of adidas Basketball, has tipped off a few patterns that crop up in each successive colorway. On top of a general love for the brighter end of the color wheel, gradients have appeared on about half a dozen Trae Young shoes, from “Acid Orange” to “Lucid Cyan.” Again embracing both of those tendencies, the two part “Spraypaint Pack” stand out with marked contrast between its composite pairs.

First and foremost, the name. While the Three Stripes has proven willing to experiment with their iconic branding, such ventures hadn’t made their way to the Trae 3 until now. The Three Stripes sit above “bleeding” paint splotches on the exterior side of both shoes, clad in a contrast shade compared to their interior counterparts.

The first in the pack come in adorned in a colorful cotton candy palette, shifting multiple times between baby blue and soft pink- be it in the mesh upper, the midsole, or even on the outsole. The only other hue that makes it onto the shoe is navy, dressing the aforementioned interior Stripes.

The second, in “Cloud White/Crew Yellow/Core Black” evokes digital camo, its black to white gradient both undercut and emphasized by small, pixelated hits of grey. It’s overall a much more muted palette than their counterparts, but holds onto just enough color to carry the energy of the Atlanta Hawks phenom.

No release date has been set for the adidas Trae Young 3 “Spraypaint Pack,” but it’s fair to imagine they’ll both arrive alongside one another. We expect the typical Trae 3 retail price of $140 once they do drop.

Elsewhere for the Three Stripes, the very last Yeezy drops are among the biggest sneaker stories this year. Stay in the loop via our Yeezy Release Dates page.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
