Paul George debuts PG4 signature sneaker

Paul George's latest signature sneaker, the Nike PG4, made its debut Sunday ahead of the Los Angeles Clippers' game against the New York Knicks.

The shoe features lightweight cushioning called "Air Strobel" and a mesh-zippered shroud that fastens over the laces - a first for the PG line, according to Nike. The laces can be worn within it or externally.

"Paul likes to play with his laces over the shroud. During play, the mesh is a window into the color choices," Nike designer Tony Hardman said. "It's when the shoe is unzipped that you can see the range of combinations added by the laces. Between the upper colorways and the lacing colors beneath the mesh, players can make the look their own."

The PG4 will be released Jan. 8 in China, and Jan. 24 globally.
