P.J. Tucker is going back to his basketball roots with his latest player-exclusive sneaker.
The Milwaukee Bucks forward recently unveiled a Nike Kobe 6 PE dubbed "Texas2Toronto" that celebrates his journey from the University of Texas to the Toronto Raptors. The shoe combines the Longhorns' burnt orange with the Raptors' red and features nods to Tucker's college accomplishments and his life in Austin, Texas.
Tucker, 35, was a second-round pick of the Raptors in the 2006 NBA Draft and appeared in 17 games with them as a rookie before being waived. He returned to Toronto in 2017 as part of a trade between the Raptors and the Phoenix Suns.
