Averaging a double-double despite the San Antonio Spurs&#8217; record, his 7&#8217;4&#8243; frame and otherworldly combination of skill and athleticism have earned him the nickname &#8220;Alien&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nike, who secured him as part of their 2023 rookie class, is already spoiling the rising star with exclusive gear, including custom colorways of his preferred shoe, the GT Hustle 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unveiled during All-Star Weekend, the &#8220;Alien&#8221; GT Hustle 2 dons a predominantly black upper, splashed with a mesmerizing green galaxy pattern across the mudguard, heel, and collar. Metallic black Swooshes echo the alien motif on the heel, while also subtly stitched onto the green sockliner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a final flourish, the outsole boasts a semi-translucent glow-in-the-dark effect, in addition to the &#8220;Be Unique Every Day&#8221; emblazoned on the sole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect Wemby&#8217;s Nike GT Hustle 2 &#8220;Alien&#8221; to land on shelves at Nike stores and select retailers on 3 May 2024, with a price tag reportedly at US$170.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other news, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/04\/03\/jjjjound-x-adidas-samba-og-mesa-apparel-release-date-price\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JJJJound x adidas Samba OG \u201cMesa\u201d<\/a>.
