Jayson Tatum debuts exclusive ‘Taco Jay’ sneakers against the Pacers

What does Celtics forward Jayson Tatum like to eat with his family after games?

Tacos — and that’s what inspired his latest Jordan 34 PE colorway.

As the Celtics defeated the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, 114-111, Tatum debut his exclusive Air Jordan “Taco Jay” sneakers during the game. The timing to wear them could not have been more perfect, as it was also Taco Tuesday — a moniker popularized by Lakers forward LeBron James and Tatum’s own teammate, Tacko Fall.

The “Taco Jay” sneakers feature detailing that mimic all of the delectable components of a taco: The shoe comes in a tortilla-shell gold color, the tongue is lined in green and cut into the shape of lettuce, and a taco-emoji is printed onto the heel of the shoe, which is orange to represent cheese.
