A week after his Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Russell Westbrook debuted his latest Jordan signature sneaker, Paul George had a debut of his own in store.
Dressed in astronaut-suit-inspired metallic materials and fittingly team-friendly colors, his new Nike PG3 sneaker was unveiled in a detailed NASA theme, drafting off of George's longtime favorite inspirational mantra and his hometown connection to the government space agency.
Just as PG was coming into his own as a prep player, the NASA Armstrong Research Center opened in Palmdale, California, inspiring the then-high schooler to set lofty goals for his path ahead.
