By now you've all heard about the horrific leg injury Pacers superstar Paul George suffered during a Team USA scrimmage a few weeks back. While doctors fully expect George to make a full recovery, and we wish him the best, this was supposed to be a big year for Paul as he emerged into a top tier superstar around the NBA last year. Nike had plenty planned for George this year, and today we get a preview of the Zoom Hyperrev 2015 PE he was supposed to lace up during the 2014-15 season.
The shoe comes in a predominately black upper that's complimented by a gold Swoosh branding and a camo design along the heel. To finish the look, Nike gave the PE white accents through the midsole, Flywire, and George's PG logo printed across the tongue. The Hyperrev 2014 was a huge hit throughout the NBA, so it's no surprise Nike wanted to roll out this year's model as the go-to for some of it's brightest young stars.
It was recently confirmed that George will change from his #24 to the #13 next year and will don the PG-13 nickname to further cement his brand, so expect to see more PE's and personalized gear for George with his newly minted nickname plastered all over. Check out the PE's below, and stay tuned for more news on George's recovery and what it means for the Pacer's season going forward.
