If there’s a Michael Jordan of espresso shoes it’s Ian Williams. The landlord of Portland’s Deadstock Espresso has been at the innovative (brewing edge?) of espresso shoes for final in on a decade now, however the GOAT doesn’t keep the GOAT on previous achievements; what have you ever finished for me in recent times? And Williams has teamed with the Jordan logo for a coffee-themed Jordan Tatum 2 PE.

It’s a little bit of coming complete circle for Williams. The Jordan logo falls below the Nike umbrella, the corporate Williams started operating as a janitor at sooner than changing into a shoe clothier. Now, he’s making a colorway for one in every of its premier manufacturers. As reported via Sneaker Information, the brand new Jordan Tatum—the sneaker for Boston Celtics superstar Jason Tatum—may have a coffee-themed “mocha” colorway.

The white leather-based and mesh shoe options brown leather-based accents—together with “elephant print” leather-based at the toe and heel, quite paying homage to snakeskin print at the past due nice Kobe Bryant’s personal Mamba sneaker with Nike—in addition to extra brown within the sole and shoe’s inner. Jason Tatum’s emblem in addition to Deadstock’s coffee-beans-in-fire brand each seem at the tongue of the sneaker and the shoe’s insole. A “4th and Sofa” tag is stitched within the tongue, a nod to the Norwest Portland nook the place Deadstock’s cafe sits.

In step with Sneaker Information, no free up date has been introduced for Deadstock’s coffee-themed Jordan Tatum 2 PE. Tatum is ready to be busy main the heavily-favored Celtics within the NBA playoffs, the place, if the present scores hang (play-in recreation nonsense integrated), he could be going head-to-head with the Miami Warmth, led via Large Face Espresso proprietor Jimmy Butler. Wouldn’t be a horrible time to bust out your personal pair of espresso shoes, no?
