These player exclusive sneakers were worn by Kevin Garnett in the 2006-2007 season while playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves. In 2016 Garnett ended his 21 year career as a 15 time All-Star performer and 1 of only 4 players in NBA history to win MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. A 9 time All-Defensive First Team Performer and a 2008 NBA Champion, Garnett is considered one of the best power forwards in NBA History.
Last August, Garnett was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, an honor he shares with Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan. In addition to these accolades, Garnett joined the Olympian ranks in the year 2000 as part of the Gold Medal winning USA Basketball Men’s team.
This pair of KG Bounce sneakers was created exclusively for Kevin Garnett’s personal use. The unique traction pattern is a tribute to the people, places, and events that shaped Garnett in South Carolina (right shoe) and Chicago (left shoe). Other personalized details include Garnett’s face at the heel, printed signatures on midsoles and eyelets, and ‘K’ designs on the right shoe and “G” designs on the left shoe in chrome. The heels are embroidered ‘KP 34’ in red, an homage to Garnett’s hero, Kirby Puckett. The colorway is designed after the Timberwolves signature colors in black with blue and white accented uppers, stitched tricolor Three Stripes logo, two-tone laces and visible Bounce four-spring technology at the heel.
The shoes are accompanied by a Letter of Opinion from MEARS Authentication, LLC, with an “Authentic” Final Grade.
