Paul George’s first signature shoe with Nike, the PG 1, made its debut in September 2016, a long wait for a star player who had already played six seasons in the league. The PG 1 quickly became one of the most popular shoes in the NBA. His second signature shoe, the PG 2, released in February 2018 with George on the Oklahoma City Thunder, introduced a radical redesign for the star two-way player. He followed that up with the PG 2.5, which brought the beloved midfoot strap back.

While both the 2 and 2.5 were wildly popular among NBA players, the PG 3 was less of a hit, despite its overall solid performance reviews and appealing aesthetic.

George then moved on to the PG 4, which was something of a radical though underwhelming redesign, and now wears the PG 5.
