Trae Young played himself into the lottery pick discussion for 2018 with his standout season for the Sooners, and ended up being drafted 5th overall. He wore Nike Kyrie 4 shoes on court for Oklahoma.

Young was one of the most coveted rookies for the big shoe companies in the 2018 draft class, and the prolific point guard opted to sign a multi-year deal with adidas just prior to the draft. He wore Harden Vol. 1 shoes during 2018 Summer League play.
