If you know about Tracy McGrady, you know. A once-in-a-generation athlete who, unfortunately, succumbed to injuries in his prime. The two-time NBA scoring leader, 7x All-Star had it all, but despite teammates like Vince Carter, Grant Hill, and Yao Ming, the stars never quite aligned for that elusive championship. It all started back in 1997, when T-Mac was selected with the 9th overall selection by the Toronto Raptors, which is where this new adidas T-Mac 3 takes its inspiration.
Recalling the early days of the high school-to-pro hooper, decorating the updated retro model with croc-skin exteriors to mimic the now-extinct raptor. Pin-striping on the interior as well as the silver piping on the medial side nod to Toronto’s unforgettable jerseys, while a “97” callout on the heel and tongue nod to Tracy’s rookie season.
Grab a look in detail for yourself below, and expect to see this adidas T-Mac 3 “Raptors” land at select US retailers soon, as a release has already occurred in Japan.
