Though he had a meteoric rise to the top of the NBA’s sneaker standings, PJ Tucker’s journey to the league was quite the opposite. His awe-inspiring story is one full of heart, dedication, and persistence — all key features that shine through in his on-court game, too. It’s on this shoe, the aptly titled PJ Tucker x Converse Pro Leather Hi “OUT THA MUD”, that the journey is celebrated, from his early days, college dreams and rejections, to a career overseas, to sn NBA Champion.
For example, the branding is dressed in a light blue and burnt orange, respectively nodding to his dreams of playing for Nort Carolina, and the fate that led him to the University of Texas. What’s more, the side is debossed with “OTM,” an abbreviation of the aforementioned theme, is dressed in gold — a nod to his 2021 NBA Championship.

The day after, January 23rd, you’ll be able to purchase the Pro Leather Hi via the TBG app exclusively; 17 pairs will be signed by PJ Tucker himself.
