The first man to ever wear a Kanye West-designed Adidas Yeezy model in an NBA game continued to make on-court Yeezy debuts part of his story this past week.
On Monday, Nick Young laced up the new "Blush" Yeezy 500 for Golden State's game at Madison Square Garden. Though a few haters, such as Nike's Kevin Durant and Eric Koston, weren't feeling Swaggy P's daring sneaker selection, the internet was collectively buzzing. The timing of this couldn't have been better, as our own Rich "MaZe" Lopez recently sat down with Young to discuss playing in Yeezys and a potential Kanye West collaboration for the NBA Finals in the latest episode of Release Roundup.
