If you’re interested in rocking the same shoes as Rudy, you can buy this very colorway from Puma’s website for a modest $120. If you’re confused by the concept of NRGY beads, the video here provides a great explanation. The NRGY beads, which are similar to the tech found in Adidas’ Boost line, are located in the sole of the shoe and provide perfect and adaptable cushioning. IGNITE is supposed to provide responsive cushioning with a polyurethane sole. Tech-wise, its loaded with Puma’s IGNITE foam in the mid-sole and NRGY beads. Known as, “Red Blast,” the combination of red and yellow almost make this particular shoe seem orange when viewed from different angles. Though NBA players are notorious for getting “Player Edition” colorways of their sneakers, this particular colorway is available for purchase on Puma’s website.
Though he’s mainly gone with Spurs-themed colorways on his shoes this season, Gay has rocked a vibrant, non-Spursy pair on more than one occasion, including last night’s win over the Pelicans. After a short spell wearing Nike while Puma sorted out some issues he was having with their sneakers, Rudy Gay is back to wearing the Clyde Court.
