After missing two months because of a lower back injury, Draymond Green recently returned to a different Golden State Warriors team than he’d last seen. Star shooting guard Klay Thompson was back on the lineup after two agonizing years out with injuries, and the old trio including Steph Curry was finally back together. The three played just two games together, though, before Curry suffered an injury himself that may keep him out until the NBA playoffs begin.
Also new for Green is the Converse All Star BB Shift, a brand new basketball sneaker that launched while he was recovering. The BB Shift isn’t a signature shoe, but Green is still the primary face for the sneaker and Converse basketball as a whole after signing a lucrative contract in 2020. Nike has lent its Air Zoom technology to provide responsiveness in the midsole (Converse is owned by Nike) while a TPU shield helps keep the shoe’s wearer upright through lateral movements. The BB Shift also features a multi-directional pattern on the outsole to further prevent slipping, and leno weave pods use a unique knit pattern to bolster support and breathability.
