NBA player Dennis Smith Jr. and Under Armour Basketball have revealed their newest and coolest collaboration.

Influenced by his love for Mortal Kombat character Sub-Zero, Smith is looking to freeze whoever guards him on the court with the Anatomix Spawn MK11 “Sub-Zero.” Featuring a multi-textured upper, hues of navy and blue serve as an ode to the character’s armored vest, complete with ice-bound detailing that hits the midsole. Under Armour’s glowy branding is reimagined with a frosted outline, added with Mortal Kombat’s logo on the tongue tab, aglets and insole.

“This custom colorway of the UA Anatomix Spawn brings my love for Mortal Kombat and Sub-Zero to life, and I’m excited to share it with players who also share my same gaming passion,” the New York Knicks PG said in a statement.

The Under Armour Anatomix Spawn MK11 “Sub-Zero” drops on April 26 on ua.com in limited quantities. Those in the Los Angeles area have a chance to cop the pair early during Under Armour and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment pop-up experience at BAIT on April 24.
