adidas Recalls Tracy McGrady’s 13 Points In 33 Seconds With This T-MAC 5 Colorway
Subtle shade is thrown at the San Antonio Spurs given that the kicks are done up in their team colors.
During Tracy McGrady‘s tenure with the Houston Rockets, he pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. On December 9, 2004, he faced off against the San Antonio Spurs and racked up a jaw-dropping 13 points in 33 seconds to lead the Rockets to victory. And now fast forward nearly two decades later, the adidas Basketball team is recalling this historical hoops moment by fashioning a special T-MAC 5 “13 Points 33 Seconds” colorway.
Ironically, the kicks appear to mimic (and mock) the San Antonio Spurs as the team’s signature silver and black colors are thrown onto uppers. The glossy leather base is treated with a metallic silver paint job while solid black accents touch down on the lace shrouds, toe box molds, laces and interior liners. The tongues are adorned with “13/33” in black while the heels and outsoles are accessorized with panels that represent the Rockets hardwood court. Furthermore, “T-MAC” branding arrives on the medial side’s forefoot and on the quarter panel’s strap.
Check out a detailed look at the pair in the gallery above and expect adidas and select retailers to launch these in the coming weeks for $160 USD.
Elsewhere in the footwear space, another Wales Bonner x adidas Samba has emerged.
