The back-to-back NBA Champion Golden State Warriors, in collaboration with the Shoe Surgeon and Shoe Palace, unveiled limited-edition “Champion Tradition” shoes to commemorate the team’s six NBA Championships at an official launch event tonight at Shoe Palace in Oakland. The reimagined Nike Jordan 1’s were handcrafted by sneaker designer and artist The Shoe Surgeon and will be raffled off with all proceeds benefiting the Warriors Community Foundation. The raffle, hosted by StockX, will launch on Tuesday, February 26 and run through Monday, March 4.
At the launch event, Bay Area youth from a variety of Warriors Community Foundation beneficiaries were invited for an exclusive look at the Champion Tradition shoes, to take photos with the team’s six NBA Championship Trophies, and to listen to a panel of guests including Warriors Assistant General Manager and Vice President of GSW Sports Ventures Kirk Lacob; Dominic Ciambrone, also known as the Shoe Surgeon; Shoe Palace owner John Mersho; and Warriors forward Jordan Bell.
