As the month of February tipped off, the league office loosened its color restrictions in honor of Black History Month. During February, players aren't limited to their team's typical hues, meaning you can expect to see more color, more themes and more storytelling hitting the court than ever before.
In Utah, that meant breakout rookie Donovan Mitchell pairing the team's unorthodox, gradient, red-and-orange "City Edition" uniforms with a black-and-white, hand-painted "Spida" pair of the Adidas Dame 4, playing off of his longtime nickname with a web graphic atop the toe. In Minnesota, All-Star Jimmy Butler donned an exclusive 2011 "Black History Month" pair of the Air Jordan 3 with gold accents, standing out from the Timberwolves' subdued grey jerseys.
