Playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, Paul George, or ‘PG13’ is one of the NBA's best two-way players. Drafted in 2010 with the 10th overall pick by the Indiana Pacers, PG’s early game was all about his athleticism. While playing for the Pacers, George became the "Most Improved Player" in the 2012-13 season. He led the team to back-to-back Eastern Conference Finals, where he had memorable battles with ‘the Heatles’ big-3 led by LeBron James. Known for his smooth spot-up jump-shooting, George's offensive arsenal is a sight to behold. His jump shot is often regarded as one of the most aesthetically pleasing in the game. However, during the 2014 off-season, George’s career took a terrifying turn when a gruesome leg injury threatened to end it all.

However, his triumphant recovery and return to an MVP level of play is often hailed as one of the greatest injury comeback stories in the history of the NBA. Paul George is a nine-time All-Star, has six selections to the All-NBA Team, and four appearances on the NBA All-Defensive Team. Today, Paul George continues to be a cornerstone for the Clippers, working alongside Kawhi Leonard to bring an NBA championship to Los Angeles. In the 2023-24 season, Paul George averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks, with a FG% of 47.1% and a 3P% of 41.3%.

In 2024, Paul George often steps onto the court in the stylish Nike Kobe IV Protro shoes. In the earlier stages of his career, George always sported Kobe sneakers, as he loved legendary Kobe Bryant's Nike Kobe sneaker line. However, in 2017, Nike signed Paul George and launched the PG sneaker line, starting with PG1 sneakers. Since then, Paul George predominantly laced up his own signature PG sneakers for most games, while occasionally reverting to Kobe sneakers as a nostalgic tribute.

However, following the end of his signature sneaker line with Nike, Paul George again started wearing Kobe sneakers - Nike Kobe IV Protro. As reported, the Nike PG sneaker line officially concluded in 2023 after the release of the Nike PG 6. While Nike opted not to renew George’s contract, they plan to release retro editions of his earlier signature sneakers, preserving the legacy of his line.

Paul George’s partnership with Nike began in his rookie year in 2010, with his first PG signature sneaker launching in 2017. Known for its innovative design, vibrant colorways, and accessible price, the PG line resonated with both fans and fellow players. Yet, by late 2022, fans noticed George shifting back to Kobe sneakers—a return that coincided with Nike’s debut of new signature lines for Ja Morant and Devin Booker.
