PE Spotlight // Brandon Jennings' "Rudolph" Under Armour Bloodline

December 22nd 2011 | 155 comments

words // Nick DePaula

We've seen quite a slew of holiday themed releases over the years, but these are definitely a first.

While the Milwaukee Bucks aren't exactly playing on Christmas Day as the league opens up shop on Sunday, you still might be seeing point guard Brandon Jennings getting festive on-court for the team's season opener in this Rudolph inspired version of his Micro G Bloodline. Yes, red nose and all. 

The upper clearly takes on a wild faux-reindeer skin, with rich full-grain leathers rounding out the collar and tongue in a complementary shade of dark brown.

The only visible stitching on the shoe -- a triple stitch that circles the upper and never stops, representing Brandon, his mother Alice and his brother Terrance -- can be seen in Bucks and holiday-themed accents of red and green.

The Bucks open the season on the road in Charlotte this Monday night, with Brandon facing off against fellow Under Armour point guard Kemba Walker. If things pan out, they'll both be in custom Christmas-themed kicks.

In this behind-the-scenes look at the shoot, photographer Kelly Kline guides DeAndre through a series of intense action shots for the upcoming "Are You From Here?" print ads.
