With a nationally televised game against the Chicago Bulls on the schedule, Danny Green chose Thursday night to honor late ESPN anchor and fellow Tar Heel alum Stuart Scott.

As reported earlier this week, Green commissioned Jake Danklefs of Dank Customs to cook up a special tribute to Stu on the Nike Soldier 8. Danklefs obliged, treating the sneakers to a Spurs-themed black and silver colorway with hints of Tar Heel blue and classic Scott catchphrases on the heels.

Scott passed away on Jan. 4 after a long battle with cancer. He was just 49.
