It's hard to maintain your swag when your kicks are falling apart, but that's not an issue for Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young.
For the second-straight game, Swaggy P broke out the 'Cool Grey' Air Jordan 11 Retro — the first pair from 2001. And in a not-so-surprising development, the aged yellow sole blew out on him early in the contest. He finished the game in a custom pair of Nike Kobe 9s.
About the mishap, Young told reporters, "Gotta talk to Michael Jordan before I send out this lawsuit!" Apparently, he didn't learn from Tony Wroten earlier this year.
Teammate Jordan Hill also got in on the fun, telling TWC, "That's what happens when you get your shoes from Target."
Young more than likely picked the kicks up at RIF LA, a spot he's known to frequent.
Despite Sole-gate, Young played one of his best games of the season, dropping 21 points off the bench in a 111-95 loss to the Washington Wizards.
