Another key attribute that has adorned KG's shoes throughout the years are his tributes to two of his good friends and mentors: Malik Sealy (former Timberwolves teammate) and Kirby Puckett (former Minnesota Twins Superstar Centerfielder).
Malik's tribute is located under the strap and says "2 Malik", while Kirby's call out, "KP 34" is located on the back of the shoe, just below the adidas logo.
"KG redefines what passion means on the basketball court but this energy also spills over to include every off-court initiative that he is involved with as well," stated Lawrence Norman, VP Global Basketball for adidas.
"His switch never turns off - KG is 100% authentic and his drive to make a difference in the community is real and ongoing.
This was the perfect concept for a guy like KG and adidas to get involved with as we both enjoy finding fun, creative ways to give back to the local community."
"KG has shown throughout his career that he is a consummate team player, whose passion for the game, his teammates and his community is unmatched," stated Rich Gotham, President, Boston Celtics.
"KG embodies all of the characteristics that all true Celtic greats have and this is one of many ways that Kevin gives back to the city of Boston and its fans."
The limited edition adidas Team Signature Commander will only be available at Celtics.com, the TD Banknorth Garden Pro Shop and NBA Store in New York City.
