The boy is back. Paul George made a triumphant return to NBA play late last season, igniting Indiana’s late-season push to the Playoffs. Although the Pacers missed the cut, the future of the franchise was as bright as ever because their superstar, Paul George, was back at 100%. PG can’t wait to get back on the court this October, but before that happens he and Nike are traveling through China for their annual tours in an effort to further elevate basketball excitement in a country that holds the sport so dearly.
During this short stay in Beijing, Paul George greeted fans and provided some personal workouts to the young athletes of Beijing University. A quick stop at Niketown in EC Mall featured a Q&A as well as an unveiling of the awesome “Beijing” colorway of the Nike Hyperdunk 2015 Low. These events have much larger significance than you think – just look back to Nike athletes the rocked the Hyperdunk before moving onto groundbreaking signature shoes! The full recap of the event is just ahead and stay tuned for more recaps from the Nike Rise tour with Kobe, LeBron, and KD.
