The Jayson Tatum x Air Max 97 'Saint Louis Roots' sneaker was released in June 2019 with inspiration from the Boston Celtics forward. This model is replete with details that call to Tatum's Missouri roots, beginning with the colors of Chaminade College Preparatory School, his alma mater. The shoe's reflective mudguard is bedecked with illustrations to signify the city of St. Louis, riding above full-length Max Air cushioning. The sole continues the color theme through a Waffle-inspired design, centered around a '314' logo to signify the player's area code.
