Jayson Tatum led all scorers during the first quarter of Boston’s Game 3 matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. While going up against the pesky Sixers and a hostile crowd in Philly, Tatum had nine points on 4-for-5 shooting and showed off exactly why his ability to put the ball through the hoop makes him such a highly-regarded young player.
Tatum did all of this while he was rocking some absolute fire on his feet. The Celtics Twitter account tweeted out a picture before the game tipped off of Tatum wearing the latest colorway on Kyrie Irving‘s signature kicks, the “Wheaties” Kyrie 4s.

Irving and Wheaties teamed up to announce the sneakers on Thursday, and despite the fact that sneakers inspired by a box of cereal sounds kind of corny in theory, they’re actually kind of fire. The Kyrie 4s have generally looked great whenever they’ve had any kind of special design, and these absolutely follow suit.
If Tatum keeps up the hot play he displayed during the first quarter of Game 3, he might have to keep wearing these sneakers for as long as the Celtics are in the postseason. No one would complain about seeing these kicks as much as possible, save for maybe the teams that have to play Boston if it turns out these are something of a… lucky charm.
