The First Professional Dunker With a Signature Shoe: Jordan Kilganon | Dunk Talk #62

Описание: In this episode, Jordan Kilganon returns to the Dunk Talk to share the full story behind the release of his very own signature shoe—The Game1 Low "Blue Scorpion"—the first custom model designed specifically for a professional dunker. Jordan breaks down everything from early childhood shoe obsessions to the industrial design background that shaped his vision, and how years of testing different models led him to partner with Serious Player Only.

We dive into:
Why traction and containment were non-negotiables in the shoe’s design
How Jordan’s blue hair accidentally became elite personal branding
The importance of lightweight performance and durability for dunkers
Cosmetic touches like the holographic heel, Scorpion Dunk logo, and hidden symbolism
How a tattoo and a goal to touch 12 feet found their way onto the shoe
What this release could mean for the future of dunk culture and athlete-brand collaborations

Whether you’re a dunker, hooper, or sneakerhead, this episode gives an inside look at what it takes to create a performance shoe that actually holds up under elite-level jumping—and what it feels like to see a childhood dream materialize on your feet.
