Nike PG 4 Pickled Pepper

This bright and bold colorway of the Nike PG 4 is inspired by Paul George’s nickname in China, Pickled Pepper, due to the homophonic pronunciation of his name and the spicy pepper.

“Pickled Pepper” not only represents George’s pungent skill on the court, but also conveys a sense of cultural identity in the hearts of Chinese fans. The Nike PG 4 “Pickled Peppers” uses a special skin texture for its Swoosh logo; the zipper covering the shoe body is decorated with chili patterns; the tongue is also embellished with pickled pepper patterns; in addition, the heel is in Chinese with the words “Pickled Peppers” written on them. The bright tone of the entire pair of shoes also represents that George on the court is as unstoppable as the spicy flavor of pickled peppers, aiming to pay tribute to the local Chinese basketball culture.
