Terry Rozier’s Iconic “Mismatched” Sneakers: A Piece of NBA Playoff History
A Game-Changing Performance
In the annals of NBA playoff history, certain moments stand out not only for their athletic prowess but also for the unique stories behind them. Such is the case with the “Mismatched” sneakers worn by Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier. These sneakers have been conclusively photo-matched to Game Two of the Eastern Conference Finals, a decisive 107-94 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rozier’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, contributing 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists to the Celtics’ triumph.
The Kyrie Irving Connection
Before the start of the first-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks, Rozier was invited by Kyrie Irving to his home. In a gesture of camaraderie and support, Irving allowed Rozier to select a few pairs of sneakers from his extensive collection. These sneakers, including the ones worn during the Eastern Conference Finals, became a symbol of Rozier’s playoff journey, propelling the Celtics to the finals.

The Nike-manufactured “Kyrie 2” sneakers, size “12”, are a testament to unique design and style. The left shoe features a black heel cup, a white Nike “Swoosh” logo, and a strap adorned with a vibrant mix of pink, purple, and yellow. In contrast, the right shoe boasts a lime green heel cup, a red Nike “Swoosh” logo, and a silver strap.
