When you think about NBA stars and their sneaker deals, you think of the big major brands like Adidas, Nike, Jordan Brand, and Under Armour. These are the brands that dominate sales stateside, and the majority of NBA players are sporting these sneakers. Sometimes though, players will go with an overseas brand that is looking to make a push to bring their brands over to North America. One of those brands is Li-Ning, which has been known to collaborate with Dwyane Wade in the past.
Now, Li-Ning is partnering with Portland Trail Blazers scorer CJ McCollum for their Yushuai 12 silhouette, in a "Rose City" colorway that will be releasing exclusively in Portland this weekend, according to Sneaker News.

On the back heel tab, McCollum's #3 can be found, adding more personalized details to the shoe.
There is no price associated with this sneaker as of right now, but if you're interested in copping these, you can find them at the boutique Index Portland on Saturday. It will be first come, first serve so act quick.
