Caleb Williams Wears Yeezy Boots to NBA Playoff Game
After winning the Heisman Trophy, there are plenty of perks that come with joining the elite fraternity. On Friday night, USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams showed us one of the benefits includes getting into sold-out events.
Williams got courtside seats to the NBA Playoff game between the Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns. As always, overzealous fans theorized that Williams in Phoenix was a cosmic sign that the future top draft pick would end up with the Arizona Cardinals after the 2024 NFL Draft.
While we at FanNation Kicks are all about calling your shot, our focus remains on footwear. At just 21 years old, Williams is one of the more exciting athletes to cover, thanks to his bold fashion choices and rare sneakers.
Of course, USC is a Nike school. But that does not stop Williams from wearing adidas whenever he gets the chance (just look at his Heisman ceremony suit). Luckily for amateur athletes with NIL deals, the partnerships have proven to be flexible in various situations.
Last night was no different, as Williams wore adidas Yeezy boots and a hoodie designed in collaboration between Satoshi Nakamoto and the brand "Born From Pain." Below is everything fans need to know about the Williams' boots.

On Friday night, Williams wore the adidas Yeezy 500 High in the 'Taupe Black' colorway. The high-top kicks were released in October 2022 for $220 in adult sizes. According to StockX, the average resale price is now $211.
While the Yeezy line once ruled the sneaker industry, the utilitarian footwear fell out of style following the highly-controversial statements made by Ye (formerly known as Kanye West).
Adidas and Ye have since split ways, and the German company is still trying to mop up the massive mess left by the artist. However, fans wanting to purchase a pair of the once-elusive shoes are in luck, as the prices have dropped over the past few months.
As for Williams, he is always a champion of good causes and fire footwear. The college football season does not kick off for another four months, and we are already eager to see what the reigning Heisman winner plans to wear on and off the field.
