The NASA x PG 3 'Apollo 14' was launched in October 2019 as part of Nike's 'Opening Week' collection, which showcased the signature models of their NBA athletes. Paul George, who hails from Palmdale, CA, and plays for the LA Clippers, developed a deep admiration for the U.S. space program due to the presence of NASA research centers in his hometown. This specific version of his third shoe pays homage to his fascination with space through various NASA branding icons incorporated into its design, along with color accents that mirror the uniform of his basketball team.
