The Nike PG 2.5, introduced in June 2018, is an enhanced version of Paul George's second signature shoe. It sets itself apart from its predecessor by reintroducing the midfoot strap from the PG1, but with a fresh touch of new webbing instead of the original Flywire. The 'Anthracite' colorway of the PG 2.5 showcases a black mesh upper, strengthened by tonal black synthetic paneling on the toe and heel. Adding a touch of flair, a reflective Swoosh is found on the medial side, while a second backward-facing Swoosh complements the speckled black midsole. To ensure optimal traction, the partially translucent white rubber outsole is accompanied by a high-traction tread.
