Throughout the NBA season, Jamal Murray has proven to be an integral part of the Denver Nuggets' dominance. Since Murray is a star player built for primetime, it's only fitting that he is one of seven signature New Balance athletes in the NBA.

Throughout the season, Murray has worn the brand's flagship model - the New Balance TWO WXY v3. We have seen Murray hoop in plenty of player-exclusive and general-release colorways. Luckily for sneakerheads, one of Murray's fan-favorite shoes has finally been released to the public.

We can all agree there is nothing better than basketball in the summertime. Just in time for warm weather, the 'Summer Basketball' colorway showcases Murray’s love for summer.

Inspired by cloudless blue skies and the bright yellow rays of summer sunshine, the 'Summer Basketball' colorway pays tribute to the perfect time of year for players to put in offseason work or those still kicking it in the playoffs come June.  

The TWO WXY v3 is built on the brand’s powerful FuelCell platform, providing power and energy return for the TWO WXY player. Key colorways from the New Balance Hoops family of athletes have included Zach LaVine’s ‘Windy City,’ Dejounte Murray’s ‘Stonecutters,’ and Jamal Murray’s recently launched ‘Spin Cycle.’ 

It has been a banner year for New Balance, and the brand is about to enjoy even more spotlight with the 'Summer Basketball' colorway shining on the floor of the NBA Finals.
