It was not a pretty win, but the Boston Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 125-119 on Friday night to remain undefeated at home this year. Before Jayson Tatum was ejected near the end of the third quarter, the Celtics forward provided 21 points and dropped some gems before the game.

During Tatum's tunnel walk entering TD Garden, a reporter asked him to name his favorite colorway of his signature sneaker. Asking a signature athlete to name their favorite shoe is never easy. Especially when the Jordan Tatum 1 has dropped in several exciting styles. Luckily for fans, Tatum provided a very straightforward answer.

Without much hesitation, Tatum answered, "Blue Planet... But shout-out to Marquette." So, both of Tatum's favorite colorways are inspired by college basketball programs. The 'Blue Planet' colorway pays homage to Tatum's alma mater, the Duke Blue Devils. Meanwhile, the Golden Eagles of Marquette got some love from Tatum, too.

Tatum's answers were not surprising. He and other NBA players have worn the Jordan Tatum 1 in various player-exclusive colorways designed for schools sponsored by Jordan Brand. Below is everything athletes and fans must know about the kicks and how to buy affordable alternatives.

The Jordan Tatum 1 has hit shelves in dozens of colorways. Unfortunately for sneakerheads, the school-exclusive styles will never become available to the public.
