Most car fanatics enjoy taking their vehicles for a spin in the summertime. Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum likes to put that spin on his signature basketball sneakers.

Tatum's first signature Jordan Brand shoe, the Jordan Tatum 1, has been a hit among athletes and fans. In addition to being ultra-lightweight, the shoe's design lends itself to some amazing colorways that tell stories of Tatum's upbringing.

The Jordan Tatum 1 "Old School" is inspired by the NBA All-Star's affinity for classic American muscle cars. So far, every colorway of the Jordan Tatum 1 has sold out within days. Below is what fans need to know about the latest installment of Tatum's first signature hoop shoe.

The Jordan Tatum 1 "Old School" was released on Saturday, July 15. Luckily for online shoppers, the shoes are still available in most sizes. Athletes and fans can purchase the shoes for $120 in adult sizes, $90 in big kids' sizes, $75 in little kids' sizes, and $55 in toddlers' sizes on the Nike website.

With so many fire colorways coming from Tatum's signature line, these bad boys flew under the radar. They may not have the hype of the "Pink Lemonade" or "St. Louis" colorways, but the colors and detailing will make the "Old School" age as well as iconic muscle cars of yesteryear.

The "Old School" colorway features a sleek black mesh upper, contrasted by a cool grey foam wrapped around the shoe for support. The Jumpman logo and Tatum's signature logo appear in metallic silver. Hits of red detailing on the forefoot and heel cap off the classic look.

Sure, the colorway looks fresher than fresh paint on a muscle car. But many old-school sneakerheads will see this as a nod to other Chicago Bulls-inspired colorways to originate from Jordan Brand. The resemblance to "Black Cement" colorways is undeniable.

Despite the name, some schools don't get old. Just like classic cars, Tatum's newest shoes are going to age to perfection with time. Stay locked into FanNation Kicks for all your sneaker coverage.
