There has been a slew of new signature sneaker lines launched over the past year, and many of their rollouts were rocky at times. One of the stronger sneaker debuts came from Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum

Jordan Brand unveiled the Jordan Tatum 1 last year for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, and later that night, Tatum took home the MVP award. As much as we hate to see the Jordan Tatum 1 go, we cannot wait for the second installment in Tatum's signature line to launch in March.

Now that we are nearing the end of the Jordan Tatum 1 lifecycle, it is time to highlight the top colorways of one of the past year's best models. Check out the FanNation Kicks' top ten list below.

Why We Love It: The 'Barbershop' colorway was one of the earlier releases of the Jordan Tatum 1, which drew direct inspiration from Tatum's upbringing. The Coconut Milk upper was smooth, but the barber pole on the pull-tab was superb.

Release Information: The Jordan Tatum 1 'Barbershop' was released in May 2023 for $120. Online shoppers can find them on the sneaker resale platform StockX.

9. St. Louis

Why We Love It: Tatum represents his hometown every chance he gets, especially on the basketball court. This Archer Avenue-inspired colorway sports a clean white, blue, and red style that seems like a nod to the St. Louis Cardinals.

Release Information: The Jordan Tatum 1 'St. Louis' was released in April 2023 for $120. Online shoppers can find them on the sneaker resale platform StockX.

8. Celtics

Why We Love It: Inspired by the Boston TD Garden or Tatum's family, we might not ever truly know. But the 'Welcome to the Garden' is a flex with the floral upper and metallic Jumpman logo.

Why We Love It: Before a game in December, Tatum told reporters his favorite colorway is the 'Blue Planet' (and one other colorway not on this list). This all-blue hoop shoe is an obvious nod to Tatum's alma mater, the Duke Blue Devils.

1. Pink Lemonade
