Zach LaVine Gives Shoes to Fan After Scoring 41 Points

Zach LaVine gave his New Balance shoes to a fan after epic Bulls game.

The NBA understandably gets a bad rap for players missing games due to load management. However, Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine is built different than most of the league.

Last night, the 2x NBA Slam Dunk champion led Chicago to a narrow victory over the Detroit Pistons. In addition to dropping an efficient 41 points, LaVine gave his New Balance shoes to a young fan on his way to the locker room.

LaVine is always reliable and unbelievably kind to fans. Those are just a few of the many reasons why New Balance made LaVine one of the brand's seven signature athletes in the NBA.

The shoes LaVine gifted to the fan are called the New Balance Fresh Foam BB. They are available for $130 on the New Balance website. Below is everything fans must know about the ultra-comfortable hoop shoes.

In January, the Bulls and Pistons faced off in Paris, France. LaVine used the opportunity to debut an unreleased pair of basketball shoes the world had never seen. We would soon learn of New Balance's latest creation, the Fresh Foam BB.

Naturally, the shoes launched and quickly sold out within a few hours. Luckily for fans, the shoes have been restocked in two new colorways since that time. Even better, the shoes are perfect for athletes and fans thanks to their cutting-edge cushion setup.

The Fresh Foam BB shoes are the first basketball shoes to utilize New Balance's "Fresh Foam" technology. We at FanNation Kicks had to see what all the hype was about, and they exceeded our wildest expectations. You can read our performance review here.

New Balance stopped playing fair a long time ago. They signed an All-Star cast of NBA players and have continuously cranked out new shoes that can go toe-to-toe with any other model on the market. LaVine's style is just another reminder of the brand's bright future in the sport.
