The outcome of Monday night's NBA game between the Boston Celtics and the Portland Trail Blazers was never seriously in question. Boston cruised to a 121-99 victory over Portland, picking up their 50th win of the regular season.

Boston is beginning to feel inevitable, thanks to the MVP-caliber play of Jayson Tatum. The Celtics forward scored 26 points, dropped eight assists, and debuted a fan-favorite colorway of his latest signature Jordan Brand sneaker.

During last night's game, Tatum wore the Jordan Tatum 2 'Taco Jay' colorway. Inspired by his nickname and affinity for tacos, Jordan Brand has created several player-exclusive colorways for Tatum, dating all the way back to the Air Jordan 34. Below is a detailed look at Tatum's kicks from last night.

The Jordan Tatum 2 'Taco Jay' colorway features a white mesh upper, contrasted by a bright green Phylon frame that contains gold foam and textile pods. Lastly, the green tongue and gold laces provide a delicious finishing touch to the hoop shoes.

Will the Jordan Tatum 2 'Taco Jay' be released to the public? It is hard to say as the Air Jordan 35 is the only model to enjoy a general release of the 'Taco Jay' colorway. However, Tatum's first signature sneaker dropped a 'Home Team' colorway that was pretty similar.

While we wait to learn more about the potential release date, online shoppers can purchase the Jordan Tatum 2 in the 'Momma's Boy' colorway for $125 on the Nike website.

Not only does Tatum's second signature sneaker look good on the court, but it performs at a high level. The single-layer mesh upper makes it the lightest shoe in Jordan Brand's lineup. Meanwhile, the eye-catching design featuring the phylon frame and lateral pods provides the right amount of support to work with you on the hardwood.

As a Los Angeles Lakers fan, this Celtics team has me worried. But I cannot look away from Tatum's stellar play and fire sneakers. The next few months of basketball should be amazing for fans all over the world. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news.
