There are not many more formidable arenas in the NBA than TD Garden or the old Boston Garden. As a Lakers fan, it conjures images of some very disappointing losses on the parquet floor. But even the most jaded hoops fans must give love to Jayson Tatum's newest signature sneakers that pay tribute to his hostile home arena.

On Sunday night, Tatum scored 23 points in the Boston Celtics 114-97 win over the Orlando Magic. It was the perfect night for him to debut the Jordan Tatum 1 'Welcome to the Garden' in front of his home crowd. Below is everything we know about Tatum's newest sneakers and the accompanying Air Jordan 1.

The Jordan Tatum 1 'Welcome to the Garden' features a floral print upper, metallic branding, black suede overlays, and a black rubber outsole. This colorway is considered a player-exclusive model at this time. Luckily, online shoppers can choose between several colorways of the Jordan Tatum 1 in full-family sizing on the Nike website.

The 'Welcome to the Garden' story isn't finished with Tatum's signature sneakers. The same colorway has been applied to an unreleased Air Jordan 1 colorway. Our fingers remain crossed that one or both models eventually hit shelves for Celtics fans and sneakerheads.

Tatum's first signature sneaker has enjoyed an incredible run, and this colorway only adds to its growing lore in the sneaker industry. The colorway truly hit a sweet spot between hoops history and sneaker culture that makes everyone nostalgic about the NBA's most storied franchise.
