Sunday night's NBA game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics was everything you would expect from the matchup. Jayson Tatum poured in 34 points to lead the Celtics to an easy home win over their conference foe.

Tatum continues to look like the next face of the league and possibly the basketball sneaker world. The Celtics forward impressed fans by debuting a blue and orange colorway of his signature sneakers inspired by the Florida Gators.

Florida is one of a select handful of college basketball programs sponsored by Jordan Brand, and Tatum's first signature sneaker has been a hit among Jumpman schools. Below is everything fans must know about the rise of the Jordan Tatum 1 among college hoopers.

Hoops fans have seen the Jordan Tatum 1 appear in multiple-player exclusive colorways honoring select college basketball programs. Unfortunately, none of them will ever be released to the public as they are reserved for the student-athletes.

The silver lining is there are plenty of general release colorways of the model that are legitimately fire. Online shoppers can choose between several colorways of the Jordan Tatum 1 in full-family sizing on the Nike website.

At just 25 years old, Tatum has not yet reached the peak of his playing career. Fans can expect the superstar to enjoy a meteoric rise in the sport and the sneaker industry over the next several years. Follow FanNationKicks.com for all of your daily sneaker news.
