Not only is Zendaya responsible for many of the most memorable acting roles for our generation, but she is also a certified bucket. Numbers lie, eyes lie, but the ball never lies.

On Friday, Zendaya, alongside her boyfriend and Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland, participated in a charity event for Project Backboard and HoopBus. Zendaya showed love to her hometown by unveiling a new playground and basketball court at West Oakland Middle School.

There were a lot of heartwarming moments that spawned viral videos, but our focus is always on the footwear. Zendaya wore a pair of affordable and stylish Nike sneakers. Although they are no basketball shoes, that can't stop "Z" from getting buckets.

Zendaya wore the Undercover x Daybreak in the 'Lucky Green' colorway. The shoes were part of a larger collaboration between Nike and Japanese designer Jun Takahashi. Below is everything online shoppers must know about the sneakers.

The Undercover x Nike Daybreak 'Lucky Green' was released in June 2019 for $160 in adult sizes. Luckily for fans of the reimagined running sneakers, they are available below the retail price in most sizes on the resale website GOAT.

The old-school running shoe dates back to 1979 and is one of Nike's foundational silhouettes. Takahashi helped remix the shoe with a jagged back heel clip for a modern feel that communicates creative disruption.

Zendaya can do no wrong in our eyes. The award-winning actress doesn't miss when it comes to her television and film roles, and she certainly doesn't miss on the basketball court. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your sneaker news.
