Kyle Lowry Shoe Funny Interview Little Kid
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Kyle Lowry, at 32, is the oldest point guard selected to play in this year's NBA All-Star game. The veteran leader of the Toronto Raptors made his first All-Star appearance in 2015, thanks in part to social media campaigning from singer Justin Bieber and Canada's former prime minister Stephen Harper. Lowry hasn't missed an All-Star Game since.
"You never get tired of it … [because] you never know when it's gonna end," said Lowry, a reserve for Team Giannis. "You enjoy the moment … the experience. Be with the fellas, and have some fun."
Lowry is one of three players — along with Houston's James Harden and Portland's Damian Lillard — who will take the court on Sunday at the Spectrum Center wearing Adidas. "It's a brotherhood … a fraternity," said Lowry of the trio of Adidas' All-Star athletes. Lowry joined the brand as a rookie in 2006, when he was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies with the 24th overall pick in the NBA draft out of Villanova.
"Adidas treated me really well in high school," Lowry said. "I … ended up going to a Nike [college] … and Nike was good. But to be able to go back to the brand that supported me in high school was one of the most important decisions I've ever made."
Lowry did leave Adidas for a brief stint with Chinese sportswear brand Peak. "Stupid. It was a business decision at the time," said Lowry, who rejoined Adidas in 2014. "Fortunately, that deal didn't work out and I'm back with the brand. I kinda deleted those Peak years." When The Undefeated caught up with Lowry on Saturday, he broke down every sneaker he's laced up as an All-Star.

"It's comfortable … I've been wearing it for almost a month now. It's real form-fitting to your foot. It gives you the stability that you need. It gives you some bounce, because you got the Boost in there. It's a real good shoe."
Lowry actually began the 2018-19 season wearing the Adidas Pro Bounce Low. In August, he tweeted out photos of his fresh player exclusive (PE) editions of the sneaker. Featured on a tab inside the tongue of each shoe were the words "Kam Kart" — a nod to his two sons Kameron, 5, and Karter, 7.

"One of the most important things in my life are my kids. I always wanted to be able to leave a lasting legacy, and my kids are my legacy," Lowry said. "Basketball is not my legacy. Nothing is my legacy besides my children. I want them to always be a part of my life." In 2016, Adidas began provided Lowry with sneakers designed with his two sons in mind.
"I was writing their names on the shoe … and was like, 'I know it looks good … but let's include them,' " Lowry said. "That was a big thing when I went up to Portland, I had a good long meeting with … the team. I said, 'At the end of the day, the most important thing is having my kids' names on the shoe, instead of having to write it with the marker. ' "
Lowry says he always keeps a pair of his latest shoes at his house so that Kam and Kart know he always plays for them. The two boys are also with dad in Charlotte for the weekend. "They enjoy the moment," Lowry said. "They enjoy being here." The goal for the All-Star Game, this time around in the Marquee Boost? "Win," Lowry said. "I'm 0-4, so I'm trying to get one before it's all over."
