The Boston Celtics are comfortably set as the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference,  and if the playoffs started today they would have to face the Chicago Bulls. The Celtics have had their fair share of ups and downs this year, but recently their biggest hit thus far may carry into the playoffs, the lose of Kevin Garnett. The big three (Kevin, Paul, and Ray) were the main cause for their huge success last year, but without Kevin Garnett at 100% their chances of  a repeat are dwindling. However, Paul Pierce is making it his duty to pick up the slack and carry the Celtics deep into the playoffs if he has to.

At the request of an avid Boston Celtic fan/blogger, Yoakustom created these fresh pair of Nike Dunks to pay homage to Paul Pierce. The customer originally was just going to get a pair of Paul’s signature Nike Air Max P2 basketball sneakers, but later he learned that they  were only made in kid sizes. So, he did the next best thing, and had his own custom sneaker created.

The Nike “The Truth” Dunk High Customs feature a white leather base with green accents around the toebox, swoosh,  lacing area, and heel. A contrasting white shamrock is placed by the toe, Paul Pierce’s nickname “The Truth” is print one the heels, and a wonderful portrait of Paul Pierce is drawn along the sides. If your a Celtics fan or sneaker fan you got to love the attention to detail on these dope kicks. See detailed pictures and a video of Paul highlights after the jump.
