Brooklyn Nets star forward Blake Griffin debuted a special Air Jordan sneaker on the court this week that only he owns.

The 32-year-old baller laced up the player-exclusive Air Jordan 35 “McGriffin” on Wednesday evening when his team faced off against the San Antonio Spurs. The look of the shoe pays homage to the 2007 comedy film “Superbad,” specifically referencing the character Fogell who gave himself the name McLovin on the fake Hawaii driver’s license he created to buy alcohol with at a liquor store.

In the contest, Griffin shot 5-8 from the field while scoring 13 points in 20 minutes of action. He also managed to dish out 4 assists and grabbed four rebounds, which led to the 128-116 win over the Spurs on Wednesday night.
