adidas will be honoring one of their most popular signature athletes in Tracy McGrady as they're set to expand their release of the '13 in 33′ T-MAC 5 to the United States later in 2023. The shoes commemorate McGrady's late-game heroics against the San Antonio Spurs in 2004, when he improbably scored 13 points in 33 seconds in a game that was all but lost by the Houston Rockets in the final minutes. To this day, it's a pivotal moment in the Hall-of-Famer's career and adidas will be honoring him accordingly with this sneaker.

At the time of his performance, Tracy McGrady was wearing his sixth pro model, the T-MAC 6. However, fans are excited to see the fifth installation return in a clean silver and black colorway, reminiscent of the Spurs' uniforms. The shoes feature shiny silver leather throughout the upper and onto the tongue. The tongue features the '13 n 33′ insignia, while the straps are covered in a black nubuck. The heel features a silver plastic support with hardwood mimicking the Toyota Center floor engrained, an awesome detail added to the shoe. Without a doubt, Tracy McGrady would have looked slick wearing these on the court.
