SLAM: Langston Galloway on signing with Q4 Sports

It’s early in the season, but Langston Galloway has already established himself as one of the League’s premier sneakerheads. A few months before he wore the “Gloria” Nike Air Zoom Generation on-court, Galloway launched a sneakers-only Instagram page to flex his deep collection of fire kicks. We’ve also seen the 25-year-old lace up iD versions of Nike PG1 and the Brandblack Rare Metals to start the season.

But Galloway will start rocking different in-game kicks in December. He’s agreed to a two-year (with an option in the third year) contract with Q4 Sports, a new sneaker company.

“With Q4, it was a great opportunity to sign with a company that is really trying to help their players, trying to grow their brand and be able to showcase what new brand they are,” Galloway says before tonight’s game against the Lakers. “Lining up with that type of brand, I think that’s going to be huge and impactful for me. I’m new to Detroit, just signed a big contract. I’m excited to just start fresh.”

Galloway will be playing in PE versions of the Q4 495 Lo. Q4 named it the 495 because that’s the “temperature at which gas ignites and explodes,” according to their website. The silhouette features their signature KOMpress Technology, which makes use of a lightweight midsole cushioning. It also has a knit upper.
