Langston Galloway, Q4 partner and current Detroit Piston, played an integral role in facilitating this collaboration with the Pistons' organization. Langston is known on and off the court for his creativity and footwear passion and has been "wowing" NBA fans with his original footwear designs in collaboration with the very talented artist, Andrew Lewis. "As a current member of the Q4 family, I know the brand celebrates players who work hard and supports their creativity and passion. It's fitting that these Championship teams are being presented with their own Q4 shoes in celebration of what they stand for."
