Cade Cunningham is ready to run it back. The Detroit Pistons’ star helped the team dominate the regular season, only to let it slip away in the playoffs last year. Cunningham’s Pistons are looking to dethrone the Knicks next year, and while we wait to get eyes on Detroit Deuce’s upcoming signature silhouette from the Swoosh, he’s got plenty of PEs on the way.
Rugged Like Cade’s Play
The Nike ST Charge Cade Cunningham Rugged is the last in a three-pack of ST Charge PEs to drop this summer, following a Detroit Tough pair that hit shelves in June and a Bowie high school colorway that dropped at the top of July. In August, the Rugged pair brings some ACG Mowabb vibes to the tough basketball silhouette.
Featuring a khaki tan mesh upper, the bottom half of the upper and the midsole are coated in an extra layer of transparent armor with textured arrows running both directions. Pistons blue pops on the tongue and the sockliner, with orange accents on the mini Swoosh at the lateral heel and the heel cradle. Finally, Cunningham’s jersey number 2 is added on the heel tab.
