Darius Acuff Jr. has been a star at every level of basketball he’s ever played. After leaving high school with a sneaker deal and a spot on the Arkansas basketball team, Acuff Jr. signed his first signature deal with Reebok before his first college season was over. A one-and-done draft pick, Acuff Jr.’s meteoric rise hasn’t stopped, with Reebok debuting his personal logo during the preseason, and now, his first PE pair made for his NBA debut.
Acuff’s Engine is Warming Up
The Reebok Engine A Darius Acuff PE is the first shoe featuring Acuff Jr.’s new “DA” logo from Reebok, keeping the same energy from his year in Arkansas with a monochrome coat of bright red. The debut PE colorway didn’t match Acuff Jr.’s Sacramento Kings jersey, but it did stand out on the court in his league debut, despite his 5-for-24 shooting performance. Hey, it’s a long season.
