Phoenix Suns guard Goran Dragic to honor MLK with awesome footwear

Jan 19, 2015, 6:15 PM | Updated: 11:04 pm

Phoenix Suns guard Goran Dragic is set to honor the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr., in a unique way on MLK Day.

On Sunday, Suns equipment manager Jay Gaspar noted Dragic will pay homage to Dr. King with a pair of cool adidas kicks during Monday’s home game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The words printed on the shoes are from King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech given on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963.

Dragic and the Suns will look to improve to 3-0 during their eight-game homestand Monday.
