The NBA preseason tips off next week, and many players are debuting their latest basketball shoes. However, Golden State Warriors guard Jimmy Butler is making an even bolder move in the footwear industry.

On Thursday morning, ALO proudly unveiled its first sneaker collaboration with Butler. The six-time NBA All-Star was the first of many NBA players to team up with the fashion and lifestyle brand synonymous with premium studio-to-street wear rooted in mind-body wellness.

"I'm close with the ALO team, and I've been wearing the Recovery Mode for a while now," said Butler in a press release.

"This is my go-to for after a game, when I'm making coffee, playing dominoes, relaxing, just being around my people and my family—all the stuff that I do off court that makes it so that I can go out there and perform on-court. So being able to put my own spin on this shoe, I had fun doing it."

ALO Recovery Mode Sneaker x Jimmy Butler

The ALO Recovery Mode Sneaker x Jimmy Butler is more than just a stylish silhouette for athletes; it's the natural evolution of a longstanding friendship between ALO and Butler. The sneaker is rooted in the shared belief that recovery, wellness, and performance are the foundation of greatness.

Butler embodies the intersection of sport, fashion, and culture. His influence extends beyond basketball, inspiring a generation of athletes and tastemakers to embrace individuality on and off the court.

With its striking silhouette, recovery-driven innovation, and the cultural imprint of Butler, the ALO x Jimmy Butler Recovery Mode Sneaker marks the next chapter in performance lifestyle footwear.

Tech Specs

The ALO Recovery Mode Sneaker first launched in 2023 as the brand's inaugural footwear silhouette, designed to bridge the gap between recovery and style. The silhouette combines a sleek, street-wear look with advanced performance recovery technology for recovery in motion.

It is crafted with a structured, supportive outer sole, a high-rebound foam insole, and abrasion-tested rubber for long-lasting wear to support balance and pressure points for all-day recovery.

Best of all, the model is made from cruelty-free vegan leather and recycled components. This revolutionary tech offers both sustainability and superior comfort—lasting up to three times longer than the average street shoe.

The sneaker was designed for supreme comfort and ankle support, making it a game-changer for athletes like Butler. It supports high-impact movement and meets the style and comfort needs of the NBA All-Star.
