Crosty Partners With NBA’s Zaza Pachulia

Crosty, a unisex sneaker brand based in the country of Georgia, has partnered with NBA star — and another Georgia native — Zaza Pachulia, to increase the brand’s exposure in the U.S. market. Pachulia currently plays for the Detroit Pistons but had won back-to-back championships with the Golden State Warriors in 2017 and 2018. “This partnership symbolizes our mutual desire to spread the message of freedom and individuality to the world,” said George Mikaia, creative director of Crosty. “We both come from a place of hardship and have fought to where we are today.
