GAME USED TONE Adds Barrett, Middleton
Game Used Tone, a memorabilia company specializing in one-of-a-kind game-used
NBA shoes, jerseys and basketballs, has announced partnerships with New York Knicks star RJ Barrett and the Milwaukee Bucks’ Khris Middleton.
Game used Tone is operated by industry veteran Tone Stakes who worked on the acquisition teams at Panini and Upper Deck, where his contacts led him to developing his own memorabilia company, where items are secured from the players, teams and agents and the items are photo matched to a specific game or time period.
Barrett and Middleton have been attracting interest from the game-used community. “RJ’S collectability continues to climb as he leads the Knicks back to being a champion contender including leading the Knicks to the playoffs last year for the first time in eight years,” Stakes says. “It takes the right balance of confidence and athletic ability to succeed in New York. RJ is the perfect combination of both and has become the long awaited star for the Knicks.”
The Milwaukee Bucks’ NBA championship last season highlighted the play of Middleton.“he’s received a high level of interest in the game used community,” says Stakes. “Khris’ combination of consistently scoring 20+ points a game and his unique Nike PE (player exclusive) colorways, he has become a favorite amongst NBA game used sneaker collectors.”
