Monday, July 8, 2019
OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- Klay Thompson is signing a five-year, $190 million deal with the Warriors, and one of the ways he's celebrating is with some new shoes, in collaboration with ABC7 News media partner the East Bay Times.

Crowds lined up outside the Oaklandish store on Broadway in Oakland Sunday morning to get a pair of the special edition sneakers, which highlight Thompson's pre-game ritual of reading the newspaper at his locker.
