After three months of the 2014-2015 NBA season, we take a look at the overall Kicks On Court Champion race and the highlights we’ve witnessed in Month 3.
10. Isaiah Thomas
Thomas’ Kicks On Court Index so far: “Black History Month” Air Jordan XX9, “Fear” Air Jordan 3, Jordan CP3.VII PE (4), “3M” Air Jordan 13, “Blackout” Air Jordan XX9, Jordan CP3.VIII PE (4), “Legend Blue” Air Jordan 11, “Bel-Air” Jordan CP3.VII, Air Jordan 5Lab3
Isaiah Thomas climbs into the Top 10 this month by wearing some exclusive sneakers and highly-anticipated general releases. So far this season, he has worn close to 10 Jordan CP PEs and was one of the first players to wear the “Legend Blue” Air Jordan 11.
9. DeMar DeRozan
DeRozan’s Kicks On Court Index so far: Nike Kobe 9 Elite Black/White, “University Red” Nike Kobe 9 Elite Low, Prelude Nike Zoom Kobe I, “Masterpiece” Nike Kobe 9 Elite, Nike Kobe 9 iD (5), “Detail” Nike Kobe 9 Elite, Fan-Designed Nike Kobe 9 EM iD
Demar DeRozan is fresh off of an injury-plagued month and a half, so his stock dropped a bit in regards to the Kicks On Court Champion race. However, look for him to climb, as he has already worn a few, new NIKEiDs since his return, including a purple and red fan-designed pair.
8. Tony Wroten
Wroten’s Kicks On Court Index so far: “Metallic Silver” Nike Chuck Posite, Nike KD7 “Global Game,” Nike Barkley Posite Max “USA,” “Good Apples” Nike KD7, “Calm Before the Storm” Nike KD7, “Mango” Nike LeBron 9, Nike Air Penny I White/Red, “Metallic Silver” Nike Total Air Foamposite Max, “Black Suede” Nike Air Foamposite One, “Sport Blue” Air Jordan 6,
Due to an abundance of injuries, Tony Wroten’s stock has dropped in terms of the Kicks On Court Champion race as well. For the majority of Month 3, he regularly split time between the “Global Game” Nike KD7 and the “Sport Blue” Air Jordan 6.
7. J.R. Smith
Smith’s Kicks On Court Index so far: “Easy Money” Nike KD7, “Legacy” Nike Kobe 9 Elite, “Peach Cream” Nike Kobe 9 EM, “Knicks” Nike Air Foamposite One, Nike Hyperdunk 2014 iD (in honor of his late grandfather), “On the Road” Nike KD7, Nike Kobe 9 Elite iD (4), “Heart of a Lion” Nike LeBron 12, “Dream” Nike Kyrie 1, “23 Chromosomes” Nike LeBron 12, Nike HyperRev 2015 PE, Nike KD7 iD
You become who you hang around. Since getting traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Smith has mostly worn various colorways of the Nike LeBron 12 and the Nike Kyrie 1. He is now the only player in the league that has worn at least one shoe from each current Nike Basketball signature player’s line.
