We already know the Nick Youngs, the JR Smiths and the Nate Robinsons of the Kicks On Court world will forever bring an abundance of rare and intriguing sneakers to the court. But we seem to discover a new flock of players that demand attention with certain shoes on court each year. If you recall, we’re only a year removed from Derrick Williams, DeMar DeRozan and Damian Lillard bursting onto the scene with creative takes in regards to the kicks on court they wear.
With this summer’s transactions and preseason notables in mind, we take a look at 5 Fresh Feet to Watch this Season.
Jared Cunningham – Atlanta Hawks
Position: Guard
Social Media: Twitter: @J1Flight/Instagram: J1Flight
Preseason Notables: Air Jordan 13 Black/Red, Air Jordan 13 “Playoffs,” Nike Flight One
From: Oakland, California
Why you should pay attention: Jared Cunningham has been flying under the radar since he entered the NBA. Having played with the Dallas Mavericks in limited action last year, the 22-year-old never really got a chance to showcase his footwear. However, his increased playing time with the Hawks may have him in the running for the crown this season. Following his Media Day wear of the “Infrared” 6s, we also spotted him in other recently released sneakers during scrimmages against Dallas, San Antonio and Miami.
