words // Nick DePaula:
With the official 82-game schedule for each of the league’s 30 teams kicking off this Tuesday, you already know we’ll have you covered all season long with our daily NBA Kicks On Court coverage here and on Twitter.
Before the real games finally get underway this week, lets first take a look back at what everyone around the league wore during this month’s exhibition games. From signature stars like Stephen Curry, LeBron James, KD and DRose all already wearing their newest models, to rising stars across the league debuting new PEs of some of the top fall models, there were plenty of great sneakers in action on the hardwood.
We also got to keep tabs on this fall’s few remaining sneaker free agents like DeAndre Jordan, Mike Conley Jr. and Nick Young as they switched in and out of brands before they’re expected to decide on a new deal this week. Of course, KOC regulars like PJ Tucker, Pierre Jackson, Nate Robinson and Jared Cunningham also made a strong impression to start the year.
Check out all of the best sneakers worn throughout the month of October during the NBA’s preseason, and if you’re anything like us, you surely can’t wait for opening night on Tuesday.
