Philadelphia 76ers guard Tony Wroten is evidently gunning for the Kicks On Court crown this season. He has already commanded attention by being one of the first players this season to don a custom on the hardwood in the form of his Mache-designed Air Jordan 12. Yet, his latest wear might raise even more eyebrows.
In last night’s win against Chicago, the second-year guard took to the court in the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Varsity Red/Black. Not at all to be confused with last year’s “Metallic Red” Foamposite One – a shoe often seen on court – this Pro originally released in 2002 and features a black swoosh on the side to match its black bottom. Over the years, only a few Foamposite Pros have graced the court – namely the Gem Green, Pearl and Electric Green – but Tony Wroten’s wear of the Varsity Red pair is a welcomed first.
View these kicks on court, plus Lance Stephenson’s high school PE, Monta’s magic and Kyrie’s Hyperdunks, below.
