Our daily Kicks On Court column spotted some very historic and shocking moments this week on the NBA hardwoods. Blake Griffin debuted the Nike Hyperdunk 2011 in the 2011 NBA All-Star Game and Kobe Bryant won the All-Star Game MVP by scoring 37 points and grabbing 14 boards in the “All-Star” Nike Zoom Kobe VI. John Wall started the second half of the season in the Reebok Question and Derrick Rose took break from his signature model and rocked the adidas Crazy 8. Lastly, Ty Lawson paid tribute to Jason Kidd with a mid-90s sneaker. Check out our Kicks On Court Weekly Recap
We are all for John Wall sporting new colorways of his signature Reebok Zig Slash sneaker; however, it is always nice to see the players switch it up sometimes. Wall laced up the a blue/white-gold Reebok Question to start the second half of the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Kobe Bryant made sure he was the focal point in the NBA All-Star Game at the Staples Center. En route to winning the All-Star Game MVP trophy, Bryant scored 37 points and grabbed 14 rebounds while wearing the Nike Zoom Kobe VI “All-Star”
Blake Griffin garnered more attention in last Saturday’s Dunk Contest (he wore the Nike Air Max Fly By); yet, he waited to debut the Nike Hyperdunk 2011 on court in the 2011 NBA All-Star Game.
In the same sense as John Wall, it’s always cool to see players take a break from their signature models sometimes. Derrick Rose laced up the ‘University Red’ adidas Crazy 8 against the Miami Heat on Thursday night.
It’s always nice to see today’s NBA players rocking sneakers that were popular in the mid 90s. The Nike Zoom Uptempo V was worn by Jason Kidd as a signature model in 1997. Props to Ty Lawson for bringing back memories with this point guard-associated sneaker.
