The month of June has been on fire for both the WNBA and NBA. The Kyrie 5 is making waves in more ways than one with the help of an animated legend who lives in a pineapple under the sea and Nike’s LGBTQIA+-inclusive “BETRUE” collection.
On top of that, we finally get a look at the LeBron Soldier 13 and even an all-new colorway of the Nike LeBron 16.
Take a look at the best of this past week. Although the NBA season is officially over, Kicks On Court will still be around as the 23d WNBA season keeps bringing out the heat. Let us know your favorites on social media.
