The final stage for the WNBA and NBA playoff picture is almost set. The Lakers and Heat (as of Saturday morning) are just a win away from being crowned conference champions. As far as the Wubble goes, the Seattle Storm have a commanding 2-0 lead over the Minnesota Lynx while the Las Vegas Aces look to even the series against the Connecticut Sun.
With the intensity of the semifinals in full-force, the players have been on top of their sneaker game each matchup. This week was no different. A couple of Kobe 5 Protro PEs circled the internet, King James debuted the latest LeBron 18 colorway, and we even got to see a special version of the Air Jordan 35 in action.
Take a look at the selection below. Any kicks that we missed? Let us know, and be sure to give Nice Kicks Hoops a follow for daily coverage on everything basketball.
