words // Nick DePaula:
As teams switch host cities and face off for Game 3 of the 1st Round of this year’s NBA Playoffs, as expected, players will also be switching into new sneakers as their uniforms change.
In Boston, we saw LeBron James break out a new road colorway of the LeBron 12 Elite in a navy base, with white framing and yellow accents. Kyrie Irving also switched things up for his first ever road playoff game, and Iman Shumpert ditched his usual retro Crazy 8s for the adidas Crazy Ghost 2 team model.
Check out the best sneakers from tonight’s Game 3 in Boston, and stay tuned for live feed updates from both the Bucks / Bulls and Warriors / Pelicans games later this evening.
