We’re not even a full week into the league’s 70th annual NBA season, and already we’ve seen our first “theme night” take place, as last night’s Halloween holiday loosened up the color restrictions for a night and gave players some room to play around with their footwear.
Adidas planned ahead, and created a “Ballin’ Dead” color story for its key models and signature athletes in action last night around the league, like John Wall and Damian Lillard. Nike’s lone PE appears to have been made for Pelicans’ rising star Anthony Davis, who broke out a festive pair of the new Air Max Audacity. Peak also laced George Hill in a orange-hued edition of his own signature model.
As you can expect, several players also simply broke out orange-based kicks for the occasion. Check out all of the best Halloween-themed Kicks On Court below, and let us know your favorites in the comments section and on Twitter.
