Every summer, the NBA rounds up its recently drafted rookies for an annual full day of photos and interviews as the league’s newest players prep for their debut season.
Headlined by top overall picks and newly signed Nike endorsers Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell, this year’s shoot included a humongous all white backdrop for player poses, which was way cooler than when they had the 2012 class doing random poses in the middle of a field.
From a sneaker standpoint, we also saw newly signed adidas endorsers Justise Winslow and Kelly Oubre Jr wearing the new Crazy Light Boost 2015, Jerian Grant broke out the “F&F” Under Armour Curry One Low, and the best sighting goes to Celtics’ rook Terry Rozier, who turned back the clock and wore the red suede Air Jordan XX1.
Check out all of the best sneakers from yesterday’s NBA Rookie Photo Shoot below.
