It’s Gotta Be The Shoes: The Flyest Kicks At Media Day (Part III)

I’m back with the third and final round of media day’s flyest footwear!  To read parts one and two, click here and here.

Brandon Knight + Adidas Crazy 8: Brandon Knight may be a rookie in the NBA, but he appears to be a vet in the shoe game.  Check out his classic Kobes done Detroit style. 

Jonas Jerebko + Nike Zoom Flight V: Another young Piston with great taste in oldschool footwear!  Jonas Jerebko definitely made a swagged-out decision when he opted for a pair of J-Kidd classics for his media day shoot.  I remember my dad having a pair of these in white and navy when I was in elementary school.  I always liked ‘em, and I recall being intrigued by that shiny bubble.  They had that cool outsole with all the bumps, too.  A very unique design that’s stood the test of time.

Emeka Okafor + Nike Air Max Closer IV, Trevor Ariza + Nike Hyperdunk 2010: It’s awfully difficult to hit the court in an ugly pair of player exclusives when you ball for the Hornets–their colors are simply too ill.  Here are ‘Meka and Trevor making some run-of-the-mill Nikes stand out in purple and teal.

David West + Nike Hyperdunk 2011, George Hill + Nike LeBron 9: David West no longer gets to rock those aforementioned Hornets colors, but his navy blue Hyperdunks looked exceptionally sleek.  George Hill showed up in a non-red/white/black version of the latest LeBrons; a nice change of pace there.

Kawhi Leonard + Nike Air Foamposite One: The feet of young Kawhi Leonard could be seen shining in a pair of Pewter Foamposites.  The kid just signed his first NBA deal–might as well show up in a pair of $200 sneakers.  I would’ve done the same thing.

Chris Paul + Air Jordan XI Retro: Technically this isn’t a media day photo, but Paul wasn’t at Hornets’ media day and didn’t get traded in time for LA’s, so close enough.  Here he is arriving in his new city in style–Concord XI style, to be specific.

Did you happen to see a cool pair of shoes that I missed?  E-mail me at admin@nba247365.com and I’ll gladly tack them on to the end of this post.
