Kicks On Court: Election Night Edition - November 5th, 2008
Posted by George Kiel III | Nov 5, 2008|
Today’s Kicks On Court features two Adidas Brand members who took part in a historical night while on the court. As we all know, Barack Obama, our new President, speaks about ‘change’ regularly and quite often. With that said, we didn’t go to the polling center with Kevin Garnett or Tracy McGrady, but we can kind of guess who they voted for. In the Boston Vs Houston game last night, Kevin Garnett hooped in the Adidas TS Commander with the words ‘EMBRACE THE CHANGE’ on the heel in green letters. In the same mold, Tracy McGrady sported the Adidas TS Creator with the words ‘CHANGE IS NEEDED’ on the heel in red letters. It is always a pleasure to see athletes who are in the public eye supporting something or someone that is positive. On another note, Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen hooped in the Air Jordan 2.5 last night (just like every other JB member). While these shoes have been average reviews at best, we can always count on Ray to make them look nice. Is this the best colorway you have seen on the 2.5? Click the jump to see more kicks worn by Tony Parker, Vince Carter, Tim Duncan, Jason Terry and others. Check back tomorrow to see Allen Iverson’s kicks in the Detroit Pistons colorway as he takes the court tonight with his new team. |

@20 (JDizzle) good looking out on that one (knowledge is power. Here is another question that I have why are some of the home teams wearing there road uniforms on some of their home games? I noticed the Suns, Raptors, Rockets, Hornets and a few other teams wearing their away (dark) uniforms at home.

Anyone notice those jumpman pro’s that Finley is wearing in that pick with Jason Terry? I want to see a close up of those!

lol “some kind of mexican” and yeah he needs a nice taper or something lol
Nov 5, 2008 at 3:42 pm
@16….nah actually the NBA allowed them to wear these shoes. They have designated days throughout the season where players can wear shoes not in accordance like with the special proms like the hispanic (sorry it slip my mind what its actually called) celebration and also this christmas when the trailblazers play the mavs both teams will be wearing alternate jerseys: blazer-red, mav-green to go along with the holiday.
—all info here is from Paul Lukas of ESPN…gotta give credit where it is due

Obama should get a haircut or a lining or something.Thet would make young people like him even more.

Ray Allen’s Jordan 2.5’s are probably the best colorway i have seen. Ray always has some of the hottest pe’s out there!

Nov 5, 2008 at 11:26 am
Iverson does not play till saturday against the celtics pierce garnett allen versus wallace rip and iverson Yo Wallace stop hugging KG before the game hug afterwards bang the chump in the paint all nite oh yeah rondo aint better than iverson or stuckeye and if mcdysee comes back he gotta take a 5million dollar pay cut but if he wants a ring he better come back the spurs are sputtering and by the time mano comes back it may be to late plus he wont be in basketball shape till at least allstar time shoes are ok by the way nothing spectacular tho
Nov 5, 2008 at 11:25 am
