Kicks On Court - December 15th, 2008
Posted by George Kiel III | Dec 15, 2008 Last week, many of you thought Joe Johnson’s Jordan 6 Rings PE was one of the best sneakers spotlighted in our Kicks On Court. Yes, it was one of the better 6 Rings we have seen all year, but we have now spotted Johnson hooping in an even better Jordan sneaker!
Although the NBA playoffs are very far away, Joe Johnson hooped in the Air Jordan 8 Black/Varsity Red-White “Playoffs†this past weekend against the Miami Heat. If you recall, the Air Jordan 8 was the last Air Jordan shoe that MJ wore before retiring the first time. However, Jordan Brand retroed this sneaker last year on December 22nd, 2008. Where does the Air Jordan 8 Black/Varsity Red-White “Playoffs†rank in our best sneakers seen on Kicks On Court this year? Is it neck and neck with Josh Howard’s Air Jordan 8 PE? Mike Bibby, Johnson’s backcourt teammate, also turned a few heads this past weekend. Similar to D.J. Augustin last week, Bibby sported two different Jordan sneakers in one game. In the first half, Bibby hooped in the ever-so-present Jordan 6 Rings PE. Later on in the game, he dug into his locker and laced up the Air Jordan 2.5 Low for the second half. We can always count on Bibby to hoop in Lows! Click the jump to view more kicks worn by Ray Allen, LeBron James, Allen Iverson, Michael Finley, Kevin Durant, Gerald Wallace and others. |

I didn’t see Jp’s comment till now but I agree with you those are the Playoff 8’s!
Dec 15, 2008 at 11:47 am
The 8’s look just like the ones that came out this year.In fact I honestly think they are,the colorway is the same. Down to even the little blue mark you see coming up from the sole. U can see it in the first pic, bottom left of the sneaker. PE’s I think not, the only dope sneaker here was the XX3 that Chris was wearing that we have seen a million times!
