Kicks On Court: Holiday Special - December 26th, 2008
Posted by George Kiel III | Dec 26, 2008|
For many years now, Christmas Day has always brought us some memorable basketball games. Similar to Thanksgiving and football, we can always count on the NBA to entertain us during the holidays. If you watched yesterday’s NBA coverage, you saw some great games, namely the Boston Vs LA match; however, our Kicks On Court spotted some of your favorite basketball players sporting special holiday season PEs including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. For example, LeBron James sported the 100th colorway (not really) of his latest sneaker called the Nike Zoom LeBron 6 “Chalk”. We also spotted Kobe Bryant hooping in a Christmas edition of the Nike Zoom Kobe 4, yet, he was not the only person in the Staples Center sporting this sneaker. Along with Trevor Ariza, many of the Lakers courtside seats’ fans also had purple colorways of the Nike Zoom Kobe 4. Click the jump to also see Kevin Garnett’s UNDR CRWN Adidas TS Commander, plus other sneakers worn by Ray Allen, Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudemire, Tim Duncan, and others. |

All brands did a great job on the X-mas/Special editions, personal favorites are the, Undrcrwn Commanders, X-mas Commanders/Creators, Timmy D’s Bounce Commanders, and the Kobe IV’s though.

Dec 27, 2008 at 11:26 am

Dec 27, 2008 at 11:07 am

Dec 27, 2008 at 3:51 am

Dec 27, 2008 at 2:03 am

Dec 27, 2008 at 12:02 am

Dec 26, 2008 at 11:41 pm

Dec 26, 2008 at 11:24 pm
I really hate the kicks KG is wearing but they fit they Christmas theme perfectly
Dec 26, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Those 2.5’s look wack. Not everything JB puts out is fire, get on the TIP.
Dec 26, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Kevin Garnett’s Adidas TS Commander actually don’t look that bad. I guess its because I’m a fan of the colorway…but when a shoe is ugly, I do tell it like it is.
Dec 26, 2008 at 9:43 pm
yes #38 that is true. the cavs jerseys also didnt have the snowflake around the NBA logo because they changed the jerseys…i know its ridiculous
Dec 26, 2008 at 8:49 pm
HEY NICEKICKS……is it true that LeBron made the Wizards play in their white uniforms, so that the Cavs can play in their navy uniforms, just so that LBJ’s kicks would match?
Don’t know if this rumor is true.
Dec 26, 2008 at 8:42 pm

Dec 26, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Da Ray Allen 2.5’s look sick. I was like “what is he wearin’” when I watched da game. Was Rondo playin’ wit his shoes untied da whole game, or was that pre-game? Oh, KG’s shoes look pretty good also.
Dec 26, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Rondo is clownin with the lil santa on his Zooms! Lol
Dec 26, 2008 at 4:04 pm
