Kicks On Court: 2008-09 NCAA Tournament Recap
Posted by George Kiel III | Mar 30, 2009 The NCAA Tournament has almost come to an end, and due to frustration, many brackets have been shredded into pieces. On a different note, our Kicks On Court approached this year’s tournament in a different way. We kept our eye on the player’s feet this time, therefore, we spotted some exclusive sneakers whether it be PEs, general releases or retros.
With that said, we have compiled a list of some of the best sneakers seen in the 2008-09 NCAA Tournament. Click here to begin viewing our list of players sporting retros, PEs and fairly new exclusives. Let this take a little of the frustration away from your damaged brackets! |
Air Jordan Retros

Hasheem Thabeet in the Air Jordan 7 “Hare” Retro

Kemba Walker in the Air Jordan 11 Retro

Steve Peterson in the Air Jordan 12 Retro

J.T. TillerĀ in the Air Jordan 14 Retro
According to you, our Kicks On Court has spotted better sneakers in the NCAA Tournament than in the NBA 2008-09 season lately. With that said, we spotted many classic Jordan retros that we have not see in the pros yet. Besides the CDP, when was the last time you seen the Air Jordan 7 “Hare” Retro in action? In addition, J.T. Tiller’s Air Jordan 14 “Chartreuse” was a pleasant surprise as well.

Lawson only wore Lebrons in tourney. All year he had been rockin J’s. I think it had to do with the turf toe and the toebox on the Lebron’s giving more room for the brace

Thabeet is 7′3″, how much SMALLER should they be?
Live in the past if you must, but no one in this day and age, will be wearing nut huggers.
Get over it!
