Kicks On Court: Nash Rocks the ‘Cradle’ in Win Against Wiz
Posted by George Kiel III | Nov 9, 2009
A couple of years ago, a low-cut basketball sneaker would have been the furthest thing from any basketball player’s mind due to the lack of ankle support. However, within the last year, more and more players are welcoming the low-cut, lightweight sneaker (See Kobe IV Craze) as opposed to the traditional mid or high-top sneaker. That said, check out today’s Kicks On Court which showcases the new low-cut Nike basketball sneaker endorsed by Steve Nash. In a win against the Washington Wizards, Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash laced up the newly-designed Nike Cradle Rock. He has been wearing this sneaker since the season began. This particular model also owns a low-cut silhouette and possess a skate-inspired look. If you recall, Steve Nash seems to always place his feet into low-cut basketball sneakers which can be tied to his Soccer inspirations. Click here to view the Nike Cradle Rock plus other kicks worn by Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant and others. |
