Kicks On Court: Holiday Treats

Kicks On Court

Over the past decade and beyond, great NBA matchups have been nothing less than an intricate part of Christmas Day. It is our chance to see some of the best players in the game go head to head. These players undoubtedly bring their best game and they do it in style. With that said, check out today’s Kicks On Court to see a recap of what some of your favorite players were wearing on Christmas Day.

There was quite a few sneakers stories and debuts around the NBA yesterday to say the least. First off, Kobe Bryant and a few of his Lakers teammates unleashed the Nike Zoom Kobe V on the court for the first time this season. Bryant, Derek Fisher, Shannon Brown and Lamar Odom all rocked the Nike Zoom Kobe V “Chaos”, while some of the fans were seen in their own Kobe V colorways. On the contrary, LeBron James debuted the Nike Air Max LeBron VII “Christmas” in a winning effort against the Lakers. Yesterday also brought about the debut of the Air Jordan Alpha 1 on the court. Players such as Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen, Quentin Richardson and Jared Jeffries all wore different colorways of the Air Jordan Alpha 1.

  12. Posted by Element KX at December 26, 2009 at 2:44 pm

    Alpha 1′s are sooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick! Juwan definitely definitely repping the Chi in his. Watching Wade play in the Alpha’s keep sending me back to ’85.
    And how do the XII’s match Nuggets uniforms at all :)

  13. Posted by airjordanjunkie at December 26, 2009 at 2:49 pm

  20. Posted by got beef? at December 26, 2009 at 4:06 pm

  21. Posted by dias at December 26, 2009 at 4:25 pm

    that was a bench player with carmines for the knicks

  22. Posted by cdapache at December 26, 2009 at 5:12 pm

    everyone was hatin on the alpha’s…why the sudden change of heart?!?!?!?!?

  23. Posted by przotherbadguy at December 26, 2009 at 5:45 pm

    alright, since the Knick player with the Carmines did not play, it could’ve been either;
    Eddy Curry, Nate Robinson, Toney Douglas or Jordan Hill.
    i was going crazy trying to see who that guy was.

  24. Posted by przotherbadguy at December 26, 2009 at 5:47 pm

    @Greg Smith
    lay off the PCP

  25. Posted by Nike Champ 718 at December 26, 2009 at 6:16 pm

    Still don’t understand why Jared Jeffries is on Jordan Brand. And that was dope promotion by Nike to give the people who could already afford front row seats at the Staples Center free kicks. Millionaires and their weed carriers need the hookups! GTFOH

  26. Posted by MJSF at December 26, 2009 at 6:53 pm

    Alpha 1′s only look good in the OG cw’s. :)

  27. Posted by quen2hot at December 26, 2009 at 8:59 pm

  28. Posted by ty$on at December 26, 2009 at 9:08 pm

    I saw JR rockin’ the 12′s and went out and got ‘em on boxing day…sick!

  29. Posted by Smart dad at December 26, 2009 at 9:50 pm

    All you guys who spend all this time looking at sneakers?? time to get a life?.. there are girls out there who want to meet you but you?re sitting in front of this darn computer looking at what?.SNEAKERS!!!!! I hope that this note slaps you and wakes you up. All you need is one pair to play hoops?.for a job?.wear shoes not sneakers??come on guys? from your Life Coach?.. adios!!!!

  30. Posted by pootangeatr at December 26, 2009 at 9:51 pm

    The Lebron air max looks like they cook your feet-not alot of breathablity?looks like they r shrink wrapped with a leather toe.And far froma Xmas red*Lipstik red maybe..Plasctic shoes for plastic people..kobes…wrong.Alpha’s….tick.

  31. Posted by fresh23 at December 26, 2009 at 9:51 pm

    the alpha 1s look dope on wade and howard. sick colorways!!!

  32. Posted by 216 at December 26, 2009 at 9:56 pm

    red/white/black 1′s = the dopeness

  33. Posted by OGsince82 at December 26, 2009 at 10:43 pm

    At first I wasnt really feeling the Alpha 1′s. But after seeing the OG colorway that Wade is wearing, it definitely has won me over. The quality of the perforated leather is better than the patent leather version they had a few years back IMO.

  34. Posted by da prince at December 26, 2009 at 10:52 pm

    DB i think nate was wearing the carmines not positive but i am pretty sure……

  35. Posted by da prince at December 26, 2009 at 10:56 pm

    OO yea and apparantly everyone sitting courside at the lakers game got free kobe v’s

  36. Posted by tsizzle at December 26, 2009 at 11:07 pm

    SmartDad “parents just don’t understand”. If I sold my sneaker collection at about half of what they are worth I’d probaly be able to put a down payment on a house. Only right now sneakers are probaly a safer investment. I have plenty of time for the ladies as well. Trust me. I’m more worried about you wasting your time to come and make assumptions about people you don’t know. Since we’re making assumptions shouldn’t you go back to not getting laid by your wife in your boring uneventful life that leads you to come and troll on a sneaker site.

  37. Posted by SC at December 26, 2009 at 11:52 pm

    anyone got a picture of eddy curry with carmines?

  38. Posted by rashad at December 27, 2009 at 12:08 am

    Juwan Howards was wearing the Breds 1s? Wow!
    I like D-Wade’s colorway better. They look nice on him. I like Juwan Howard’s colorway too, but he’s to tall for Js, ain’t he? Plus, when did start wearing Js???

  44. Posted by gotjordans? at December 27, 2009 at 4:08 am

    Kenyon Martin in the Rising Suns 12s, and JR Smith in the White Red 12s= VERY NICE TOO

  45. Posted by ian at December 27, 2009 at 4:25 am

  50. Posted by Nazr at December 27, 2009 at 9:06 pm

    I like how the people in the LA game who had court side seats got the gift from Nike – because those are obviously the people in need of anything free lol

  51. Posted by alldayjaybx at December 27, 2009 at 10:01 pm

    @ Rashad and DB

  58. Posted by przotherbadguy at December 30, 2009 at 6:01 pm

    @ Smart dad
    how did you come across this website if you don’t like sneakers? i think your’re mad because you were actually affected by the downturn of the economy and can no longer afford a mere pair of $200 Jordans.
    p.s. i’m 17 and work at Blimpie’s… i have 87 pairs of sneaks
