With the first month of the 2014-2015 NBA season now behind us, we take a broad look at the Kicks On Court Champion race and the highlights we’ve witnessed so far.
10. LaMarcus Aldridge
Aldridge’s Kicks On Court Index so far: “Playoff” Air Jordan 11, “Concord” Air Jordan 11, “He Got Game” Air Jordan 13, “Barons” Air Jordan 13, Air Jordan 13 Black/Gym Red
One of the biggest surprises of the new season has been LaMarcus Aldridge’s choice of footwear. Upon signing with Jordan Brand right before the season kicked off, we expected to see the All-Star power forward in the brand’s newest performance models, such as the Jordan Super.Fly 3, the Air Jordan XX9 or the Jordan Prime.Fly Tech. Instead, Aldridge has consistently laced up beloved retros.
9. Nate Robinson
Robinson’s Kicks On Court Index so far: “Miro” Air Jordan 7, “Gamma Blue” Air Jordan 12, “Taxi” Air Jordan 12, “Rising Sun” Air Jordan 12, “Playoff” Air Jordan 13, “Obsidian” Air Jordan 12
You can count on Nate Robinson to wear the “Playoff” Air Jordan 13 and the “Rising Sun” Air Jordan 12 each season no matter which roster he’s on. Yet, he has also mixed in other well-received retros, such as the “Miro” Air Jordan 7, so far this season.
8. J.R. Smith
Smith’s Kicks On Court Index so far: “Easy Money” Nike KD7, “Legacy” Nike Kobe 9 Elite, “Peach Cream” Nike Kobe 9 EM, “Knicks” Nike Air Foamposite One, Nike Hyperdunk 2014 iD (in honor of his late grandfather), “On the Road” Nike KD7
J.R. Smith is one of the most consistent Kicks On Court guys in the NBA. He’s also big into variety, as he has worn gems from the signature lines of Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Penny Hardaway.
7. Terrence Ross
Ross’ Kicks On Court Index so far: “Elephant Print” Nike Air Foamposite Pro, Nike Zoom KD IV iD, Nike Sonic Flight (2), “Playoff” Air Jordan 8, “Toro Bravo” Air Jordan 4, “Victory” Nike Kobe 9 Elite, “Gold” Nike Kobe 9 Elite, Air Jordan 5Lab3
Terrence Ross has worn a nice variety of Kobes, KDs, Jordans and Pennys so far this season. Look for him to bring out more of a variety as the season unfolds.
6. Markieff Morris
Morris’ Kicks On Court Index so far: “Laser Crimson” Nike Air Foamposite Pro PRM, All-White Nike Air Foamposite One, “Black Suede” Nike Air Foamposite One, “Suns” Nike Air Foamposite One, Pink Nike Air Foamposite One, “Metallic Pewter” Nike Air Foamposite One, “Gem Green” Nike Air Foamposite Pro, Nike Air Foamposite One Black/White
Markieff Morris has only worn Foams this season, and it has been impressive. In detail, Morris has laced up eight different Foams in 16 games.
