Kobe Bryant‘s first official Three Stripes signature is retroing for the first time next week, but it is already shining bright on the NCAA hardwood, as Baylor laced up the adidas Crazy 1 “Sunshine” in a tough win over Northwestern State. As one of adidas’ premier schools, Baylor has been the proving ground for many of the brand’s new products. Continuing the tradition, the Bears laced up the vivid KBs before their release date, along with some off-color style codes. Waco wasn’t the only city to see unreleased sneakers this week, as UConn’s Shabazz Napier re-laced the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma Blue”. Also fighting for the top spot was ETSU’s Jalen Riley, seen sporting a rare original Jordan, and Delaware’s Devon Saddley, who celebrated Christmas a little early.
A wide array of Air Jordan, Nike, and adidas models were spotted around the country on the college basketball landscape, making for what may have been the best week of the year so far. Tell us who you think had the best showing in the comment section at the bottom of the page, and keep shining on Nice Kicks for College Kicks On Court all season.
