The Return of the Guard

October 28th, 2014 – Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Lakers (TNT) – Everyone remembers the last free throws Kobe shot before limping off the court in his Nike Kobe 8. Between then and now, we have witnessed the likes of Nick Young, P.J. Tucker, DeMar DeRozan and others lace up the Nike Kobe 9; however, the sight of Kobe himself wearing the shoe has yet to be seen.

October 29th, 2014 – Detroit Pistons vs. Denver Nuggets (NBA League Pass) – Nate Robinson is undoubtedly one of the most exciting players to watch in regards to on-court footwear year in and year out. The minuscule guard, who once wore four different shoes in one game and had the audacity to wear the Nike Air Yeezy 2 on court two seasons ago, was missed when he suffered an ACL injury midway through last season. On the second night of the 2014-2015 NBA season, KryptoNate returns.

October 29th, 2014 – Chicago Bulls vs. New York Knicks – (ESPN) – We’ve been awaiting Derrick Rose’s return for quite some time now. As mentioned earlier, adidas has done an incredible job by keeping the adidas D Rose line relevant through Damian Lillard, but seeing Derrick Rose consistently on the court in his own sneaker is something we’ve been anticipating.
