Just like every NBA season, no games are played on New Year’s Day. However, on December 31st, 2008, our Kicks On Court spotted a player starting 2009 off with a few fireworks…literally.
Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors forward Marco Belinelli hooped in a pair of Air Jordan 3 “Black Cats”. If you recall, this sneaker was the second pair of Jordan’s to receive the “Black Cat” treatment (the Air Jordan 4 was the first in 2006) Although Marco Belinelli is not a Jordan Brand member, he is the first to be spotted in a pair of Air Jordan 3’s this season. On another note, our Kicks On Court spotted Los Angeles Clippers guard Fred Jones hooping in a never-before-seen colorway of the Air Jordan 2.5. During the preseason, we could not get through a Kicks On Court without seeing at least one JB member sporting the Air Jordan 2.5! What do you think about this particular colorway? Click the jump to view more kicks worn by Carmelo Anthony, Baron Davis, Dwight Howard, Vince Carter and others. |
