The Sacramento Kings are raising eyebrows in the West.
After a hot start, the Kings and their young core are showing the rest of the league that the future starts now for the franchise. At the center of it all is the #5 pick from the 2017 NBA draft, De’Aaron Fox. Proud alumni from Kentucky, the BBN product proves that he can play alongside some of the league’s best.
In our latest Kicks On Court Spotlight, we want to shine a light on the Kings’ point guard. While both Fox and this season are young, what we’ve seen so far shows a promising future for both his stat-lines and sneaker rotation.
Nike Kobe 9 KRM EXT “Red Mamba”
+ Inspired by the red viper as well as the Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Red October” as they both dropped in 2014
+ The midsole features a chrome panel instead of the standard carbon fiber that came on the regular Nike Kobe 9 Elites
Air Jordan XX8 “Locked & Loaded”
+ The Air Jordan XX8 was worn and promoted heavily through Russell Westbrook when it dropped in 2012
+ The “Locked & Loaded” colorway was inspired by Ray Allen’s cold-blooded three-pointer in the final moments of Game 6 of the 2013 Finals
Nike Kobe 9 Elite High “What The”
+ The Nike Kobe 9 Elite was created though Flyknit, Flywire and Lunarlon
+ The lining inside the shoe features patterns from the previous nine Nike Kobe models
Air Jordan XX8 “Do The Right Thing”
+ Brought out ANOTHER pair of the Air Jordan XX8s in a colorway we even forgot about
+ Became the youngest player to record stat-one of 31 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds
Nike Kobe 10 Elite “What The”
+ The Nike Kobe 10’s upper is entirely constructed through Flyknit technology
+ De’Aaron Fox dropped 20 points and 4 dimes in these gems against the Toronto Raptors
Air Jordan XX8 “Electric Green”
+ If you couldn’t tell by now, Fox is a huge fan of high-tops (especially the AJ XX8)
+ Fox recorded yet another double-double with 23 points and 10 assists against the Grizzlies
