The 2019 NBA Finals are officially underway as the Toronto Raptors make their first ever appearance in 24-years of existence. Although KD is still out, the series opener had all of the intensity we anticipated as the Raptors took Game 1 with a score of 118-109.

Additionally, the WNBA is only a few games in, but the W is bringing all kind of heat as PEs and collection-worthy pairs have hit the hardwood with only a handful of games in.

Take a look at the best kicks we’ve seen from the past week. We’re excited to see what more is in store as the W and the Finals keep moving.
