On the Floor
Tuesday’s games were filled with colorful kicks and I have gone through and picked out my top five to share. Nike is the leading brand of the night (Air Jordan is owned and produced by Nike).
Starting at number five is the Miami Heat‘s center, Bam Adebayo. Sporting bright red Air Jordan 39, his team lost 116-107 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Inspired by the Air Jordan 9s these shoes have an old-school look but are engineered for today’s basketball game. This shoe style is sold in white, black, or powder blue.
At number four is Jalen Brunson, point guard for the New York Knicks. Last night against the Brooklyn Nets, Brunson rocked a bright red and green pair of Nike Kobe 6 Protro ‘Reverse Grinch.‘
These shoes give a color-inverted version of the 2010 Zoom Kobe 6 ‘Grinch.‘ The ‘Reverse Grinch’ kicks were released in 2023 by Nike’s creative director Eric Avar.
In third place of the night is Toronto Raptors shooting guard, RJ Barrett. Barrett helped lead his team to victory against the Orlando Magic while wearing Puma All-Pro Nitro in purple and gray.
These kicks use NITROFOAM technology (nitrogen-injected foam) with an engineered mesh for breathability, giving them the ability to perform at the highest level.
Top Two Nikes of the Night
Coming in at number two for the night is Orlando Magic’s power forward, Paolo Banchero. Sporting the A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 39 ‘While You Were Sleeping.’
They are a light violet textile, covered in a jacquard monogram pattern. Released in August 2024, these shoes have a lightweight ZoomX foam midsole, placed within a rubber cupsole that is enhanced with a Zoom Air unit.
Taking first place on Tuesday’s kicks is Wendell Carter Jr. Orlando Magic’s center. Carter wore a pair of Nike Zoom Freak 3 in bright blue.
From Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s Zoom Freak shoe line. The molded midfoot strap and external overlay provide side-to-side stability as well as multi-directional traction to stay in control.
