Criticism / Suggestions » Nike Classic

ÿþBeing a sneaker free agent means you can do Nike Classic just about anything you damn well please. Take John Wall , for example. If he was still an adidas athlete, there's a good chance the majority of the sneaker world would have ignored him and his J Wall 2s. But last night at the NBA All-Star Game, he got everybody talking with his kicks. Prior to the game, he teased that he was going to wear the Nike Kobe 11 Last Emperor on the NBA's Twitter account. That turned out to be a red herring.

ÿþAfter a tense first round that went to the Thunder and a convincing win by the Warriors in the second, the third round of this likely to be seven round match went to OKC in dominating fashion with a 133-105 win. Kevin Durant Nike Classics would lead the way with 33 points and a brand new pair of kicks for all of us to watch over in the form of the Nike KD 9. Wait, what?Photos courtesy of Layne Murdoch, Ronald Martinez and J Pat Carter of Getty Images/NBA, Sarah Nike Classic Shoes Phipps of The Oklahoman and Nike.

A lot of the credit has to go to Nike KD 9, uh& I mean Kevin Durant and the Air Jordan XXX, errr& actually Russell Westbrook. With the OKC big men providing the toughness, rebounding and defense, Durant and Westbrook have been able to score at a high rate especially at home. Durant once again wore the Nike KD 9 Cool Grey Preheat while Russell Westbrook continues to make the Air Jordan XXX look good, no matter how orange it gets.

Irving would rock yet Nike Air Max 360 another Nike Kyrie 2 PE with a gradient midsole and LeBron would strap up by bringing back the Nike LeBron Soldier 10 that he debuted during Game 3. Stephen Curry failed us by not wearing the Under Armour Curry Two Low Chef and opting instead for the Curry Two pair that he's been wearing for much of the Playoffs (how dare he wear what's he comfortable and not eating into the hands of Sneaker Twitter, right?) and much more in this championship night in kicks.

But this time he did so with the Nike Kobe 3 and Nike Kobe 5.As for the rest of the night in kicks, Kyrie Irving debuted yet another Nike Kyrie 2 Finals PE, Klay Thompson wonders when someone will ask him about his ANTA KT 1s (or not) and LeBron James switches back to the Nike LeBron 13 Elite after debuting the Nike LeBron Soldier 10 during Game 3.In a do or die situation against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Steph would lead a team effort and stave Nike Air Yeezy off elimination to force a Game 6 in OKC on Saturday.

Including a familiar gradient pair that he wore last night against Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans.As for the rest of the night in kicks, we've got Elfrid Payton going with some of Kobe's more recent kicks, Davis having the audacity to wear the Nike Air Max Audacity (sorry) and a whole lot of Jordan Super.Fly 4s from the Charlotte Hornets ( called it ).Rondo wasn't the only kicks star on the court, as Paul George double dipped in the Jordan Spizike and Air Jordan 11 Space Jam.
