NBA Media Day means we’re inching closer and closer to the start of a new season – one that promises a variety of outcomes given the huge shake-up in star alignment among the teams. We’re also getting a look at footwear that may be featured in the upcoming season in the form of new signature and performance basketball shoes like the LeBron 15, Air Jordan XXXII, and adidas Crazy Explosive ’17, but NBA Media Day has historically been a platform for some of the more sneaker-crazed ballers to show off some of their prized kicks. Leading the charge is noted sneakerhead and new Houston Rocket P.J. Tucker, who laced up the Air Jordan 3 “Legends Of The Summer”, and his teammate Bobby Brown, who wore perhaps the most hyped sneaker of 2017 – the OFF WHITE x Air Jordan 1. See below for some of our favorite snaps of NBA Media Day below and check back as we’ll continue to update as more teams have their day in photoshoots and with media.
