#KickGame: A closer look at the All-Star Game Sneakers
It may not have been as exciting as last year’s game, but there were a lot of memorable moments from this year’s All-Star Game. Team LeBron scorched hot in the second half as they rallied back to win the game, 178-164. While we did enjoy the high-scoring game, there were a lot of things that we took notice from today’s game:
14: Players wore sneakers from Nike Basketball, 6 of which wore the Nike team shoe, the Nike Hyperdunk X and Hyperdunk X Low
7: Brands that were present during this year’s All-Star Game: Nike, Jordan Brand, adidas, New Balance, Under Armour, Li-Ning and Anta
1: Kawhi Leonard unveiled New Balance’s latest basketball shoe, the OMN1S ‘Best Kept Secret’
0: numbers of players from this season’s surprise brand, PUMA (they did have representation during the Rising Stars Challenge and All-Star Saturday Night – Marvin Bagley, DeAndre Ayton, Danny Green)
