Before NBA players broke camp for All-Star Weekend, teams around the league got in a few games last week, giving us enough to keep an eye on for the latest set of #SoleWatch Power Rankings.
Another example of a PE almost instantly being made available at retail, Kyrie Irving debuted his Concepts-inspired "Yellow Lobster" Nike Kyrie 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers last Sunday, then House of Hoops released a limited run at select locations later in the week. Though not branded like former teammate LeBron James' #LeBronWatch, Irving's exclusives hitting House of Hoops locations is a trend that could continue throughout the remainder of the season.
With Justin Timberlake's Air Jordans being back in the news, P.J. Tucker went in the vault to bring back the "Legends of the Summer" Air Jordan 3, a friends and family sample produced to coincide with Timberlake and Jay-Z's summer tour in 2013. According to StockX, a pair was sold last Dec. for $10,000.
Read on to find out where Irving, Tucker and more of the NBA's top sneakerheads landed in this week's rankings.
