Though LeBron James took the #SoleWatch crown last season, not many players measure up to P.J. Tucker in the conversation of being the league's biggest sneakerhead. That may change this year with the emergence of Langston Galloway, a fourth-year guard who even has a separate Instagram page just for sneakers. This week, Galloway turned heads when he broke out a super rare Nike LeBron signature shoe for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The sneaker free agent has the freedom to wear whatever he wants, making his rotation one to keep an eye on all season long.
Overtaking Tucker won't be easy, though. In a game against the Charlotte Hornets this week, the new Houston Rocket laced up two different rare Air Jordan retros—before halftime. Tucker is always one to watch and he's off to his usual start for 2017-18.
See where these two sneaker enthusiasts land on this week's installment of the NBA #SoleWatch Power Rankings.
