What NBA players have been wearing in the tunnel prior to the game has garnered just as much attention in recent years as their on-court sneakers.
Week in and week out, players across the association are seen lacing up styles ranging from coveted collaborations between Off-White x Nike to Travis Scott's Air Jordans to friends-and-family exclusives coming through the tunnels. LeBron James and P.J. Tucker are typically names that readers would find on a list like this but there are also a handful of players that usually fly under the radar that's deserving of the recognition as well. This week, the world continues to mourn the tragic death of Kobe Bryant with select players paying respect by wearing some of the models from his Nike signature line prior to games. Other honorable mentions include the Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 and Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low.
