With the first round of this year's NCAA March Madness Tournament in the books we took the opportunity to highlight the 20 best sneakers worn throughout the Round of 64. While we seen a few unexpected victories by teams like Harvard, Florida Gulf Coast University, and La Salle University, we also see many of the on-court sneaker selections we did expect in Georgetown's Air Jordan XX8 PEs, Duke's array of Nike LeBron X iDs, and UNLV's donning of classic black/varsity red Jordan Brand models. To see the sneakers we highlighted check out The 20 Best Sneakers in The Round of 64.
