2022 WNBA All-Star Game “Heat Check” (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Featured

This weekend was all about the WNBA and celebrating the greatness displayed on the court. Both Sylvia Fowles and Sue Bird played in their final WNBA All-Star Game today. Both played minimum minutes today but were celebrated by the whole basketball community as a whole for their contributions to the game. The All-Star Game was very competitive as (Team Wilson beat Team Stewart) 134-112. Team Wilson was led by the All-Star MVP Kelsey Plum who dropped 30 points and was knocking everything down.

 

 

The All-Stars put on a show for the fans and were rocking some dope heat while doing it. The WNBA players usually have a lot of heat to display especially when the NBA season is over. Certain players in the WNBA rock certain NBA players’ sneakers for example (Sue Bird – Nike Kyrie). So when we are missing seeing some of our favorite player’s PEs that’s when the ladies come in to save the day every time. WNBA players have crazy PE heat and regular heat that we wanted to showcase after today’s All-Star Game. Let us know below who had the best sneakers for today and why.

Devin Booker will be gracing the cover of the NBA 2K23 Standard & Deluxe addition. It’s well deserved after the last couple of seasons that DBook has had in the NBA. He’s one of the NBA’s brightest young stars and he has taken that Mamba Mentality and applied it to his game. On the cover, you can see Booker rocking the Kobe 4 PE that he wore all season with the “Be Legendary” on the side from Kobe. Devin Booker has taken that next step and it was about time that 2K noticed it and rewarded him. The Suns just gave Booker an extension so it seems like all the stars were aligning at the right time with this cover.

The WNBA Edition will be featuring two of the most iconic women’s basketball players in the world. We will be getting Sue Bird & Diana Taurasi on the cover as they have been dominating the WNBA/USA Basketball for over 10+ years. This will be the second year the WNBA will be represented with their own cover as last year was Candance Parker. The evolution in the women’s game has been contagious as the NBA2K team continues to honor the greats in women’s basketball. Both Bird & Taurasi have been at the top of their game and have been influential to the game of basketball so this cover was a no-brainer. Sue Bird will be retiring after this season so this was a great way to send the legend off.

U.S. Olympic Men’s & Women’s Basketball Teams (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

U.S. Olympic Men’s & Women’s Basketball Teams (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Featured

by | Jul 4, 2022 | Featured, SneakerReporter Top 10 PE Series

With the 4th of July holiday falling on a Monday, it was only fitting to represent our country. This week we will be showcasing some of the player exclusives worn in the Olympics in Tokoyo last summer. Kevin Durant led the USA as he was able to put on a show throughout the whole tournament. It was clear as day that the world wasn’t prepared for the smoke KD was coming with as he averaged 20.7 PPG in only 27.5 mins per game. Kevin Durant was on a mission and made sure that the US was leaving with the gold.

 

 

On the Women’s side of things, A’ja Wilson and Brittany Griner both averaged 16.5 PPG to lead them to gold. Both Wilson and Griner were dominant and were able to put their stamp on every game on both ends of the floor. The US women collectively like the men’s team just have too much talent for the world and the US was unstoppable. It was clear that the US women have a lot of talent as the roster was sorta the passing of the torch. From Sue Bird/Diana Taurasi to A’ja Wilson this team had firepower and experience.

 

 

There was a lot of Nike Basketball/Jordan Brand heat on both USA Basketball Teams last year. We will be breaking down the Top 10 PEs from the Olympics. I wish some of the player exclusives actually came out for the public but we all know Nike/Jordan like to take care of their athletes. Let me know if you agree with my Top 10 PE list and which is your favorite out of all the PEs.

Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana Pacers (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana Pacers (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Featured

by | Jun 27, 2022 | Featured, NBA, SneakerReporter Top 10 PE Series

Tyrese Haliburton is one of the NBA’s bright young stars. One thing we know about Haliburton is that he’s going to ball but look good doing it as well with his sneaker heat. In shocking fashion, the Kings traded Tyrese to Indiana when nobody saw that coming. You can tell that Haliburton took it personally as he went from averaging 14.3 PPG in Sacramento to 17.5 PPG in Indiana. When you look at Tyrese’s game he has that explosive first step and can get you with his dribble/shot with ease. The Indiana Pacers have their bright star that will be leading them into the future.

Haliburton had a career-high 38 points this year against Philly and the sky’s the limit for his growth. You can tell that he’s a true winner and wants to continue to get better on a daily. The Pacers are allowing him to showcase his talent and he’s in the Eastern Conference where they were close to making the playoffs. Tyrese Haliburton will be a future all-star and a player that can take the league by storm when given the keys to the team. Look for Haliburton to continue to grow his game this season and I wouldn’t put it past him to be a 20-point scorer per game.

 

 

Tyrese Haliburton signed with Nike during his rookie season and hasn’t looked back. This man has nothing but HEAT in his rotation and he’s been able to break out some PEs and exclusive Nike Basketball sneakers that we haven’t seen in a while. This year Tyrese broke out a lot of custom sneakers that were made by (@Andr3wtl & @kingscustom.s) instead of actual PEs. So for this week’s Top 10 PE list, I wanted to showcase some of the dope customs he rocked on the court.

 

 

10. Nike PG 4 “Jimmy Neutron” Custom – Tyrese Haliburton

 

 

 

 

9. Nike Kyrie Low 4 “Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil ” Custom – Tyrese Haliburton

 

 

 

 

8. Nike Kobe A.D. “Elf” Custom – Tyrese Haliburton

6. Nike Kyrie Low 4 “The Mystery Machine” Custom – Tyrese Haliburton

 

 

 

 

5. Nike Kyrie Low 4 “Static Shock” Custom – Tyrese Haliburton
