James Harden’s one of the best scorers in NBA History. This year in Philly he was able to put on for the city with the help of Joel Embiid. James Harden has one of the best stepback jumpers in NBA History and his euro step is unreal. The way that he creates his own offense is definitely at the top of the game. James Harden averaged 22 PPG, 7.7 RPG, and 10.3 APG with Brooklyn/Philly. It’s crazy how James was able to adapt to any situation thrown at him during this season. James Harden has been a true professional and he’s been the ultimate teammate for Maxey, Embiid, etc. During the offseason, James Harden signed a (2-year/ $68.6M) to stay with the Philadelphia 76ers.

 

Harden showed Philly that he doesn’t mind taking the pay cut to be able to build something special. James Harden’s just missing an NBA Championship on his resume and this year the 76ers feel like this can be a championship season. Harden has elevated his game every season since he’s been in the league and has proven he’s an elite talent. Harden and Embiid can have something special this season if they can get it together during the playoffs.

 

 

James Harden is one of the handfuls of players with a sneaker deal on Adidas. This year he was balling out with the Adidas Harden Vol. 6 when he was in Brooklyn/Philly. You can tell that Adidas wanted to step up their player exclusives for Harden this year and it definitely showed on the court. A lot of the player exclusives he rocked this season would have been crazy if they were released to the public.

Featured

by | Aug 11, 2022 | Featured, NBA, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers

Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler has his very own signature sneaker with the Li-Ning brand coming soon. Butler signed a deal with Li-Ning in 2020 following his Finals appearance against the Los Angeles Lakers.

 

Butler has been one of the most notable players in the league the past couple seasons and has drawn a lot of attention to the Miami Heat. It’s no wonder Li-Ning wanted to give Butler his own signature sneaker since becoming a superstar in the league.

 

While no technology details have been revealed on the JB 1, it is inspired by his love of sports cars and wildlife according to Nick DePaula. One shoe can be seen in a “Miami Vice” themed colorway and the other in a simple orange and black colorway.

 

According to Nick DePaula the JB 1 signature sneaker is expected to release towards the end of August. Stay tuned for release updates.

Zion Williamson, New Orleans Pelicans (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Zion Williamson, New Orleans Pelicans (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Featured

by | Jul 25, 2022 | Featured, NBA, SneakerReporter Top 10 PE Series

Zion Williamson came into the league and took the NBA by storm. He’s shown glimpses of his greatness and what he can do when he’s available to play for the Pelicans. In 24 games during the 2019 season, Zion averaged 22.5 PPG and 6.2 RPG. It was a sample size of what Zion’s capable of doing but it kept the Pelicans fans excited for the future. Everyone was hyped about Zion’s dunking ability and how crazy his hops are when he came out of Duke. Zion showed that he could be a dominant presence in the paint and even showcased his ability to knock down jumpers. Zion put on a show in a limited time frame but it got New Orleans buzzing for the future. In the 2020 season, Zion played in 61 games and averaged 27 PPG/7.2 RPG. Zion showed a lot of promise and continued to take that next step and he was even selected for the NBA All-Star Game.

 

 

 

 

The one issue with Zion has been his availability on the court because he’s been derailed by injuries. Zion’s been banged up with ankle, knee, toe, and hand issues that have had him sidelined. The New Orleans Pelicans played it safe with Zion in the 2021-2022 season as they sat him down for conditioning reasons. Zion Williamson let it be known that New Orleans is where he wants to be and they rewarded him. For Zion’s 22nd birthday the Pelicans gave him a 5yr/$231 Million as they are ready to see Zion/CJ/Ingram in 2022-2023.

 

 

It was a true bidding war to get Zion Williamson to sign a shoe deal when he came into the NBA. It was Jordan Brand that gave him the lucrative bag to represent him on the court. In his 1st two years in the NBA Zion wore the Jordan 34 and Jordan 35 before getting his own sneaker. Jordan Brand gave Zion his own shoe “The Jordan Zion 1” and it was built for his bounce/bulk. Below we showcased some of the best PEs that he rocked on the court during those years and this should get y’all excited for the upcoming season.
