The NBA season officially re-starts tomorrow as fans and players alike have been waiting for months. New signature shoes from the league’s top players will grace the hardwood. Giannis Antetokounmpo recently debuted his second signature model, the Nike Zoom Freak 2. After Nike and King James garnered much success out of the Lebron XVII, the 18th signature model was seen on James’ feet this past week for the fist time. A total of three colorways of the Lebron XVIII have been seen so far throughout numerous social media platforms.

With this being the last week before the 2019-20’s season reboot in the bubble, players are starting to really show out with their on-court footwear. Nike Kobe 5 Protros seem to be THE shoe of 2020, with Nike making too many player exclusive editions to even count. P.J. Tucker once again sported a P.E. that no one at the bubble is guaranteed to have. For Part 2 of our #BubbleKicks we simply compiled the best 20 sneakers since we made our first list. These kicks are in no particular order. Scroll through to see which P.E.’s you wish Nike would release to the public as well as new signature models making their first public appearances.

Air Jordan 34 PE Week Featuring Zion Williamson & Jayson Tatum

Air Jordan 34 PE Week Featuring Zion Williamson & Jayson Tatum

Featured

by | Jul 29, 2020 | Featured, Sneakers

 

The Air Jordan 34 has been an exceptional silhouette this NBA Season on and off the court. The different PE’s that have been showcased by some of the NBA players throughout the season have been dope. Jordan Brand has a great balance on the roster in age from Chris Paul to Zion Williamson. Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul have signature sneakers that hit retail and do very well. The Jordan 34 is the sneaker of the year for Jordan Brand and they have done great numbers as well. The performance aspect of Jordan 34 has been amazing especially with the new technology and the traction. One thing that has been displayed with the Jordan 34 is the fact that Jordan Brand has been letting the players express themselves through design.

 

Both Zion Williamson and Jayson Tatum have some of the best Jordan 34’s that have graced the court this season and it hasn’t stopped even with them in Orlando. Jordan Brand has blessed both rising stars with player exclusives that have caught the eye of many fans and now Jordan Brand is sharing some of the love with us all. Jordan Brand has already released a pair of exclusive Jordan 34 PEs from Zion Williamson the Bayou Boys which did great in numbers. The Zion inspired Jordan 34 sold out instantly in seconds. This week Jordan Brand will be at it again as they release Jordan 34 PEs for Zion and Tatum. The Jayson Tatum pair dropped exclusively at Concepts in Boston today and will be releasing on the SNKRS app on Friday. Jayson Tatum’s Jordan 34 “Welcome To The Zoo” has a crazy leopard theme with his St.Louis vibes added in there for that pop.

 

Zion’s second Jordan 34 got the inspiration from his brother Noah and comes in a coloring book theme. The Jordan 34 comes with a coloring book as well which adds a deeper element to the sneaker with the details already popping out. Both Jordan 34’s should sell out right away but you have to give a lot of credit to Jordan Brand for even making these available to the public. Jayson Tatum and Zion Williamson have a lot of promise and we should get accustomed to seeing a lot of PE’s from them and even their own shoes in the future.

 

Check out the pictures below to get a good look at the PE’s that Jordan Brand has coming this week. Also, check out some of the PE’s worn by Zion and Jayson throughout the season below.

LeBron James Wears And Nike Debut The Nike LeBron 18

LeBron James Wears And Nike Debut The Nike LeBron 18

LeBron James teased a quick look at his latest signature shoe, the LEBRON 18, during Lakers practice earlier today. While no official announcements about the shoe, a source confirms that it is indeed the next model in James’ signature line.

Finding LeBron in a specific time and place in his career, the shoe’s design is effectively split down the middle from forefoot to heel. According to Jason Petrie, LEBRON footwear designer the shoe’s cushioning distinction is both technical and symbolic.

“At this point, LeBron has spent half his life with Nike,” says Petrie. “We wanted to make him a shoe that played with this idea of two halves. How could we keep improvising on the Max Air value that LeBron loves, but use the forefoot half to sharpen the low-to-the-ground, micro-shifts that LeBron needs to cut and transition down the floor? We’ve gotten near-surgically detailed on these features so that the sum of the shoe’s parts come together for LeBron, and for every kind of player.”

LeBron didn’t debut his new signature shoe in the Lakers’ first scrimmage of the NBA restart like many suspected but he did lace up a minty green colorway for the trip to the gym. Ahead of tip-off against the Mavericks.

This public outing gave us our best look at the model since it was first spotted on James’ feet during practice yesterday and officially previewed by Nike earlier today. Check out below:

Following last year’s collaborative colorway, Manila-based basketball concept store TITAN is now set to release a special Nike LeBron 17 Low “Agimat.”

Breaking from its predecessors in color, this shoe is flooded in red and features an all-over graphic on the upper emblazoned with logos and symbols that represent moments in Titan’s 10-year history.

The tongue has a special crest that features a globe mounted on James’ iconic crown logo, Titan’s lightning bolt logo and the words “Para Sa Kadakilaan,” which translate to “Strive For Greatness.”

Additionally, a mosaic of symbols representing Titan’s storied decade in the game serves as a sturdy platform as the shop looks towards another ten years of dominance.

Since 2010, Titan has been a bastion of basketball culture in the Philippines. It’s a pivotal hub for sneaker fandom, the love for basketball culminated in a pinnacle partnership with Nike and the LeBron signature series in 2019 with the LeBron 16 Low “Agimat.”

“LeBron has always had a deep connection with Filipinos, as we all share his unique love for the game,” says Nikko Ramos, Titan’s Brand Connections Director. “This shoe’s design and storytelling is a true testament to the partnership.”

The Nike LeBron 17 Low “Titan” will officially release at TITAN’s retail locations and webstore on August 1st, then hit Nike’s Park Fort location in the Philippines on August 8th for $160; see the official photos below:
