The 2021 NBA Playoffs are officially here. Players are breaking out new colorways of their respective signature sneakers and even making their signature sneaker debut. The Atlanta Hawks budding young superstar, Trae Young, debuted the Adidas Trae Young 1 in a thrilling 2-point win over the New York Knicks on Sunday night. Young joins fellow Three Stripes signature athletes Derrick Rose, Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, and James Harden. Look for his Trae Young 1 to hit retailers sometime later in 2021. LeBron James turned back the clock in his play-in game against the Warriors and rocked some exclusive LeBron 15’s. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving each sported a new colorway on their latest silhouette inspired by an earlier model in the other player’s signature line. This also may be the last time we see new Kobe Protros worn by NBA players so make sure you savor each one you see. Scroll below to see who made up our Week 1 list of Kicks Through the Lens for the 2021 NBA Playoffs.
