ÿþBeing a sneaker free agent means you can do Nike Thea just about anything you damn well please. Take John Wall , for example. If he was still an adidas athlete, there's a good chance the majority of the sneaker world would have ignored him and his J Wall 2s. But last night at the NBA All-Star Game, he got everybody talking with his kicks. Prior to the game, he teased that he was going to wear the Nike Kobe 11 Last Emperor on the NBA's Twitter account. That turned out to be a red herring.

Irving would rock yet another Nike Kyrie 2 PE with a gradient midsole and LeBron would strap up by bringing back the Nike LeBron Soldier 10 that he debuted during Game 3. Stephen Curry failed us by not wearing the Nike Training Under Armour Curry Two Low Chef and opting instead for the Curry Two pair that he's been wearing for much of the Playoffs (how dare he wear what's he comfortable and not eating into the hands of Sneaker Twitter, right?) and much more in Nike Cross Training Shoes this championship night in kicks.

ÿþWith the Cleveland Cavaliers down two games in the NBA Finals heading into Wednesday's Game 3, all eyes were on LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love as the scene shifted from Oakland to the city that can't win at anything. For their part, Nike stepped up their game by pushing their Believe In campaign featuring all of the Nike guys they have under contract. Sure, it's hilarious to see something as dumb as Believe in Dahntay Jones, but believing in LeBron James Nike Flyknit Running Shoes isn't something we need to be told.

Led by LeBron James and the hot-shooting Kyrie Irving, who led the way last night in a Nike Kyrie 2 PE.Wearing a Nike LeBron 13 PE, James would finish with 31 points to give the Cavs another win to get to 7-1. James has been keeping it simple with player exclusives so far this year and this 13 is no exception with a black upper and Cavalier yellow accents and speckles.James would make history in a gum-soled Nike LeBron 13 PE with a black and white upper.

As for the rest of the night in kicks, James Johnson and Marcus Morris brought out some favorite Air Jordan 11s (wait, what Air Jordan 11 isn't a favorite, except maybe the new Air Jordan 11 72-10 that hasn't dropped yet?), Stephen Curry and the Under Armour Curry Two stays unbeaten and John Wall and Dwyane Wade wear red versions of their signature kicks.Last night's kicks saw plenty of repeats and DeMar Nike Shoe Outlet DeRozan once again did the double dip with the Nike Black Mamba Pack.

It felt like more of a moral victory for the All-Star and his fans than an event that should have struck fear in the hearts of other Eastern Conference teams. But now George is on the comeback trail proper with a full training camp and new teammates to get acquainted with (#MONTABALL) and he's bringing an old friend with him in the form of the Kobe 7.When George was still a rising star for the Pacers a few years back, he rocked NIKEiD versions of the Kobe 7.
