However, which kicks opened your eyes the most?<\/p>\n<p>Whether it was your favorite player&#8217;s PEs or an exclusive team colorway of an original shoe, our KOC spotted a very interesting array of sneakers. With that said, we have compiled a Top 10 list of shoes worn throughout the preseason just in time for the regular season. Click the jump to view our countdown of the best shoes worn this preseason.<\/p>\n<p>Let the games begin!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#10 &#8211; Starbury<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Before you hit us with your WTF&#8217;s and UGLY&#8217;s hear us out.?? Yes&#8230;the caliber and performance of this shoe do receive a low rating, but we cannot hide the fact that they look very nice with his New York Knicks jersey. Don&#8217;t let the star in his head sway you differently. They&#8217;re ok at best, but give Marbury just a little shine&#8230;no? Ok&#8230;next page then.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#9 &#8211; Air Jordan 2.5<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The <strong>Air Jordan 2.5 <\/strong>does not look like you r everyday basketball sneaker but it looks very nice depending on the colorway. Worn by Richard Hamilton, Ray Allen, and Chris Paul in the preseaon, this sneaker appeared as one of the Jordan Team members favorite.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#8 &#8211; Adidas TS Creator<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This sneaker gave the Hyperdunk a run for its money, as far as appearances. Everywhere we saw a Hyperdunk the <strong>Adidas TS Creator<\/strong> was not too far behind. While its not quite the Hyperdunk, it seems to be a very player-friendly shoe for the guards.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#7 &#8211; Nike Air Blue Chip<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Two words&#8230;Kevin Durant. The <strong>Nike Blue Chip<\/strong> is very nice shoe, but the Durant PEs was arguably a top 5 shoe in the Preseaon by itself. Others players seen hooping in this shoe were Tony Parker, Rudy Gay, and Brandon Roy. Expect to see Roy in these tonight against the LA Lakers.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#6 &#8211; Josh Howard Air Jordan 8 PE<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Possibly the best PE colorway of any retro Jordan in the preseason, it would be nice to see these make it to HOH.?? Howard should be looking forward to the summer ending though &#8211; a string of some off court incidents will probably be keeping him out of consideration for Team USA as well as singing the national anthem at their home opener.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#5 &#8211; Reebok Omni Hexride<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Allen Iverson PE propelled the <strong>Reebok Omni Hexride<\/strong> to a spot on our list by itself. While this sneaker was not seen as much as the others, it still made its presence felt in some of the nicest colorways. Expect to see many other player exclusives as the season continues.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#4 &#8211; Air Jordan 2 PE<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Over the years, the Air Jordan 2 has been one of the least talked about of all the Air Jordans; however, many of you were delighted to see Ray Allen and Mike Bibby wearing some of these in very nice colorways.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#3 &#8211; Adidas TS Commander<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The<strong> TS Commander<\/strong> was the other half of Adidas&#8217;s two-headed monster (Adidas TS Creator) that was seen many times in the Preseason. Mainly for the forwards and centers, Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett were spotted in some very nice colorways. If you recall &#8216;KG&#8217; hooped in a special championship exclusive for the NBA Finals this past year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#2 &#8211; Jordan Jumpman Team Pro<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With all the PEs the Jordan Brand members have in the closet why are they wearing these? With that said,?? the <strong>Air Jordan Jumpman Team Pro <\/strong>must be a very comfortable sneaker considering almost every Jordan Brand member was spotted in them at least once this preseason. This shoe receives our nod for the number 2 spot because we have seen some of the nicest team colorways throughout the NBA preseason, namely the Gerald Wallace PEs (shown above). Others that have worn this sneaker include D.J. Augustin, Chris Paul, and Quentin Richardson.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#1 &#8211; Nike Hyperdunk<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As much as we have seen this sneaker over the past month can you really argue with this pick??? The Nike Hyperdunk has not only been seen in every game, but it&#8217;s been seen on multiple players on each team every game. Even Kobe had to step out of his signature shoe line to hoop in these just once for the preseason! The Nike Hyperdunk is currently taking over the basketball world and continues to receive rave reviews from players that wear them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Honorable Mentions:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Lebron Soldier II &#8211; Yes, believe it or not, we did leave this shoe off the top 10.?? This shoe never caught our eye nearly as much as the rest of the pack of mostly Team shoes done up in incredible colorups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Reebok Talkin Krazy &#8211; Consider this to be the only shoe you can use in the timeout as a drawing board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Air Jordan Esterno &#8211; Overall a nice Jordan shoe, but over the Jumpman Pro, Jordan 2, and 2.5&#8230;.no chance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nike Power Max &#8211; Very nice basketball shoe but it had no chance beating out the rest of the competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have been catching our Kicks On Court (KOC) series every morning, you have seen some very nice player&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[835],"tags":[],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kicks On Court: Top 10 Sneakers Worn In The Preseason | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Kicks On Court: Top 10 Sneakers Worn In The Preseason shoes.
