Much like the beginning of the 2011-2012 NBA season, many of the NBA superstars brought out new, never-before-seen player exclusives in the opening day of the 2012 NBA postseason. Specifically, our Kicks On Court<\/em><\/a> column noticed LeBron James, Derrick Rose and Dwyane Wade in new playoff versions of their signature models, while a couple of the New York Knicks players hit South Beach in new Jordans. We also spotted Kevin Durant hitting a game-winning shot in a fresh colorway of his fourth signature shoe and Quentin Richardson wearing one of last year’s most coveted retro releases. Let us know who brought out the best kicks in day 1 of the NBA Playoffs by voting in the poll below.<\/p>\n
