In case you missed it, we revealed the 10 Kicks On Court<\/em><\/a> Champion nominees of the first half of the season in our Kicks On Court Weekly Recap<\/em> episode this past Friday. Remember, the five categories we judge by are Element of Surprise<\/strong>, Variety<\/strong>, iDs\/PEs<\/strong>, Closet Appeal<\/strong> and Debuts<\/strong><\/em>. With the second half of the season tonight, we’re introducing the sixth category, Head-To-Head Matchups<\/em><\/strong>, which involves you guys. In addition to the previously mentioned five categories, the Kicks On Court Champion nominees will now be judged on what they wear against fellow nominees during their respective games. The following day, we’ll have a voting poll for you guys to choose which player rocked the hottest shoe in the head-to-head matchup.<\/p>\n

Here’s an example – tomorrow night, Minnesota plays host to Philadelphia, therefore, we will see a Head-to-Head Matchup<\/em> between two of the top nominees, Derrick Williams and Nick Young. The following morning, you guys will be able to choose who wore the better shoe, and that nominee will gain points for that particular battle.<\/p>\n
