With four makeups of the Air Jordan XX8 worn by and designed for Russell Westbrook set to release next month, the PE craze is crossing over to the retail realm in a bigger way than ever. With a focus on the best exclusives worn this season in <a title=\"Kicks On Court\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/tag\/kicks-on-court\/\"><em>Kicks On Court<\/em><\/a>, we call for fifteen more PEs we\u2019d like to see release.<\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 3 Russell Westbrook PE<\/h2>\n<p>Much like Kobe Bryant years before, Russell Westbrook surprised sneakerheads by breaking out a team themed colorway of the <strong>Air Jordan 3<\/strong>. Rocked in a road game, this pair sported a black upper with OKC accents on the tongue, lining, eyelets, and outsole.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike LeBron X &#8220;Suede&#8221; PEs<\/h2>\n<p>LeBron James brought suede to the hardwood in two prestigious <strong>Nike LeBron X PEs<\/strong>. While we\u2019ve seen \u201cCork\u201d come up on the LeBron X, a suede take is yet to release or be officially announced.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Reebok Kamikaze II Isaiah Thomas PE<\/h2>\n image via <a title=\"Zimbio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zimbio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zimbio<\/a>\n<p>Kings colors were a winning combination on the <strong>Reebok Kamikaze II<\/strong> PE for Isaiah Thomas. A white base made room for black and silver accents, with a purple splattered panel stealing the show.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air Max Hyperposite &#8220;Atomic Green&#8221; Rajon Rondo PE<\/h2>\n<p>Once the backer of the Hypefuse, Rajon Rondo proved he was heavy in the Foamposite game this year. This \u201cAtomic Green\u201d <strong>Nike Air Max Hyperposite<\/strong> PE was one of Rajon\u2019s many standout sneakers, sporting a bright base, tongue tagging, and icy outsole.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>adidas Real Deal Iman Shumpert PE<\/h2>\n<p>To the delight of many, Packer Shoes teamed up with Iman Shumpert and adidas to release his well-liked Top Ten 2000 PE this year. We hope that his <strong>adidas Real Deal<\/strong> &#8220;Knicks&#8221; exclusive take the same trajectory.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan XX8 Ray Allen PEs<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike the majority of this list, Ray Allen has actually seen a couple player exclusives release. Any of these <strong>Air Jordan XX8s<\/strong> made exclusively for Sugar Ray would be a pleasant treat at the retail level.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air Max Hyperposite Chris Bosh PE<\/h2>\n<p>The Heat\u2019s accent tone of yellow rarely gets the call on many of the signature sneakers worn by their stars. Chris Bosh got the third hue some shine in Madison Square Garden by breaking out a nice <strong>Nike Air Max Hyperposite<\/strong> PE.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan XVIII\/XX Ray Allen &#8220;Christmas&#8221; PEs<\/h2>\n<p>For Christmas, Jordan Brand gifted Ray Allen with two festive takes on seldom seen models. The <strong>Air Jordan XVIII<\/strong> and <strong>Air Jordan XX<\/strong> took on red and green colorways that would make for awesome releases this holiday season.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Under Armour Spine Bionic DeAndre Jordan PE<\/h2>\n<p>While the simple colorway and performance build on DeAndre Jordan\u2019s <strong>Under Armour Spine Bionic<\/strong> PE may not garner the intrigue of other exclusives, nostalgia makes these important. Worn by Jordan in the dunk of the year, these sneakers are legendary for their accolades rather than their color blocking.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air Max Hyperposite Rajon Rondo &#8220;Christmas&#8221; PE<\/h2>\n<p>While recent Christmas kicks have elected bold color blocking, Rajon Rondo\u2019s <strong>Nike Air Max Hyperposite<\/strong> PE was subtle but sweet. A cool grey base hosted minty green and bright red tones in fresh fashion. We hope these officially drop.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Reebok Kamikaze II Willie Green PE<\/h2>\n<p>LA PEs are usually synonymous with Kobe, Blake, and CP3. Willie Green added his name to the mix with a patriotic take on the <strong>Reebok Kamikaze II<\/strong>. Would you prefer this pair to the other colorways that released?<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike LeBron X &#8220;Platinum&#8221; PE<\/h2>\n<p>For his return to Cleveland, LeBron James surprised everyone by rocking the \u201cFairfax\u201d colorway of the LeBron VI. We hope to see that model retro, but until then we\u2019re hoping Nike puts out this flashy take on the <strong>LeBron X<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Li-Ning Way of Wade Blue All-Star PE<\/h2>\n<p>In general, we\u2019d just like to see the <strong>Li-Ning Way of Wade<\/strong> launch in the US. While we saw D Wade rock a host of PEs on and off the court this season, this blue All-Star makeup would be a welcome release.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air Max Hyperposite LaMarcus Aldridge &#8220;Christmas&#8221; PE<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Nike Air Max Hyperposite<\/strong> saw success in stores in both \u201cStatue of Liberty\u201d and \u201cTiger Camo\u201d colorways. We think this LaMarcus Aldridge exclusive from the All-Star Game could have sold well, too.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 16 Ray Allen PE<\/h2>\n<p>Ray Allen wore the original <strong>Air Jordan XVIs<\/strong> as a rising star on the Milwaukee Bucks. Now a vet on the Miami Heat, the longtime Jordan Brand repper is getting PEs before we\u2019re even getting retros.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h2>Air Jordan 3 Russell Westbrook PE<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Reebok Kamikaze II Willie Green PE<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Hyperposite Rajon Rondo &#8216;Atomic Green&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Reebok Kamikaze II Isaiah Thomas PE<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air Max Hyperposite Chris Bosh PE<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan XX8 Ray Allen PE<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Ray Allen Christmas PEs<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Rajon Rondo Nike Air Max Hyperposite Christmas PE<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike LeBron X &#8220;Platinum&#8221; PE<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>LeBron James suede LeBron X (both pair)<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 16 Ray Allen PE<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Li-Ning Way of Wade Lime Green PE<\/h2>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>LaMarcus Aldridge All-Star Hyperposite PE<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"author":2415,"featured_media":296608,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[618,835],"tags":[1225551,225],"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) -
