Rutgers<\/strong> made its debut in the new American Athletic Conference<\/em> this week with a win over Temple. Although the Scarlet Knights have struggled out of the gate, now only at .500, the team’s roster has been one of the best in the country when it comes to sneakers. Recently earning one of the best grades in our College Kicks On Court First Semester\u2019s Top 10 Teams, Rutgers has laced up a wide variety of footwear so far this season. From Retro Air Jordans<\/strong>, to NIKEiDs<\/strong>, to retro Nike Basketball<\/strong> models, the Scarlet Knights have kept the floor hot all season and continued their momentum in their first AAC victory. Rutgers may have had the best showing across the board, but there was an array of other sneaker sightings this week around the entire country.<\/p>\n
