Shabazz Napier<\/strong> will likely be an NBA guard in the near future, but he is already acting like one.

Lacing the new Nike Kobe 9 “Masterpiece”<\/strong> for the entire first half, Napier switched out at the break into his trusty\u00a0Air Jordan 11 “Playoffs”<\/strong>. Outside of Shabazz’s swap, many notable sneakers were worn on college campuses around the nation. UMass showed out in a wide variety of colorful adidas sneakers, and recently released Air Jordan retros were also prevalent.<\/p>\n
