Hate it or love it, the underdogs are on top. The San Antonio Spurs<\/strong> upset the back-to-back champs from Florida, taking the title in only five games. While the franchise has a long history of winning, especially over the last fifteen years, the team’s more associated with fundamental play than flashy footwear. While that’s mostly true, there are a host of stars that wore the black and silver along with noteworthy kicks. Take a look at twelve of our favorite Spurs that sported heat on their feet.<\/p>\n

Duration:<\/strong> 1989-2003
\nBest Kicks:<\/strong> Nike Air Unlimited, Nike Air Force 180 High, Nike Air Command Force, Nike Total Air Foamposite Max, Nike Air Total Max Uptempo<\/p>\n

David Robinson had kicks, commercials and he even had kick commercials. Yes, Mr. Robinson served as one of the original spokesmen for the Nike Force Camp, fresh off serving our country as a member of the US Navy. The Admiral had an admirable career and a shoe resume to match. Nostalgic high tops that still seek the retro treatment, such as the Nike Air Unlimited, can thank D-Rob for their favor.<\/p>\n

Kawhi Leonard<\/h2>\n

Duration:<\/strong> 2011-Present
\nBest Kicks:<\/strong> Nike Air Max2 CB 94, Air Jordan 14 “Light Graphite”, Air Jordan 5 “Wolf Grey”, Nike Air Force Max 2013, Air Jordan 12 Low, Air Jordan 3 Retro ’88, Air Jordan XX8 SE<\/p>\n

Kawhi Leonard helped put San Diego State on the map for college hoops and sneaker heat during his amateur era. As a pro, his shoe selection hasn\u2019t slacked, getting buckets in recent retros like the Air Jordan 3 Retro ’88 and vault finds like the Nike Air Max2 CB 94. Prolific play even made Kawhi an official member of the Jordan Brand roster this season.<\/p>\n

\nBest Kicks:<\/strong> Nike Air Zoom Flight 95<\/p>\n

Bruce Bowen\u2019s bruising defense might not have won over a lot of opposing fans, but it did help San Antonio score some trophies. The lockdown swingman put in work in a retro favorite before it was popular, rocking the Nike Air Zoom Flight 95 in the classic carbon colorway.<\/p>\n

\nBest Kicks:<\/strong> Nike Air Zoom Flight The Glove, Nike Air Sonic Flight<\/p>\n

Hot hand, cold kicks, the sharpshooting Danny Green has channeled a lockdown defender with his footwear as of late. Paying tribute to Gary Payton, DG got it done in 2014 wearing the OG colorway of The Gloves and the sped up hybrids know as the Sonic Flight.
