After two months of the 2014-2015 NBA season, we take an overall look at the Kicks On Court Champion<\/strong> race and the highlights we’ve witnessed in Month 2.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tony Wroten recently returned to the court after missing most of Month 2 with a sprained right knee. Therefore, he hasn’t dominated our Kicks On Court headlines as he did during Month 1. Since his return, Wroten has worn the “Black Suede” Nike Air Foamposite One through two games.<\/p>\n

6. J.R. Smith<\/h3>\n

Smith’s Kicks On Court Index so far<\/strong>: “Easy Money” Nike KD7, “Legacy” Nike Kobe 9 Elite, “Peach Cream” Nike Kobe 9 EM, “Knicks” Nike Air Foamposite One, Nike Hyperdunk 2014 iD (in honor of his late grandfather), “On the Road” Nike KD7, Nike Kobe 9 Elite iD (4)<\/p>\n

3. LeBron James<\/h3>\n

James’ Kicks On Court Index so far<\/strong>: 13 Nike LeBron 12 PEs, “Heart of a Lion” Nike LeBron 12, “Data” Nike LeBron 12<\/p>\n

LeBron James has clearly worn more colorways of his signature shoe than any other signature athlete in the game today. In detail, he finally wore another general release pair in the form of the “Data” Nike LeBron 12 and laced up six more PE versions of the 12th signature shoe during Month 2.<\/p>\n\n

2.\u00a0Nick Young<\/h3>\n

After a hand injury sidelined Nick Young for the majority of the first month, the Lakers guard has propelled himself up to the second spot in the Kicks On Court Champion race. Throughout Month 2, Young has brought a mixture of old and new to the court ranging all the way from the 2001-released “Cool Grey” Air Jordan 11 to a couple of Nike Kobe 9 EM iDs.<\/p>\n

P.J. Tucker is still on top of the Kicks On Court Champion race after such a strong showing in Month 1 and an average showing in Month 2. The gap is now closing with Nick Young in rare form, but the Phoenix Suns forward is still bringing out intriguing footwear, including his recent wears of the Nike What The LeBron 11 and the “Instinct” Nike LeBron 12.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Team Kicks On Court:\u00a0Phoenix Suns<\/h3>\n

The Phoenix Suns replace the Toronto Raptors as this month’s Team Kicks On Court. In addition to Markieff’s Foamposite One run and P.J. Tucker’s impressive rotation, guys like Eric Bledsoe and Marcus Morris have hit the court in sought-after LeBrons throughout Month 2.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Biggest Kicks On Court Surprise:\u00a0Nick Young’s Air Jordan 11 “Cool Grey” (2001)<\/h3>\n
