Today, we take a look at eight of the most overlooked NBA players in regards to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/tag\/kicks-on-court\/\"><em>Kicks On Court<\/em><\/a> column.<\/p>\n<h2>James Johnson, Toronto Raptors<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Shoe Highlights This Season So Far<\/strong>: Air Jordan XVII, Air Jordan XX, Air Jordan 6 Black\/Infrared<\/p>\n<p>Toronto Raptors forward James Johnson has played for a new team in each of the past four seasons, and at each stop, he has consistently brought out some of the hottest retros; you just never noticed due to his lack of playing time. This year, however, he plays a big role off of the Raptors&#8217; bench, and his increased playing time has warranted him a spot in our Kicks On Court Champion race.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Phil Pressey, Boston Celtics<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Shoe Highlights This Season So Far<\/strong>: Nike Kobe 9 EM iD, &#8220;Dunkman&#8221; Nike LeBron 11 Low, &#8220;Mystic Green&#8221; Nike LeBron 11 Low, &#8220;Easter&#8221; Nike LeBron 11 Low<\/p>\n<p>Phil Pressey is one of the few point guards that finds comfort in the Nike LeBron line more than any other shoe. He has worn a variety of LeBrons this season so far but has mainly stuck with a number of LeBron 11 Low colorways.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Jae Crowder, Boston Celtics<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Shoe Highlights This Season So Far<\/strong>: All-White Nike Kobe 9 EM iD, &#8220;Gamma Blue&#8221; Air Jordan 11, Nike Hyperflight<\/p>\n<p>Despite an early-season trade to the Boston Celtics from the Dallas Mavericks, Jae Crowder has still kept his range of footwear consistent. As a Maverick, he sported the Royal Blue Nike Hyperflight and various shoes from the Penny line. His Boston Celtic days have come complete with the &#8220;Gamma Blue&#8221; Air Jordan 11 and an all-white Nike Kobe 9 EM iD.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Tarik Black, Los Angeles Lakers<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Shoe Highlights This Season So Far<\/strong>: &#8220;Barons&#8221; Air Jordan 13, &#8220;Fire Red&#8221; Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 14 White\/Red, &#8220;Grey Toe&#8221; Air Jordan 13<\/p>\n<p>Lakers forward Tarik Black hasn&#8217;t switched his footwear up much since he got traded to the Purple &amp; Gold, but as a Rocket, Black wore a number of the latest retro Jordans, such as the &#8220;Barons&#8221; Air Jordan 13 and the &#8220;Grey Toe&#8221; Air Jordan 13.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Isaiah Thomas, Phoenix Suns<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Shoe Highlights This Season So Far<\/strong>: Air Jordan 5Lab3, &#8220;Fear&#8221; Air Jordan 3, &#8220;Blackout&#8221; Air Jordan XX9, &#8220;Legend Blue&#8221; Air Jordan 11<\/p>\n<p>If you followed Isaiah Thomas in college at the University of Washington, you&#8217;d know that the minuscule guard is a big-time Kicks On Court guy. Up until this year, he has kept his feet in a number of Reebok PEs but this season, we have spotted him in a ton of Jordan CP exclusives as well as multiple Jordan releases from the past few years.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Thaddeus Young, Minnesota Timberwolves<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Shoe Highlights This Season So Far<\/strong>: Nike Air 3, Nike LeBron 11 Low Black\/Gum, &#8220;China&#8221; Nike LeBron 11 Low<\/p>\n<p>Before this season, Thaddeus Young exclusively wore shoes from the Penny line, but this year he has switched his footwear up more than ever with wears of the classic Nike Air 3 and various LeBrons.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>DeMarre Carroll, Atlanta Hawks<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Shoe Highlights This Season So Far<\/strong>: Nike LeBron 12 iD (4)<\/p>\n<p>With the exception of Eric Bledsoe and LeBron James himself, DeMarre Carroll is responsible for bringing out some of the best Nike LeBrons throughout the past two seasons.
