words & list \/\/ Pierce Simpson:<\/span><\/p>\n

With the Duke Blue Devils<\/strong> competing for yet another National Championship tonight against the Wisconsin Badgers, it seems as though their iconic program continues to ascend to higher heights. With a bevy of professional stars across many leagues, Coach K and the Blue Devils seem poised to continue their excellence for the foreseeable future. However, with tonight’s matchup featuring a variety of sneakerheads such as Quinn Cook and Jahlil Okafor, we thought it’d be best to present the All-Time Five for the Duke Blue Devils.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be honest, the list may shock<\/em> you. However, to see for yourself, flip through the pages below to get a detailed account of the all-time sneaker team for the Duke Blue Devils.<\/span><\/p>\n

Receiving your own signature sneaker significantly shifts the focus in your favor and this couldn’t have been anymore evident than with former Duke guard Kyrie Irving. Only suiting up in a handful full of games for the Blue Devils back during the 2010-2011 campaign, Irving would sport the Nike Zoom Soldier V before becoming the number one pick in the NBA Draft that summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since his inception within the Association, Kyrie has ascended to become one of the elite guards within the game as this season he has provided multiple 50-point performances. In addition, as mentioned previously, Irving debuted his very own signature line with Nike as they unveiled the Nike Kyrie 1.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This next player could very well create a very controversial<\/em>\u00a0“All-Time” Five for the Dukies due to his niche name within the Blue Devil lineage. However, when it comes to kicks, Tyler Thornton is among the elite of former Duke players as he beats the likes of Daniel Ewing and J.J. Redick for the two-guard spot within\u00a0our All-Time 5.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason for the distinct pick?! Well, it’s simple. Thronton rocked a bevy of intriguing models such as various Nike Air Penny silhouettes, many Nike Kobe models and several Air Jordans. Thornton even captured his bevy of kicks within a YouTube video showing off his respective collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If there’s a “Mount Rushmore” of Men’s Duke basketball players, Grant Hill is certainly on that monument.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, not only is Grant Hill one of the greatest players to ever play for Duke, he is also a firm candidate within Duke’s All-Time Five. With his signature Fila line working heavily in his favor, Hill debuted his inaugural model in 1994-95 season as Hill and Fila introduced the Grant Hill 1. Over successive years, Hill and Fila would release four more signature shoes until Hill’s switch to adidas and then Nike during the 2000s.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s supremely unfortunate that Jabari Parker’s promising rookie season was suddenly derailed by an ACL injury. However, with his stellar frame and efficient skills, the forward from Chicago should bounce back and further help the promising Bucks become true contenders. Now while Jabari rehabs from his injury, I’m rather sure he’ll be doing so in style as this Jordan Brand endorser has a knack for sporting coveted kicks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dating back to his time in high school, Jabari has been seen in his fair share of Air Jordan staples along with various PEs of the Nike LeBron X. Being the youngest member of the Duke All-Time Five, it seems promising that Jabari will garner his very own signature line in the future as he looks to be the hope of Milwaukee basketball.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quick question: How many Plumlee brothers are there? If you answered infinite<\/em>, you are completely wrong. However, I understand wholeheartedly how you could arrive at that assertion because with a new one in Durham each and every year, it seems like the Plumlee parents have a knack for producing athletic big men. Nonetheless, Mason<\/em> Plumlee has definitely created a name for himself as he has quickly become an intriguing post player for the Brooklyn Nets. With his wide array of kicks ranging from the Nike Hyperdunk to the Nike Kobe V, Mason firmly understands how to catch our eye here at NK. In fact, Plumlee would beat our former Sneak Peek guest Sheldon Williams<\/a>, for the center spot on our list.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
