With PJ Tucker gracing the court\u00a0last night in the latest makeup of the Just Don x Air Jordan 2, the litany of collaborative makeups\u00a0hitting the hardwood\u00a0has become rather vast. With that in mind, what better time to present the latest edition of Kicks On Court Classic?<\/strong><\/p>\n Not to be outdone by their professional counterparts, several collegiate players have also made their way into this rotation of collaborative kicks,\u00a0including the likes of Tyler Ulis and Kyle Wiltjer.<\/p>\n To see for yourself, flip through the pages below.<\/p>\n Players to Wear Yeezys On Court:<\/strong> Nate Robinson, LeBron James, PJ Tucker and Nick Young<\/p>\n With 2016 still in the early stages, the growing dominance showcased by one Kanye West continues to be glaring, as his array of newly released music and sneakers continues to dominate the headlines of various publications. Further pushing his lore into unforeseen stratospheres is the bubbling presence of his aforementioned sneakers throughout\u00a0the NBA.<\/p>\n Dating all the way back to the Fall of 2012, his various Nike kicks were spotted initially on Nate Robinson of the Chicago Bulls, and then sported in successive years by the likes of global superstar LeBron James and noted veteran P.J. Tucker.<\/p>\n Once Yeezy made his move over to the Three Stripes brand, Los Angeles Lakers forward Nick Young shocked many, as he announced his debut with the brand by rocking the adidas Yeezy Boost 750 during a late-2015 contest in Houston. Furthermore, Swaggy P would also whip out the all-black model during a home game where the Lakers brought out their “Hollywood Night” uniforms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Players to Wear Just Don 2s On Court:<\/strong> Devon Booker, Tyler Ulis, Rudy Gay and PJ Tucker<\/p>\n The Just Don lineage has suddenly been able to grow into quite the staple, with a variety of celebrities and ballplayers enjoying the collaborative silhouette from the Chicago-bred creative. With Kanye shouting him out on his recent “FACTS” record, Don C has revitalized the Air Jordan 2 silhouette with quilted makeups featuring Chanel-inspiration. We’ve seen both the blue-hue and the “Beach” tan colorway on court, first worn last night by\u00a0PJ Tucker during a January 19th contest against the Indiana Pacers.<\/p>\n However, the Suns forward was not the only nor the first player to rock Don C’s Air Jordan 2, as last season during the college basketball season, Kentucky freshman Tyler Ulis and Devon Booker took on the Florida Gators in the blue makeup. Players to Wear the Air Jordan 10 “OVO” White:<\/strong> DeMarcus Cousins, Joseph Young, Kyle Wiltjer, Cornelius Hudson, Dwayne Bacon & Jamal Murray<\/p>\n When Jordan Brand teamed up with Drake, their collaborative venture was seemingly destined for success. This has culminated in the likes of a variety of notable figures hitting the hardwood in\u00a0the “OVO” Air Jordan 10. With its minimalistic design, the model can pair well with any home uniform, as we’ve seen within the college ranks ranging from Dwayne Bacon of Florida State to Kyle Wiltjer of Gonzaga.<\/p>\n In addition, several NBA players have spent time in the OVO signature, such as DeMarcus Cousins, Joe Young and James Young.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Players to Wear the Air Jordan 10 “OVO” Black:<\/strong> P.J. Tucker & Lou Williams<\/p>\n During his tenure with the Toronto Raptors, Lou Williams solidified himself as a bonafide scoring option off of the bench, even securing a Sixth Man of the Year award during Toronto’s playoff run. With his popularity rising, the Atlanta native even scored the coveted black “OVO” Air Jordan 10’s, that he rocked during a contest against the Brooklyn Nets. Coinciding well with the Raptors’ throwback uniforms, Lou Will became a delight for the glorious fans “North of the Border.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Player to Wear the Air Jordan 12 “OVO” Black:<\/strong> Amir Johnson<\/p>\n Decked out with their camo unis, Amir Johnson laced up the Air Jordan 12 “OVO” Black while with the Raptors last season. This model is yet to release, but the Drake Night seeding helped the big man get a fresh pair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Players to Wear the Drake vs. Lil Wayne Air Jordan 3s:<\/strong> Eric Bledsoe & Amir Johnson<\/p>\n The Phoenix Suns continue to be the strongest team in the NBA when it comes to kicks. With the addition of Devin Booker this last draft,\u00a0it’s rather a foregone conclusion that our very own George Kiel will dub this team as KOC’s finest for this season.<\/p>\n However, both\u00a0Eric Bledsoe and P.J. Tucker have been known to “show-out” when it comes to stellar kicks. Eric Bledsoe recently rocked\u00a0the rather rare Drake vs. Lil Wayne Air Jordan 3, that featured mostly black hues throughout the upper and orange accents. In addition, Amir Johnson also broke out the black pair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Player to Wear the Air Jordan 3 “6IX” PE:<\/strong> Louis Williams<\/p>\n Going for the gold, the 6 Man himself laced up a very fitting Drake PE before dipping for LA. Like his former teammate Amir Johnson, Louis also saw it fit to rock this rare pair with Toronto’s camo uniforms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Player to Wear the PSNY x Air Jordan 12 On Court:<\/strong> P.J. Tucker<\/p>\n Fast forward to this season, and PJ Tucker took on two teams in the ever-so coveted PSNY x Air Jordan 12 collaboration that took on tonal hues of grey throughout the upper.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Players to Wear the UNDCRWN x adidas Gil Zeros:<\/strong> Gilbert Arenas & Nick Young<\/p>\n Gilbert Arenas and Nick Young share a lot of commonalities: they both enjoy\u00a0shooting\u00a0in an array of ways —\u00a0no matter the circumstances — b<\/em>oth hail from Los Angeles, both spent time with the Washington\u00a0Wizards and ultimately each share some odd eccentricities.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, the duo spent time in the UNDCRWN x adidas Gil Zeros during their time in the league. In collaboration with\u00a0Agent Zero’s signature line, this model features an array of decorative hues throughout\u00a0the upper, fitting each of their personalities so well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Players to Wear the Jeremy Scott x adidas Streetball:<\/strong> Iman Shumpert<\/p>\n Just as Jeremy Scott’s eccentric and inventive designs with adidas Originals were picking up steam, then-Knick Iman Shumpert became the first player to hit the court in a JS creation. While he didn’t don the more daring “JS Wings,” he did wear the JS Streetball, a multi-material mid-top highlighted by exotic animal prints and orange overlays.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Players to Wear the Terror Squad Air Jordan PEs:<\/strong> Fred Jones and PJ Tucker<\/p>\n If you go back and re-watch the “Make it Rain” or “Lean Back” videos, you’ll quickly be reminded of how crazy Fat Joe’s kick game has been for years. A longtime friend to Jordan Brand and also Fred Jones, Joey helped the Oregon Duck get laced with Terror Squad Jordan PEs of the retro and team variety while with the Knicks. Making the most of similar sizes and color schemes, P.J. Tucker has even dug deep and pulled out a few of Fred’s pairs with the Suns.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Players to Wear the Reebok S. Carter:<\/strong> Jamal Crawford and Kenyon Martin<\/p>\n Long before Jay-Z was trying to revolutionize the music streaming industry, he was trying to revolutionize the sneaker industry with his S Dot Carter signature sneaker. Taking on an aesthetic of a more “casual” makeup, this model would find some niche popularity within the NBA during the early 2000s, mainly within the realm of some exciting young stars such as Jamal Crawford and Kenyon Martin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With PJ Tucker gracing the court\u00a0last night in the latest makeup of the Just Don x Air Jordan 2, the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":480861,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[835,1223981],"tags":[1225659,1225551,1223982],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nNike Air Yeezy 1, 2 & adidas Yeezy Boost 750<\/h2>\n
