Who says man was not meant to hoop in running shoes?<\/p>\n

Certainly, anyone who’s balled on the regular has played with or against someone who’s handed out buckets in a pair of Brooks.<\/p>\n

It happens.<\/p>\n

When you think about it, the only difference between a pair of running shoes and a pair of b-ball shoes is lateral support and occasionally height. Other than height? Pretty much apples to oranges.<\/p>\n

Last night, PJ Tucker shocked the world by playing in the OFF-WHITE x Nike Air Max 90. While Tucker has hooped in everything from Air Yeezys to OFF-WHITE Jordans, it was still a shock to see the small forward choose to check Rodney Hood or be willing to switch onto Dame or CJ in a pair of low tops that live in the lifestyle space.<\/p>\n

Still, PJ isn’t the first pro hooper to run an NBA game in runners.<\/p>\n

Who else is an honorary Kicks on Court<\/strong> member of the Runner’s Club.<\/p>\n

+ When Gilbert Arenas was making the switch from the Warriors to the Wizards he was also moving from Reebok to adidas
\n+ Said to have hooped in Air Max 95s during his high school days in Cali, the speedy combo guard was always big about feeling fast on court<\/p>\n

+ First off, let’s not overlook the AND1 socks in the first photo
\n+ In preseason of 2003, Gilbert Arenas was hooping in Reebok runners straight out of JC Pennys as seen above and also handing out buckets in the “Hyper Blue” Air Max Plus<\/p>\n

\n+ Though the 500 resides more in lifestyle than running, it does feature an archival EQT sole stolen from the KB8 III<\/p>\n

\n+ While the shoes slipped off, Trez didn’t slip as they got the win over LeBron and the Lakers<\/p>\n

\n+ While another KOC legend that we’ll show later plays in AM90s often, this was a first for PJ<\/p>\n
