Top 35 Celebrity Sneaker Sightings This Season

However, it seems as if the celebrities spotted at these games were in direct competition with the players in regards to sneaker heat. At the end of most Kicks On Court posts, we showed you celebrities such as Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Spike Lee, Jay-Z, George Lopez and others rocking some serious sneaker heat.
Throughout the 2010-2011 NBA season, our Kicks On Court column showcased and highlighted some of the best kicks seen on the court. Players such as LeBron James, Gilbert Arenas, Nate Robinson, Kobe Bryant and others were seen rocking player exclusives and limited releases on a nightly basis.
Were the celebrities strapped with more sneaker artillery than the actual players? Take a look at our five-page

Nike SB Killshot LR Sample

Fresh off the release of the new Eric Koston One is a peek at Nike SB’s take on an old school silhouette.  Though little is known about this sample, the picture, which was tweeted by UNDFTD’s Eddie Cruz only a short time ago, reveals a reflection of what looks to be a neon liner.The Killshot was originally intended for court usage for tennis and racquetball players, but it looks as though the action branch in Beaverton is prepared to give it a go. While it could very easily be some simple Volt coloring of the insole, the aforementioned new signature features a similarly colored Lunarlon midsole. It’s too early to speculate further, but let’s hope this rehashed classic ends up on shelves soon.
