The stage is set. The Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers will meet on Wednesday night to kick off the 2020 NBA Finals. Two teams that didn’t even make the playoffs last year will now be squaring off for the Larry O’Brien Trophy. LeBron James has been seen wearing his new 18th model during pre-game warm-ups and then switching to either his 17’s or 7’s come game time. Kobe 5 Protros remain steady among players in addition to new colorways spotted. Unlike ten years ago during the original run of the Kobe 5’s, todays game is truly “positionless basketball” – with point guards 6’2″ and big men 7’0″ rocking low top Kobes.

Jordan Brand athlete, Kemba Walker, wasted no time in wearing some Celtics-inspired Air Jordan 35’s. LeBron has been wearing mismatched shoes as well as changing pairs during halftime (hey, whatever works, right?). The young Miami Heat squad is filled with players sporting Kobe models and now they’ll be facing the team the late great Mamba played for. In surprising fashion, this week’s #1 spot was taken by a new player for the first time all season. Look below to see who rocked one of the best P.E.’s yet.
