Since the NBA has become the league of expression for all of its players, what better way to let them speak through their footwear. Now that the NBA has virtually removed its restriction on what sneakers a player can wear in an official game brand such as Nike have taken full advantage of this.

Several of their athletes with a signature shoe will have an exclusive colorway for opening week, but since Nike would love to showcase is brand on all television screens across America the signees of the brand are getting to express themselves through the Player Exclusive “By You” custom designs. Featuring a strong roster of rookies, second-year players, and young stars.

This year, the project was expanded to 23 players who customized their footwear based on four signature silhouettes: Kyrie 5, the KD 12, the PG 3 and the Zoom Freak 1. Check out the sneakers below in the Nike By You colorways and the personal inspirations that helped create them. You can customize your pair now on Nike.com.
