The 2020 NBA preseason is officially over and soon enough games will count for real. Rookies have gotten their feet wet in the league, logging their first NBA minutes. Veterans sat out some games and then used a game or two to fine-tune their skill set. New contracts have been signed with fresh ink and players are settling into their basketball homes.

When it comes to sneakers, the 2020-21 NBA season will be anchored by the LeBron, Kobe, KD, Kyrie, and PG line (like always). These dominant Nike athletes are on their 18th, 13th, 7th, and 4th signature sneakers respectively, with Kobe’s line continuing to go strong with the Protro versions every year. This season looks to build on the success of the Nike Kobe 5 Protro from last year by releasing the 6’s this year. Expect the Nike PG 5 to release soon, as Paul George’s PG 4 was technically his shoe for the 2019-20 season. Under Armour and Steph Curry look to make some noise with the Curry 8 – now casted as Steph’s own brand under the UA umbrella. Will Joel Embiid’s new signature shoe with Under Armour be able to do numbers as well? Adidas just released the Harden Vol. 5, and is slated to come out with the D.O.N. Issue #3 shortly. Derrick Rose’s signature series is still going strong as he just launched the 11th model in his line. Budding young superstar, Trae Young, is set to become the next signature athlete for the Three Stripes sometime later on in 2021. Jimmy Butler is off the sneaker free agent market and has inked a deal with Chinese brand Li-Ning. It will be an interesting year in terms of sneakers for sure.
