Christmas Day Kicks

by Chris O’Leary/@olearychris

With five games on the schedule on Christmas Day, NBA fans got a little bit of everything. Highlights included the Magic snapping Boston’s 14-game winning streak, the Lakers looking very un-champion like in their loss to the Heat and KD putting on a show for everyone, carving up the Nuggets for 44 points in an OKC win.

The highlights were non-stop in terms of footwear. Green socks, red sneaks and green Knicks jerseys were among my favorites. The biggest attention grabber of the day was what Dwyane Wade had on his feet. Wade debuted the Air Jordan 2011 in the first half against the Lakers, before slipping back into the AJ 2010 in the second half.

In the flood of pictures that follows, I’ve probably got some of your favorites, too. For more detailed looks at what Kobe, KD and LeBron were wearing, check out the post we ran earlier this week. Also take a look at the shoes I previewed last week to see what Kevin Garnett was wearing yesterday and what Baron Davis could be wearing today against the Suns.
