8 of The Most Notable Kicks From Week 2 of the NBA PlayoffsPosted by Ru Porter on 05/06/13 | Filed under Style, Sneakers, Sports, NBA |

1) Adidas “The KOBE” – Chicago Bulls wingman Jimmy Butler surprised sneakerheads everywhere as he wore what’s considered the most innovative-looking kicks in the history of sneakerdom during Game 6 against Brooklyn. Made to resemble Bryant’s Audi TT Roadster, these “moon boots” were Kobe’s third signature silhouette, which dropped in 2000.
2) Reebok Pumpspective Omni PE – On April 28, Jason Terry shot a mean pull-up jumper at the half while wearing some green/black Reebok Pumpspectives in Game 4 against the Knicks.
3) Nike Air Trainer SC “Auburn” – JR “Swish” (as I like to call him sometimes) has been making headlines since the beginning of the Playoffs, for both his style of playing as well as the shoes he wears, so of course all eyes were on him as he rocked a fresh pair of Bo Jacksons for Game 5.
4) AND 1 “Tai Chi” PE - Pacers guard Lance Stephenson laced up a pair of black and gold Yin and Yang-inspired Tai Chi kicks for the first half of Game 5 against The Hawks.
5) ANTA KG III PE – In what would be his last game of the postseason, Kevin Garnett came to TD Garden in this green/white colorway of his very own Chinese-produced sneakers.
6) Adidas Real Deal – JR wasn’t the only Knick player to rock heat in the series against Boston this year. Iman Shumpert also gets honorable mention for the kicks he wore on Friday night.
7) Air Jordan X "Chicago" – Andray Blatche hit two consecutive three-pointers during the last 20 seconds of the game wearing these black/white/red Js against Chicago on May 2nd.
8) Nike Air Penny V "Blue Eagle" – Even though Denver lost in game 4 against Golden State, Wilson Chandler still looked pretty fresh with these Pennys on last Sunday.
