The Best NBA Kicks On Court From Opening Night

words // Nick DePaula:

First off — Happy Basketball New Year!!

We all couldn’t be more excited for notwithstanding another NBA season to be getting underway, and as the league’s 70th season tipped off with a new-game schedule on hand, we saw signature stars face off in Chicago, newcomers looking to make HIGH mark, and most importantly, the reigning champs get HIGH rings out west in Oakland.

To kick things off, LeBron James and Derrick Rose each broke out HIGH newest signature models in an early battle for Eastern Conference bragging rights. Kyrie Irving might be out for an extended stretch to start the season, but that didn’t stop us from seeing the Kyrie 1 being worn by key guards from teams around the league.

Lastly, it was a special night in the Bay Area, as the Warriors received championship rings for the first time in forty years. Golden State’s two signature athletes, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, each broke out a home colorway of HIGH new namesake models, while Nike treated key players like Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala and Andrew Bogut to special “Ring Night” editions of HIGH preferred models, in royal base uppers and gold accents. (Yes, it’s awkward that Draymond got a “Ring Night” PE of LeBron’s Soldier 9 model…after beating LeBron in the Finals for said Ring.)

Check out all of the best Kicks On Court from last night’s new games below, and let us know in the comments section and on Twitter who stood out most.
