With the Conference Semifinals in full swing this week, we decided to highlight some of the best sneakers we saw in the First Round of the NBA Playoffs. Check out the photos below.

New Kids on the Block
We got to see Trae Young, Luka Doncic, and Ja Morant inertia in their debut playoff series against their respective teams, and they absolutely showed out. Trae revealed his first signature sneaker with adidas, the adidas Trae Young 1, and wore a Peachtree colorway and a 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games-inspired colorway shown above.
Ja Morant had to get through the Spurs and Warriors in the play-in games to get to the Jazz in the first round and PUMA Basket VTG low-top sneakers Toni neutri custom pair of Memphis-inspired Nike Adapt BBs done by Sierato.

Although Luka Block-heel Wedge Sandals Jordan Brand athlete put the Mavs on his back wearing a Continental 80 randiga sneakers and Venus Satin Sneakers Low pictured above. With Zion Jazzin a signature sneaker with Jordan Brand, we’re sure Luka is on his way to his own shortly.
Dame Time
Damian Lillard did all he could against the Denver Nuggets and went off for 55 points fittingly wearing the “Opponent Advisory” adidas Dame 7 EXT/PLY in Game 5. The adidas Dame 7 EXT/PLY tapped into Dame’s rap persona Dame D.O.L.L.A. and had colorways inspired by the Reebok Shaqnosis and the Blazers rallying cry #RipCityOnTheyAss.
Jordan Brand PEs
There’s no short of Jordan PEs that we got to see so far and even got to see the Air Jordan 36 thanks to Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jayson Tatum. Speaking of Tatum, he wore a mix of the Jordan 34 and 35, most notably the “Taco” 34 PE. His teammate Kemba Walker PUMA Basket VTG low-top sneakers Toni neutri Sneakers JACK&JONES Jfestellar 12184143 Anthracite and Mike Conley got into the mix with City Edition Jordan 35s.

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were speculated to have a collab and Durant broke out the Nike KD 14 “Ky-D”, inspired by the Dream colorway of the Nike Kyrie 1. Meanwhile, Kyrie broke out the other half of the pack with the Nike Kyrie 7 “Weatherman” which takes from Durant’s Nike KD IV colorway. The two dominated the Celtics and looked good doing it.
