Which player had the best sneakers in the NBA during Week 11?

LA Clippers center Montrezl Harrell, one of the NBA’s biggest sneakerheads, began the new year by pouring in 23 points in just 27 minutes and rotating through three different pairs of sneakers in a 126-112 win over the Detroit Pistons on Thursday.

Harrell sported a duo of Jordans that included the recent Chicago Bulls-inspired, red-and-black Jordan Retro 10, along with a surprise original 2004 pair of the Air Jordan 19 SE. For his opening act, though, the center broke out a gleaming gold pair of the 2003 Nike Zoom Flightposite 3. One of three limited-edition colorways designed with a “Battlegrounds” theme, the molded gold Foamposite sneakers were originally made to celebrate Nike’s nationwide one-on-one summer streetball tournament of the same name.

Harrell’s Flightposites even caught the eye of the league’s sneaker champ himself, Houston Rockets power forward PJ Tucker.

“Wow!! Maybe the best pair of the year for him,” Tucker told ESPN in a text message.

Harrell’s heat helped give Tucker an added nudge before his own debut in the new year, a Friday win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

“I literally just got inspired and stopped by my shoe condo and grabbed these,” he jokingly texted a half-hour later. Yes — his shoe condo.
