Yesterday night the NBA celebrated World AIDS Day, displaying a league-wide unity by wearing red and white World AIDS Day warm-up gear and kicks. With players not restricted to their team uniform colors, we got a nice look at some great kicks. Starting off is none other than Gilbert Arenas, who wore the Air Jordan V Red Suede from the Raging Bull Pack. His teammate, John Wall, wore a tonal-red colorway of the Reebok Zig Slash, as did fellow Reebok representatives Jameer Nelson and Jason Terry. Down in Miami, one night before his return to Cleveland, LeBron James wore the Nike LeBron 8 ‘Un-China’, which features more red on the midsole as well as red borders on the carbon-fiber upper panels. His teammate Dwyane Wade wore the Air Jordan 2010 W3LCOME HOME while Juwan Howard wore a white/red/black Jumpman Pro Strong.
As expected, the red pair of the Air Jordan II ‘Candy Pack’ was a popular choice, as it was seen on the feet of Gerald Wallace, D.J. Augustin, and Mike Bibby. Rudy Gay wore a red/black colorway of the Nike Huarache 2010, and Vince Carter wore a similar colorway on a pair of his Nike Shox VC V. The Nike Hyperfuse, Hyperdunk 2010, Air Max Hyped, and many other sneakers were seen in the red/white colorway as well. There’s a lot more to see so take a look at the NBA Feet from World AIDS Day 2010 after the jump and let us know who rocked the best kicks! via ESPN.

people have to hate on kobe for some reason. most likely because their favorite current player couldn'thold his jock strap, but the ones hatin would hold it instantly.

my bad on pointing out kobe… he was just the first one i saw not rockin' red kicks…
but dude (and to max as well), this was for AIDS awareness, would have been nice to see ALL players wear red that day, was rockin' those red/white kobe Vs myself. i never said they'd be goin to hell for not wearing red kicks, but it was for a good cause.
December 4th, 2010 at 6:04 am
didn't mean to hate on kobe or anybody not wearin' red. i'm a kobe and a laker fan myself, just felt it would have been better given the cause behind it.

I love to hate Kobe and my favorite player is better than him (which is my "opinion" based on the "factual" evidence) Rings don't mean he's better..He's just been in a better situation majority or his career. Kobe is arrogant and wanted to do what he wanted to do. I'm sure he would've even wore red drawers too had that 7'5" black panty hose/white shoe wearing lady he committed adultery with had infected him with such serious illness. Kobe is not above reproach.

It doesn't matter that the other players didn't wear them. He's suppose to be the so-called best player in the league so why not take part in the initiatives they support? There are only about 4 or 5 players in the league who matter anyway..the rest are just privileged.
