Best Sneakers All Star 2015

Did the 2015 All-Star Weekend dethrone 2012’s “Galaxy” showing? With so many great stories coming from different brands, its not a stretch to say that 2015 was the best All-Star Weekend of the 21st century. Nike came forward with some awesome exhibitions in Manhattan and Brooklyn, adidas unveiled Kanye West and the Yeezy Boost, and Jordan Brand’s Pearl Pavilion served as a great first step toward the next era of Jordan. Sneakers were a major headline throughout the weekend, and over the last few days we were treated with some awesome on-feet sightings that will certainly be recurring themes in the months to come. Check out our 15 best sneakers from the ’15 All-Star Game below.

Nike LeBron 12 Low “LeBronold Palmer”

LeBron James has made it a habit of debuting his low-top sneakers at All-Star Weekend, and this most recent event was no different. This new pair of LeBrons, adorned in the infamous “LeBronold Palmer” colorway, caught our firm attention for obvious reasons, with the familiar colorway and HexZoom outsole being dead giveaways of the shoe’s identity.

Nike Hyperposite 2 PE for Chris Bosh

The Hyperposite has been an unofficial big-man sneaker since the sneaker first made waves in 2012. The sequel has yet to release (officially), but these special colorways made for NBA All-Star Chris Bosh should have you pining for the release date.

Nike Air Foamposite One “Sharpie”

Penny wore this “custom” pair of Penny Foamposites during the Shooting Stars competition. While these may look like a standard pair of customs, this Black/Royal Foam mock-up is a tribute to the original debut of the Air Foamposite One. Back in ’97, Penny was threatened with a fine by the NBA since the shoes were not at least 50% black. To avoid getting hit with a penalty, Penny took a sharpie and colored in the ridges.

Nike Hyperposite 2 PE for Anthony Davis

The Hyperposite 2 returns on this list, and for good reason. This silver pair was spotted on the feet of Anthony Davis during media day, but unfortunately the youngster had to sit out of Sunday night’s game to recover from injury. We expect him to continue his record-breaking season, though.

Under Armour Curry One Low

Was there any doubt? Steph took home the Three-point Contest trophy with ease while wearing the upcoming “Candy Reign” colorway of his shoes, but on the night before, he debuted the Curry One Low in the Hornets inspired “30/30” colorway (a tribute to his father Dell).

Nike Kobe 10 “Zoom City”

We thought Kobe would be missing from this All-Star Weekend, but thank Zach Lavine for putting on a show at the Dunk Contest while wearing the Zoom City Kobe 10s. Lavine’s name will be one to look out for now that his leaping ability is a worldwide phenomenon.

Spike’s sneaker game has always been a topic of conversation, and this weekend, he didn’t disappoint.

Unfortunately, he wore the wrong colorway of the Air Jordan 13, but does it really matter?

adidas CrazyLight Boost Primeknit 2015

Rising star Andrew Wiggins had the honor of debuting adidas’ latest basketball silhouette – the CrazyLight Boost Primeknit 2015. The name itself suggests that the sneakers are an amalgam of adidas’ best performance technology, so there should be plenty of reason to give these a second look once they hit store shelves.
