The second round of NBA Playoff Basketball is in full effect, and already there are some notable headlines to point out! The Heat were unable to stop the Bulls stampede, the Knicks shooting woes continued before they evened up the series in Game 2, the OKC Thunder learned that their battle against the Grizzlies will go down to the wire, and the young Warriors learned that the Spurs are afraid of no deficit. With the number of teams winding down, the sneaker headlines aren’t as frequent anymore, as we’ve already covered LeBron’s Nike LeBron X “MVP” and D-Wade’s Li-Ning Way of Wade Encore, but some other notable sightings included Iman Shumpert’s sole-swapped adidas Real Deal and Draymond Green’s LeBron X iD. Peep NBA Feet below, and stay tuned for more this Friday!

Kevin Durant proved once again on Sunday why he’s considered one of the very best players in the NBA. The young scoring machine is still shy of his twenty-fifth birthday, so given his work ethic and history of good health, we’ll be enjoying number 35′s prodigious talents for many years to come. One of the best parts will be following the development of his Nike Basketball signature series, the next chapter of which is our focus here today. The Nike KD 6 keeps with the Durant line’s sleek lines and this New Orleans Hornets-ish colorup gives all of its distinctive elements a platform to shine. Let us know what you think of the KD VI after you’ve seen these new images below and stick with Sneaker News for more including release dates.

The First Round continued to extend with teams once up 3-0 and 3-1 unable to close out their respective match-ups, but who are we to complain? Extra basketball is always. As expected, some interesting sneaker sightings need to be reported, like J.R Smith’s Nike Air Trainer SC High “Auburn” and Durant wearing the Nike KD V Elite “Playoffs Home” that is set to drop on May 18th. Perhaps the best NBA Feet sighting of the NBA Playoffs goes to Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls, who whipped out the adidas The Kobe in the White/Black colorway. We’ve got more NBA Feet below so take a look!
