As late as last December, the threat of a complete cancellation of the NBA season was looming. Would we be deprived of seeing the world’s greatest stars in action? In a fortuitous turn of events, the players and owners finally came to an agreement, and a rigorous schedule of sixty-six games in a span of 124 days was set in stone. While it took a toll on some players (back-to-back-to-back games will do that to a guy), it was certainly a treat for fans of NBA Feet, as we pumped out a consistent group of impressive on-court sneaker sightings on a regular basis. If you couldn’t keep up with Sneaker News’ pace, we’ve decided to compile to best NBA Feet of the 2011-2012 Season, so check out the NBA Feet: Best Of The 2011-2012 Season below and stay tuned for a complete NBA Feet Awards feature soon!

The day that was in danger of never happening is finally here – NBA Media Day! It’s the perfect opportunity for NBA stars to re-introduce themselves to the media and the fans, and also a first look at some familiar faces in new places. We’ll let the NBA blogs handle that drama, because we’re here to look at the kicks! Starting off, Joe Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks was rocking the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’, while Southern Conference rivals Orlando Magic forward Quentin Richardson wore his Air Jordan XIII PE in White/Royal. The Knicks frontcourt of Melo, STAT, and Tyson Chandler got together for a nice photo, while Kobe Bryant posed with veteran Derek Fisher and new coach Mike Brown. Other interesting notes: Monta Ellis, formerly with AND1, is seen wearing the Air Jordan 8.0 (that’s a great pick-up for Jumpman if he’s a full time member), and LeBron James rocking the Home/Scarface LeBron 9. There’s a lot more to see below, so take a look and get ready to kick off a season-long series of NBA Feet features! via Yahoo!.
