Adidas Lightning Creator West + Bounce Commander East

Similar to the way some people watch the Super Bowl just for the commercials, some sneakerheads may watch the NBA All-Star Game just to see the crazy kicks. Each year, while the East and West are battling for pride, the sneaker brands fight for exposure, premiering new products and outfitting their players with some of the most outrageous PE’s imaginable.

Keeping up with the tradition of attention-grabbing All-Star sneakers, adidas will introduce the Bounce Commander and Lightning Creator in both East and West colorways at this year’s All-Star Weekend in Phoenix. The Commander is a great big man’s shoe, engineered for maximum cushioning and worn by a who’s who of elite NBA centers such as Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett. The Lightning Creator, on the other hand, is built for speed and worn by slashers like Tracy McGrady, Derrick Rose and Chauncey Billups. Both pairs, as mentioned earlier will come in Silver/Sunset Blue for the East and Desert Red/Gold for the West and will be available at retailers nationwide. via Freshness.
