Eric Bledsoe
Sneaker: Nike LeBron 11
Why: He's a good friend and frequent training partner of LeBron's.
Wearing King James' signature shoe was the least that Bledsoe could do, after LeBron encouraged Phoenix to pay up for the guard via his Instagram account.
$200
Chris Bosh
Sneakers: Nike Air Max Hyperposite
Why: Because third wheels get no love.
As the only member of Miami's now deconstructed "Big Three" not to have his own signature shoe, Chris Bosh needed something to call his own. The Bostrich found it in the form of the Nike Air Max Hyperposite.
$225
DeMarcus Cousins
Sneaker: Nike LeBron 11
Why: Because someone had to pick up the King's scraps.
Unlike Bosh, DeMarcus Cousins often mixes up his on-court shoe game, rotating between retro Jordans and KD VI models to name a few. However, it was the Nike LeBron 11 that Cousins could be spotted in the most this past season, rocking six different colorways of the shoe that was supposedly no good for LeBron himself.
$200
DeMar DeRozan
Sneaker: Nike Kobe 9 EM
Why: The high-flying Raptor possess some of the same skills a young Kobe had.
Whether high or low, DeMar DeRozan was a huge fan of Nike's Kobe 9, sporting the shoe for the second half of the season as well as for Team USA in the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
$180
James Harden
Sneaker: Nike Zoom Crusader
Why: You can't just pair any shoe with that beard.
Harden opted for the Nike Zoom Run the One during the FIBA Basketball World Cup, however it was the Swoosh's Zoom Crusader which Jimmy could be spotted in on the regular during the season.
Nate Robinson
Sneaker: Nike Air Yeezy II
Why: Because who doesn't want to wear Air Yeezys?
Nate Robinson has one of the most eclectic on-court collections of sneakers in the NBA, however it's his streak of being spotted in Kanye West's collaboration with Nike that has made the most noise during his career.
Iman Shumpert
Sneaker: adidas Crazy 97
Why: Because Iman just needs to be different.
It makes sense that Shumpert would wear a pair of adidas Crazy 97's after recording a nineties-inspired mixtape, as well as rocking a nineties-influced haircut.
J.R. Smith
Sneaker: Nike KD VI
Why: The amount of shots that J.R. takes, you'd think he was actually Kevin Durant.
We are sure in J.R.'s head he thinks he is KD, but for now wearing his shoes will have to do.
$130
DeAndre Jordan
Sneaker: Nike Zoom Soldier 7
Why: Because Lob City needs a little LeBron magic.
DeAndre Jordan was a big supporter of LeBron's secondary shoe this past season, rocking five different colorways of the sneaker. Extra points to Jordan for doing a great job of color coordinating his shoes with his Clippers uniforms.
Nick Young
Sneaker: Nike Kobe 9
Why: Someone had to take over for Mamba.
With the absence of Kobe Bryant this past season, responsibilities to wear the Kobe 9 fell upon Nick Young. Swaggy P debuted a number of Kobe 9's on court this season and filled in admirably from a sneaker standpoint for Kobe.
