Chris Paul, who recently came back from a shoulder injury, will be playing in his 7th All-Star game and is looking to take home back to back MVP honors in the All-Star game, a feat never achieved before.

Tony Parker will be appearing in his 6th All-Star game this Sunday, and Peak wanted to do something different. Much like his play over the years, Parker was never about flash, but more about execution. Always under the radar, Parker and the Spurs get the job done, but for All-Star weekend, Peak wants to bring some flare to Parker with these silver and purple player exclusives. Reminiscent of New Orleans, the silver and purple represent the host city, and the red Peak logo off sets the shoe nicely. Unfortunately there is no set release date for these or the alternate red colorway, but keep it locked for further details.
