Every year, we think we have every Christmas Day sneaker covered and then someone throws a curveball by wearing an unannounced pair. Take Kyrie Irving, for example, who all along promoted the "Dream" colorway of the Nike Kyrie 1 as his likely Christmas shoe. Instead, Kyrie surprised us all with a previously unseen "South Beach"-leaning colorway.

Another player whose Christmas sneakers were influenced by the "South Beach" colorway was Paul Pierce, who wore a green and pink pair of the Nike Air Legacy 3. Considering we probably won't see a LeBron 12 "South Beach" colorway for obvious reasons, it was good to see the iconic colorway well represented on Christmas Day. Unfortunately for us, the Air Legacy 3 is currently only available in grade school sizes. However, Pierce is auctioning off the pair he wore yesterday for charity, in case you really wanted them.
