There's always a highly anticipated or nostalgia-invoking shoe about to hit the shelves.
Continue on for a collection of new releases slated for NBA All-Star Weekend 2024:
Dallas Mavericks’ guard Luka Dončić’s name is on a very short list of NBA players who were voted to the All-Star game five time before their 25th birthdays.
Details like the reflective and that runs around the sneaker and the dollar bill-themed KD logo on the tongue make this model one-of-a-kind. This is one shoe that’ll stick out on your TV screen.
MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo’s All-Star themed sneaker is a tribute to his older brother and teammate Thanasis. A handwritten message on the shoe’s collar reads, “Thanasis thanks for sharing” — a nod to the days when the two brothers used to share basketball shoes.
Although Ja Morant is healing form season-ending shoulder surgery, the Memphis Grizzlies guard’s All-Star sneaker is still set for release by the All-Star game. The color scheme was inspired by Morant’s visitor badge he uses when visiting Nike headquarters.
This blast from the past pays homage to Kobe’s electrifying performance at the 2001 All-Star game. This shoe looks almost identical to the original “Sunshine” colorway, with the addition of an ’01 All-Star logo on the tongue.
Two-time NBA All-Star received his first signature sneaker this season, and the All-Star colorway is the most interesting yet. The color-changing metallic finish on this shoe is perfect for the most star-studded game of the year.
The Nike Air More Uptempo from 1996 comes to mind here. The GT Hustle 2 is a sneaker made to support lightning quick movements and has a recognizable look.
The Nike GT Jump 2 also carries a familiar coat of paint — 90s basketball heads may recognize this look from the Total Air Foamposite Max worn by Tim Duncan. It’s a sneaker that perfectly blends together the best of both eras.
