The 2018 NBA All-Star Game will be held in Los Angles on Feb. 18 and All-Star Weekend is an event in itself. Before it arrives, we took a glance at what shoes and which brands will be represented by each player in this year’s game.
Nike
Nike has rolled out a special line, ‘Makers of the Game,’ for this year’s All-Star break. Along with that line include some collabs and the Kobe 1 Protro (performance retro). Since their ad above doesn’t give a good look at what that line is, here is a closer look at what some of the individual players will be wearing.
