here are my top 5 sneaker choices from the 2012 nba all star weekend (photos taken from nicekicks.com)
1. anfernee hardaway wore nike air foamposite one player exclusive during the celebrity game. this pe was very identical to what he wore during his playing years with the orlando magic. penny still has one of the best kicks line ever, perhaps next to michael jordan (charles barkley would be a close third).
2. kevin durant wore two kd4s at the same time: the year of the dragon edition in his left foot and the upcoming cool grey colorway in his right. his shoe line has to be the next best thing nike has to offer, provided that they don't screw up with it. kd just gave me a good idea on what to do with his kicks.
3. paul george wore nike flight one fresh mint during the slam dunk contest. some say he was "robbed" in the competition, but he wins the kicks category by wearing this in his reverse sticker dunk and the tron-inspired dunk. it's nice to see a classic shoe in a fresh colorway during the all-star weekend.
4. rajon rondo wore nike air foamposite one galaxy during the all star game. this shoe has caught the attention of people around the sneaker community after a riot ensued in a florida mall on the occasion of its release. it surely feels good for players to get those rare kicks without the hassle we undergo.
5. kevin durant wins the all-star game most valuable player award for the first time in his career while wearing kd4 galaxy edition shoes. he led the west all stars with 36 points to give them the win. these joints glow in the dark and was released recently but i didn't had the chance to cop them. too bad.

1996 NBA All-Star Game
the 1995-1996 nba season has to be one of, if not the most memorable nba seasons of all time. for one, it marked the return of michael jordan to a full nba season, leading the bulls to a record 72-10 win-loss record and stirring them to their fourth championship and the first of their second three-peat. and of course, the shoe game then was so beautiful that it featured the best and most memorable kicks during for someone who grew up in the 90's. even when i was in the minor seminary, i wanted having those kicks so bad that i drew them in my school notebooks. well, that partly explains why i collect basketball shoes today particularly those that i wanted to have way back then. but that's another story.
the 1996 nba all star game was also one of the highlights of a very memorable season. held in san antonio (whose star player then was david robinson, my basketball "idol" next to michael jordan), the east all stars won against the west, 129-118. michael jordan scored 20 points and was named all-star mvp for leading the visiting east all-stars (who was with the likes of scottie pippen, grant hill, shaquille o'neal, penny hardaway, reggie miller, patrick ewing, and the like) against the west all-stars (comprised by some notable stars then: david robinson, charles barkley, hakeem olajuwon, jason kidd, shawn kemp, gary payton, john stockton and karl malone).
i saw this article from solecollector.com featuring the all-star game. for those who grew up in the 90's, the kicks will surely elicit memories of the sneaker game that was.
