2012 NBA All-Star Game: Breaking Down Superstars' Custom All-Star Kicks

Gabe ZaldivarJun 7, 2018

Nike has given us a star-studded gift in the way of three custom-made sneakers for this year's All-Star game. Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Kevin Durant will all get their very own Colorways and we have the breakdown. 

They are the biggest and best stars in the NBA, so it's only fitting that they get the mad love from Nike ahead of the mid-season classic. 

Let's dive into three sweet looking pairs of sneakers.

LeBron James 

Wow Factor: 9 out of 10

These are the loudest of the three sneakers, and I will let you all read into that decision. The South Beach King will get a hot-orange on fire-red Colorway, and it's perfect for the Heat superstar. 

Design: 9 out of 10

I'm liking the grey swoosh, and the icy outsole is perfect for the All-Star game. The classic design is easy on the eyes when you consider the Colorway they went with. 

Overall Swag Grade: 9 out of 10

You would certainly get noticed in a pair of these. I can definitely see these being rocked on the streets of South Beach. 

Kevin Durant

Wow Factor: 9 out of 10

These stand out for the strap that no doubt makes these comfortable. I am loving the white simplicity with splashes of pizazz. 

Design: 8 out of 10

The low-profile sneakers may look like astronaut sneakers to some, but they are far too smooth for that. I don't always like a strap, but in this case it works seamlessly with the sneaker. 

Overall Swag Grade: 8.5 out of 10

I would be happy to rock these but they are just a shade under the spice of King James' sneakers. 

Kobe Bryant

Wow Factor: 10 out of 10

I love these shoes. I would like to get my hands on them to see what the midsole Colorway looks like in the daylight, but I am otherwise sold. 

Design: 9 out of 10

Sleek, dark and cunning. These are the perfect shoe for the Black Mamba.  

Overall Swag Grade: 9.5 out of 10

The best of the bunch goes to the hot Kobe's. You could walk proudly rocking a pair of these.
