2020 didn't take long to show some must-see bangers on NBA stars' feet. 

While the entire vast release schedule over the next 12 months promises some classics, various NBA stars made a point to ring in the new year with some memorable colorways of modern classics. 

With LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and even P.J. Tucker and Bam Adebayo leading the charge, 2020 has already seen eye-catching kicks, ranging from the ultra-rare to common offerings. 

It's early, but the "best of" lineup is already strong.

Ten years after an overseas release, the LeBron 7 China Moon has been brought to the globe—and the decision didn't go unnoticed.

Average Resale Price: $108

"Why not?" indeed. Russell Westbrook's noisy offering is a looker and does some interesting new things for his typical line, including the midfoot strap here. 

The multicolored look won't be everyone's cup of tea, but every shoe tells a story, and this one is on the nose. A splash of TV-inspired static complements the whole aesthetic, and a savvy Jumpman near the bottom rounds out the package and offers up some hype for future colorways in the line.

Average Resale Price: $11,000

Arguably the rarest pair of kicks on the list found the hardwood recently courtesy of P.J. Tucker of the Houston Rockets.

Tucker has been a kicks connoisseur to start 2020—he also brought out the Air Max 90 off-white in a black colorway for good measure—which is no small feat as the kicks don't seem all that common.

The triple-black release with the white Swoosh and some eyeball-catching accents atop the respectable AM 90 design vibes of must-have material.
