The basketball postseason also serves as a great showcase for what some of the world’s top apparel companies have to offer in the shoe game. A lot of players are debuting new designs and special edition versions of their signature lines.
Here are some of the sleek looks from the first round:

Shoe: Kyrie 5 PE
Irving played with the “Mamba Mentality” in this exclusive Kobe Bryant-inspired version of his signature shoe. Boston’s star guard netted 37 points to help the C’s rally past Indiana in Game 2. The Nike sneakers feature a snakeskin design and Bryant’s “Sheath” logo combined with Irving’s logo on the heel.
