Yeezy on the court The silhouettes designed by Kanye West seen on the NBA parquet

Yesterday was the day of the drop of the Yeezy Quantum ''Barium'', the umpteenth silhouette designed by Kanye West for adidas. For the first time we are not talking about sneakers intended for the purely ''fashion'' sphere, but about an area related to performance - and more specifically to basketball - so much so that the first leaks had called it Yeezy ''BSKTBL'' .

Although it is an off-the-court ''hype'' model, several NBA players have already taken the field with the Yeezy on their feet and when we talk about Yeezy we are not referring only to the latest model released for adidas: Nike Air Yeezy 1 ''Zen Gray'', Nike Air Yeezy 2 ''Solar Red'', ''Red October'' and ''Pure Platinum'', adidas Yeezy Boost 750 ''Triple Black'' and ''Gray Glow in the Dark'' and adidas Yeezy 500 ''Desert Rat'' have been worn by undisputed champions and wingmen who have recorded more for their reputation as a sneakerhead than for their performance on the field.

The only reason LaVine didn't win the All Star Game 2020 ''Most Hyped Player'' title is Brandon Ingram. During the real ''game of the stars'', the Pelicans wing shows up with the shoe used the night before by the Bulls' guard, but that's not all: to watch the game, the shoe designer is sitting in the front row, to which Ingram autographs her before the ball at two. A scene that addicted sneakers could not fail to notice and that diverted attention from the competition. But in the end, even if the format has changed, the NBA All Star Game is pure entertainment.
