This past weekend was the 74th NBA All-Star Game, four different teams managed by different NBA legends. Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, and Candace Parker had the best of the best play in the iconic tournament.
With that being said, the basketball players went all out in their custom kicks, and here are six of my favorite All-Star-worthy shoes.
Shoes Shoes All-Star Shoes!
Karl-Anthony Towns who played for 18 minutes on Team Chuck wore a pair of player-exclusive G.T. Jump 2 in bright yellow.
The Nike G.T. Jump 2 is typically sold for $180 in oil green and hyper violet and was made for getting off the ground and landing comfortably.
From Team Shaq, is Jayson Tatum from the Boston Celtics, on Sunday Tatum put in 15 points against Team Chuck and six points against Team Candace in a pair of Nike Tatum 3 “Blueprint.”
These signature Nike and Jayson Tatum shoes are made to provide smooth and flexible movement. They are sold for $125 and are available in pacific blue, summit white, ghost green, seafoam, or platnium tint.
Also from Team Shaq, James Harden sported a pair of custom Adidas Harden Vol. 9 in pink.
The latest signature shoes from James Harden and Adidas Basketball are designed to support the type of moves that have made Harden a superstar on the hardwood and are loaded with the unique sense of style that has helped make his name off the court too. Available to the public in cloud white and cyber metallic for $160.
Claiming the 2025 NBA All-Star MVP award was Stephen Curry, who played for Team Shaq in a pair of Under Armour Curry 12 “What the Bay.”
In blue and dark orange, these basketball shoes pay homage to the bay with Oakland’s bright side and San Francisco’s foggy side. Sold for $140, they are made for comfort, stability, and control.
As a member of Chuck’s Global Stars’ Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wore a pair of unreleased Converse Shai 001. His first signature shoe in a butter colorway that is expected to be available in fall 2025.
Every detail of the Shai 001 has been meticulously crafted to create a shoe as versatile as Gilgeous-Alexander himself — from the silhouette’s materials and colors to a locking zipper that allows for multiple styling options.
Jaylen Brown, typically a shooting guard for the Boston Celtics was a part of Team Shaq and rocked a pair of 741 Rover autographed by other All-Stars on Sunday.
Available for pre-order, these $200 shoes are equipped with abrasion-resistant yarns for high stretch and engineered flex grooves for traction.
