Once again I bit off more than I can chew with this “great idea” to analyze the All-Star Game by the players sneakers. Once again, not as easy as it seems! The sneaker info was not available for every player! Maybe I should have just rated the teams by hotness factor! Well anyway, it’s too late now. The West was a little bit easier than The East because some of the East players are first-time All-Stars or injured. And I couldn’t find shoe releases on them.
I’ll admit it. I wasn’t really going to watch the game. Now, I will so be tuning in just to finally get a glimpse at what the players are wearing! Check back Monday for more details and info on where you can buy the hottest sneakers (if you are into that sort of thing….I may throw in some hot heels too for girls like me!)
Don’t forget to check out The West rundown so you can make an accurate and informed pick for the game!
Like the shoes? Most are available through Champs, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sports Authority. Where I could, I put a direct link to the shoe.
The East:
Mike Brown- Coach
Ya know, I’m just not going to give the stats. It’s just not fair to try to put him in comparison to Phil Jackson. Plus, I have other stuff to write today and I’m bored of the stats!

Mo Williams- Guard
Ah Mo. As if you didn’t have enough scandal with your selection to the All-Star team over LeBron’s teammate. Now you have to go and be all complicated with the footwear. I could not find even a hint about it. All I know is that he just switched from Nike to Adidas so most likely, he’ll be rocking on of the two shoes displayed next to Devin Williams. But if his contract isn’t up he could be sporting the the Nike Hyperdunk (Rashard Lewis) or the Nike Huarache 09. They made the West Huarache for Tony Parker and made an equivalant East version even though no one is signed up to wear it.
- Stats: 6’1, 190 pounds, 12/19/1980
