2: Nike Kobe 6, Khris Middleton
While Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo often receive the most praise for their sneakers, Khris Middleton quietly has a quality rotation himself. The three-time All-Star has mixed it up this season between G.T. Cuts and Kobes. Undeniably his best work was this pair of Nike Kobe 6s that feature camouflage with a touch of blue to match perfectly with Milwaukee’s blue jerseys.
Middleton wore these in a March 22 matchup with the San Antonio Spurs, where the forward had a double-double with 19 points and 10 assists. His effort helped the Bucks get a 130-94 win at Fiserv Forum. It was one of Middleton’s best outings in what has been a turbulent season for the three-time All-Star due to various injuries he’s battled, mostly notably lingering knee soreness.
Though Holiday has the best sneaker collection in the locker room, Middleton’s may be the most underrated. Hopefully Middleton’s knee soreness alleviates so the forward can make his return to the floor for the NBA Playoffs, where he will inevitably wear more incredible Nikes like these here as the Milwaukee Bucks look to make another deep postseason run.
