New Orleans 08: The East hit the hardwood in style

CB4, Tough Juice, LeBron, P2 and J-Kidd rock special-edition sneakers this weekend in New Orleans.

The beasts from the East will be taking the floor this weekend in New Orleans in special-edition kicks. LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Caron Butler, Paul Pierce and Jason Kidd will each have their personalized sneakers in the red, blue and grey of the East side during the midseason classic. And although all the players have been to the game before, some of the sneakers are making their public debut.

A shoe that has seen many versions now gets the All-Star treatment. The grey and blue body is accented with red stitching and eyelets. The blue body is also stamped with a unique star pattern.
