Over the last week, I’ve frequently gotten one question from basketball fans. “What in the world is J.J. Hickson wearing?” The answer is simple – the Nike Zoom Sharkley. However, while the sneaker is easy to identify, the colorway is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.
Looking to make an impression with his sneakers, Hickson designed the custom yellow on yellow Sharkleys at the NIKEiD site. The only other color that appears on the shoe is wine, which is used for personalization on the heel. In one of the team’s post-game interviews, Cavs head coach Byron Scott called the shoes the ugliest shoes he had seen in a long time. Hickson, on the other hand, says the iDs turned out exactly how he wanted.
This installment of Sneaker Watch features a closer look at Hickson’s mustard yellow shoes, as well as an update on what Gilbert Arenas decided to wear in his most recent outing. Take a look at what some of the players around the NBA have worn recently.

I want those huaraches!
Brandon Jennings UA shoes get my vote.
Those CP3.IV’s look like da truth!
do PE shoes come with longer straps? ’cause i can never strap the strap on my hypermaxes..
Knicks Infiltrates are all really good, Timmy’s Big Fundamental 8) , Black Ice always good 8) , and the CP3.IV is SO MUCH better than the .III’s.
