The NCAA Tournament continued tonight with two of this year’s Cinderella teams being sent home. Saint Mary’s, a 10th seed, was convincingly sent home by 3rd seed Baylor. 9th seeded Northern Iowa, who shocked nearly everyone by upsetting the tournament’s highest seeded Kansas, was defeated by the Michigan State Spartans. Duke continued its solid play with a victory over the Boilermakers of Purdue, whose team members decided to switch things up and break out a couple of Air Jordan Retros in the Air Jordan 6 and Air Jordan 12. In addition to the Jordans, the footwear was filled with some player exclusive colorways and solid team colorways as well.

The Purple Soldier III’s look really nice.
I’m really feeling the Baylor Supernaturals you can’t go wrong with that color-blocking 8)
The orange Clima Madness are really cool(hoping some of ’em surface somewhere), BTW does anybody at Eastbay know where to get those adidas EQT knee-pads(or what they’re called exactly)?
The Duke Kobe’s are a great look, the metallic royal is beautiful.
And finally a Jordan VI sighting, great colorway, makes the shoe look SO good, is it me, or is the amount of J’s surprisingly low this year.
Green Supernats are dope!
I miss the days of seeing the newest release on the court right after it released. Nice to see those VI’s already being played in.
So much heat on the court,all those PE Hyperizes,AJ 6’s,really this is an awesome year to see some
nice shoes on players feet.And Duke rocking their Kobe V PE’s…just amazing!
I thought I spotted some Oreo VI and Taxi XII in on Purdue’s feet… My favorite shoes of the night have to go to Duke’s Kobe V PEs, they’re soooooo nice.
All the colors of the Soldier IIIs are very nice, when you see a bright colored team like Norther Iowa wearing them or Ohio St it’s got a pretty neat new look to the shoe on court, I dont know, maybe its just me *hahaha
I agree, especially since the NCAA teams tend to use their team colors as a main color. With the new rules, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a little more color in the NBA to though.
