Five Best Shoes Worn in the NBA on October 22

Luka Doncic, Ja Morant, and DeMar DeRozan wore some of the best shoes during NBA games on October 22.

Basketball fans can always count on spectacular performances every night during the NBA season. Additionally, sneakerheads can always expect plenty of heat to be worn on players' feet. 

Last night was one of the special moments where some of the game's best players created memorable highlights while wearing incredible shoes. 

Once again, Nike dominated, but Adidas remained competitive. Below is our list of the five best shoes worn during NBA games on Saturday, October 22.

Nike Kyrie 1 'The Dungeon'

Everyone was excited about the matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. However, the game ended up being lopsided as Luka Doncic and the Mavericks ran away from Ja Morant and the Grizzlies. 

Nevertheless, Morant scored 20 points in an old pair of Kyrie Irving's shoes. The All-NBA point guard wore the Nike Kyrie 1 'The Dungeon', which was released in July 2015 for $110. The shoes now have an average resale price of $376, according to StockX.

Jordan Luka 1

Dallas Mavericks point-forward Luka Doncic made a strong early season argument for MVP last night. Doncic tallied 32 points, ten assists, and seven rebounds in a blowout victory over the Grizzlies.

Doncic wore a never-before-seen colorway of his signature sneaker, the Jordan Luka 1. The first few colorways of the Jordan Luka 1 have all sold out. So fans should monitor Jordan Brand's website for future releases.

Adidas D.O.N. Issue 4

We at FanNation Kicks are fans of Donovan Mitchell's signature sneaker line and Dia De Los Muertes. Last night, the All-Star guard led the Cleveland Cavaliers with 32 points over the Chicago Bulls.

Even better, Mitchell wore an unreleased colorway of his fourth signature sneaker, the Adidas D.O.N. Issue 4. The model was released in multiple colorways a few weeks ago. Fans can expect more heat from Mitchell and Adidas throughout the season.
