The dunk contest, no matter how well or unwatchable it plays out, is an ideal showcase for the latest and greatest kicks on the market. Last night’s participants at least made sure to bring it in that regard.
As we did with the 2013 Foot Locker Three-Point Contest shoes, here’s the 2013 Sprite Slam Dunk shoes breakdown by conference and by retail price.
You can tell from those numbers and these that the East goes with the pricier kicks overall. We’ll see if that trend holds for the All-Star Game tonight.
