The 2018-19 NBA season was a very interesting year in the world of sneakers. We witnessed many brands with defunct basketball divisions make their returns such as Puma, New Balance and Converse. The league relaxed its sneaker colorway rules. LeBron James kicked off year two of the LeBron Watch Program with his latest silhouette the LeBron 16. Nike introduced the Nike Adapt BB—the first auto-lacing sneaker for the basketball court. While many shoe collaborations found their way on NBA courts almost every night.
To wrap up the season, The Crossover decided to hand out some sneaker awards.
