This weekend was the start of the 2009 NBA Playoffs, and many of you tuned in. Now whether it was for the action, or to see what sneakers your favorite player might have been wearing – that’s a different story. Boston Celtics star Ray Allen debuted his own PE colorway of the Air Jordan Element, a shoe that at first appeared to be another colorway of the Air Jordan XI (11). The Air Jordan Element is definitely clean, and seems to be taking over the feet of other star players such as Joe Johnson.

Throughout most of the season, Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics wore player exclusive colorways of his own sneaker, the Nike Max P2 V, but now that the stakes are higher and the playoffs have started, Pierce has decided to switch to the Nike Zoom Sharkley. The Nike Zoom Sharkley was the sneaker of choice for many guards earlier in the season, but most have moved on to other sneakers including the Nike Zoom Phenom. This “Home” Nike Zoom Sharkley Player Exclusive (PE) features a white upper accented by a green midsole, green inner lining, a black outsole, a clear sole under the heel, and Pierce’s logo on the rear. Unfortunately, this colorway was made exclusively for Paul Pierce, and will most likely never be available in stores.
