The sneaker rotation in this year’s NBA Playoffs continues to impress, with stars bringing out fresh pairs, new colorways, and signature heat for Week 2.
Kicks on the hardwood have not disappointed so far this postseason, and the second week brought even more standout sneakers into the spotlight. From signature debuts to player exclusives, stars across the league continue to elevate the playoff stage with every step.
Here are five more fresh kicks that caught attention during Week 2 of the 2026 NBA Playoffs.
LeBron James
The King has been on a heater in this series, not just with his play, but also with his footwear rotation. In Game 2, LeBron broke out the “Hurt Feelings” LeBron 23 before following it up with the “Shoe Bag” colorway in Game 4. Two standout pairs for one of the biggest stages in basketball.
Tyrese Maxey
Maxey officially entered the signature shoe club this postseason by debuting the Maxey v1. The classic New Balance look on the playoff hardwood blended perfectly with the Sixers’ Classic Edition uniforms.
James Harden
The Beard unveiled another fresh colorway of the Harden Vol. 10, this time with the eye-catching “Northern Lights” edition. The pair matched seamlessly with Cleveland’s darker threads.
Chet Holmgren
Holmgren laced up a new Nike KD 18 PE during Game 3 of Oklahoma City’s series against Phoenix. The gradient made the pair as clean as the Thunder’s record in the postseason so far.
Anthony Edwards
Edwards wore the Lucid colorway of the AE 2 through the early part of the series, but switched things up in Game 4 warmups with the “Believe That 1″ — a takedown model of his signature line. The pair instantly stood out with the Wolves’ classic edition threads. While the night was mixed individually, Minnesota still managed to hold homecourt.
