Arkansas basketball coach Eric Musselman hits the court in custom Air Force Ones

The Arkansas Razorbacks men’s basketball team takes the court to open regular season play on Tuesday night, including third-year coach Eric Musselman – and he’s hitting the court in style.

Musselman tweeted that he would be upping his shoe "game" this year.

It all starts Tuesday night.

Musselman previewed the pair of shoes he’d wear on opening night, a custom pair of Nike Air Force Ones.

The shoes are hand-painted with each nickname, first name or last name of every player on the team. They were created by Marla Burleson.

"[Musselman] is great wonderful to work with because he allows me to create what I feel will look best," Burleson said.

Burleson says Coach Musselman will be wearing more custom shoes throughout the season that she hand-painted. She said she's already completed 10 but is working on more.

"I am excited for the fans to see all the upcoming shoes through the season," Burleson said. "We have some great designs in store for the Razorback fans!"

The excitement only built when Musselman tweeted a photo of his entire outfit for the first game.

Fans were quick to comment on the shoes, and Musselman’s boyish behavior.
