With the 2019-20 NBA season under way, fans are thrilled to have basketball back in their lives. And for the real heads out there, the release of several new signature sneakers is just another thing to get excited about.
We’ve seen new shoes from the usual suspects: Air Jordan, Kyrie, KD and more. But we’ve also seen some releases from brands that have been out of the NBA game for quite some time. It’s certainly an exciting time to be a sneakerhead.
Here are a few of the best sneakers to be released so far this season.

The Air Jordan XXXIV
I’d be remiss to start a conversation about basketball sneakers without mentioning the iconic Air Jordan brand. Former Duke star Zion Williamson debuted the latest Jordans after signing the richest sneaker deal for an NBA rookie in Nike’s history. At just 13.3 ounces, the Air Jordan XXXIVs are one of the lightest shoes created by the Jordan brand.
They come in three colourways: White/Red/Black (pictured above), as well as Black/Black/Metallic Silver and Blue Void/Green Glow/Black/Metallic Silver. The latter pair is slightly more expensive ($231 CAD) but as you can see, they look pretty sharp!

There may not be a better time to drop your first signature shoe than after being named the MVP. Giannis Antetokounmpo parlayed his monstrous 2018-19 season into an exciting launch for his new shoe, the Zoom Freak 1. These shoes feature “extra-responsive cushioning, forefoot lockdown and multi-directional traction needed to complement his freakishly athletic game.”
The shoes come in three colourways: Hyper Royal/Blue Haro/White/Metallic Golf (pictured above), Noble Red/Bright Crimson/Bicycle Yellow/Blackened Blue, Black/Photo Blue/Metallic Dark Grey/Multi-Colour, and White/University Red/Metallic Gold.
