His pre-season wears have been rather inconsistent but a notable advancement was that he did break his Nike addiction to lace up an adidas Crazylight Boost and a Reebok Answer 1 retro in a rare changing of the brands. The Lakers aren't going to be any good, but they're going to be a fun train wreck to watch and Nick's footwear selections have always added another reason to tune in. Young has been a featured star in our NBA Feet series for years breaking out Jordan retros, Foamposites, and plenty of Kobe retros now that he's in La La Land. While a signature shoe is usually beneficial to those involved, if Young's actually happens it will be an end of an era. In the meantime, expect him to wear more brands besides the usual nike free shoe all Nike regiment throughout the season.
