In the 2017 New Orleans All-Star Game, Wade received 979566 votes, but ultimately missed the selection. He didn't forget to thank every fan who voted for him, and still sold an all-star color sneaker for the fans who supported him.

The O 5 ALL-STAR is presented in black and white, which is also the most commonly used color combination nowadays, which is simple and very street-like. However, the power is to give it a beam of light, and this pair of all-star sneakers will transform into a colorful effect. It implies a seemingly low-key appearance, and can still release unacceptable moves at any time, suggesting that everyone should never underestimate Wade, who is already 36 years old on the court.

The tongue and heel are emblazoned with a silver "17" as a sign of Wade's own respect for every vote the fans cast for him in 2017. Therefore, this pair of sneakers is not just an ordinary pair of sneakers, but also contains the deep affection between Wade and the fans.

In the 2017 All-Star Game, Thompson changed his sneaker plan in memory of his recently deceased grandfather, and instead of wearing the All-Star color sneakers prepared in advance, he DIY a pair of special color sneakers to commemorate his grandfather, who served in the U.S. Navy.

Every detail of these sneakers carries Thompson's personal sensibilities. The black color palette symbolizes the deep love of grandparents, the blue sole represents the deep expanse of the sea, the navy and anchor on the outside symbolize the identity of the maternal grandfather, and the ribbon around the anchor bears the initials of the maternal grandfather's name and the date of his death. It can be said that the truth is integrated into every aspect of this sneaker.

The sneaker is part of the player, a spiritual symbol, and an emotional window. Through the boots, you can read a player, feel his true feelings, and participate in his inner world.

In 1991, "Magic" Johnson announced that he was infected with the HIV virus and officially retired from the league. But in 1992, he received an invitation from the league to return to the game and shined on the All-Star game, scoring 25 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists alone to lead the team to victory. The theme of that year's All-Star Game was "The Return of the Magician", and the whole process was full of warmth and love.

Probably a lot of people didn't notice his sneakers, he was wearing Converse Cons at the time. A pair of sneakers that weren't particularly famous, but they became a timeless classic in the All-Star Game of "The Magician". It can be said that this pair of shoes is a testament to the affection between the players and the unity and camaraderie of the NBA family.

When it comes to LaVine, it always seems to be reminiscent of Kobe. is also the No. 13 rookie in the first round, also wearing the No. 8 jersey, and also won the championship of the slam dunk contest in his rookie season. At the 2015 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, LaVine wore his idol Kobe Bryant's Kobe 10 (Los Angeles City Edition) to win the championship, on the one hand, to pay tribute to his childhood idol, and on the other hand, to make up for Kobe's regret that he missed the New York All-Star Game due to injury.

LaVine's dunk made the dunk contest full of passion again. His sneakers also mean the return of this classic game, and he is paying tribute to the legend!

When it comes to paying homage to legends, another legend that has to be mentioned is Michael Jordan. The 2003 All-Star Game was Jordan's last All-Star Game, and the AJ18 became Jordan's last pair of game shoes. In that All-Star Game, Jordan chose the North Carolina blue color scheme, and in the theme of tribute and farewell, Jordan wore AJ18 to play his last All-Star Game.

At that time, the script seemed to be written in advance, and in the last 10 seconds of the first overtime, the Eastern All-Stars and the Western All-Stars were tied at 136, and the 39-year-old Jordan executed the final attack, a step-back jumper in the right corner, and the ball crossed a perfect arc and hit a hollow shot, but he left 4.8 seconds for the West. The paranoid Kobe Bryant did not give up, but instead caused a foul on O'Neal Jr. from outside the three-point line, making two of three free throws to send the game into the second overtime. As a result, Garnett went on a big show in the second overtime and ended up winning the MVP that year.

Although Jordan failed to win his last All-Star Game, his pair of AJ18s still left a unique bright spot on the All-Star stage.

It was still the 2003 All-Star Game, when before the game, Jordan once said something like this-

"I don't want a funeral, I'm not leaving or dying, I'm still playing, so I want to say thank you to everyone who cares about me, but I don't want to turn this All-Star Game into a funeral."

Jordan released these words, obviously asking other stars to have a real battle with him. The league's stars are eager to try and have a good fight with their helpers, and Kobe Bryant is no exception. In honor of Jordan, Bryant wore an Air Jordan 3 True Blue to the court.

It was these sneakers that he wore to block the perfect ending that should have belonged to Jordan. Some people say that Kobe Bryant is unruly and does not know how to "respect the elderly"; Some people also say that Kobe Bryant's doing this is the greatest respect for Joe's gang leader! After all, wearing Jordan's sneakers and beating Jordan himself, such a unique way of paying tribute is not something that ordinary people can do if they want to.

It is said that heroes cherish heroes, and 13 years later, when Kobe Bryant ushered in the last All-Star Game of his career, Jordan, who was already the owner of the Hornets, also expressed his respect for Kobe in his own way. He prepared a full set of AJ boots for Kobe Bryant (30 pairs in total).

The official Twitter account of the Jordan brand reads: "The final gift: A gift from the owner (Jordan) to Kobe Bryant before his final All-Star Game began. "I also posted photos of these sneakers on Twitter, which is very spectacular.

After reading the above stories, you may think that behind every pair of glorious all-star boots, there should be such an impressive story. However, in recent years, the all-star boots have become more and more "face-painted", with bright appearance, gorgeous colors, and heavy graffiti, but it is difficult to impress people anymore. In the eyes of many people, it seems that it doesn't matter what kind of shoes the star wears on his feet.

However, sneakers really should be more than just a pair of sneakers. They should carry the star's heavy emotions, record his pursuit of dreams, and let fans know a more authentic and richer self.

The 2018 All-Star is coming, and on the field, the players are uniformly dressed, and the player's personality is not easy to reflect, but the shoes can do this. The sneakers of star players are naturally a holy object sought after by fans from all walks of life, but with the passage of time, many sneaker brands have slowly faded out of people's sight, let's review those classic boots that have been away from people's vision for a long time.
