23 Players Customized Their Own Nike Kicks for NBA Opening Week

Last season, Nike took full advantage of the NBA's new uniform guidelines when select players were given the opportunity to customize their own opening-week footwear. This year, the project was expanded to a total of 23 players who had the liberty to create their own footwear based on four current signature silhouettes: Kyrie 5, the KD12, the PG3 as well as the Zoom Freak 1.

The pool of players include Kostas Antetokounmpo, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, Miles Bridges, Bruce Brown, Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, De’Aaron Fox, Darius Garland, Jaxson Hayes, Tyler Herro, De’Andre Hunter, Chandler Hutchison, Jonathan Isaac, Jaren Jackson Jr., Ja Morant, Josh Okogie, Royce O’Neale, Cam Reddish, Jerome Robinson, Collin Sexton, Anfernee Simons, and Brad Wanamaker.

Check out every design in detail below.

It was only right that Kostas Antetokounmpo chose to design his version of the Air Zoom Freak 1, which is the current signature model of the brother Giannis. The word 'Legacy' is embossed on the inner tongue to serve as a remainder of his family’s name every time he plays.

The reigning NBA champion, OG Anunoby prepares a multicolor style of the Kyrie 5 that's sure to stand out on the court.

Mikal Bridges pays homage to his mother with a soft purple and yellow-colored KD12 including his mother’s initials on the tongue tag.

Miles Bridge's custom PG 3 is inspired by his favorite animal, the gorilla with a grey-based upper along with hits of purple and accents throughout.

Bruce Brown channels his love for country music into a Kyrie 5 that boasts a mix of yellow, burnt orange and sky blue as a tribute to his favorite country artist.

Dallas point guard Jalen Brunson kept it simple for his PG3 with his team's colors covering the upper that's tagged with an acronym of his mantra “The Magic is in the Work” on the tongue.

Donte DiVincenzo celebrates his close relationship with his mother by using her favorite purple color accenting the white-based KD12.

The color scheme surrounding De'Aaron Fox's custom PG 3 is centered around the color palette of his current Sacramento Kings team and combined with personal details on the inner tongue and the back heel.

The bright red and gold colors used for Darius Garland's Kyrie 5 are inspired by the attention he’s had on him since he was young, and how he is constantly reminded to stay humble.

Jaxson Hayes' new Kyrie 5 sports a navy blue and gold color scheme that serves as a reminder to when he first fell in love with the game in the first grade.

Tyler Herro standout style has transferred over to his opening week PG3 with a bold multi-colored blocking throughout the shoe along with personal details including his nickname 'Boy Wonder' seen on the heel.

De'Andre Hunter's special PG3 pulls from his memory that took place in a childhood gym where his mother used to rebound loose balls for him.

Chandler Hutchison incorporates his high school’s colors into his opening week kicks to acknowledge his coach as a pivotal figure in helping him get noticed by college scouts.

Jonathan Isaac's custom shoes are inspired by his Orlando Magic team and are dedicated to its fans with a simple blue, white, and black color scheme.

Not only does Jaren Jackson Jr. bring energy on the court but also onto his kicks along with a personal message "Much required, much given" printed on the tongue.

Ja Morant combines colors from an assortment of teams throughout his career including Sumter, South Carolina to Murray, Kentucky to Memphis, Tennessee on his Kyrie 5.

Every time Josh Okogie looks down at his PG3, it will serve as a reminder to keep bringing his high-level intensity to every single game.

Royce O'Neale loves candy, so he designed his KD12 to look like his favorite treats while also linking back to his childhood where his history with candy craze started.

Cam Reddish's Kyrie 5 pays tribute to all of the teams that helped propel him to the position he's in today with a red-based upper that's paired with gold and blue accents throughout.

When Jerome Robinson isn't hooping, he is most likely either camping or hiking, which is why his KD12 dons an earthy color palette.

Collin Sexton has created a wildly-colored KD12 along with the acronym of his personal mantra seen on the heel that stands for “Move with a Purpose.”

Anfernee Simons' KD12 fuses of colors from his current NBA team and his Florida high school team along with his home zip code printed on the heel's tab.

Brad Wanamaker tells the story of how he landed onto the NBA after playing with professional teams in France, Germany and Turkey, which are each represented by colors on his shoe.
