Welcome to our new series, Sixers Kicks here on CrossingBroad dot com, one that was the brainchild of our Under Armour-loving founder, who once claimed the aforementioned company was already the second-most-popular sneaker company on planet Earth:
Yeah, about that. Anyway, let’s take a look at what the stars of your team, your town, your Philadelphia 76ers wore on Wednesday night:

A light color palette sets the tone for Simmons’ season. The green area represents his safe zone around the hoop, the white is indicative of his unwillingness to pull up from midrange, and the red, of course, is the no-fly zone: the dreaded three point arc.

I’m a bit torn on these. It’s clearly an homage to the first shoes Allen Iverson took the court wearing 25 years ago, but I think the aesthetic depends entirely on the person wearing them. You’re drunk uncle on Thanksgiving? No. Josh Richardson, NBA player? Yes.
Bonus: Allen Iverson Matches Richardson
The Answer @alleniverson

Of course he’s rocking the Double Cross. Though, in fairness, he’s old enough to be your uncle.

First thing up about game 1 isn’t a game summary, but a SHOE summary? Get this garbage out of here.
That opening sentence in journalism gold!
Whenever introducing a new column, always make sure you start with an awkwardly worded sentence regarding an inside joke. It really brings people in. And the first visual is a stock quote! Really lets the reader know the post is about sneakers.
