In a rematch of the NBA Finals, the Magic played a heated game against Lakers in Orlando on Sunday. Things were chippy between Kobe Bryant and Matt Barnes, who got tangled up and bumped chests several times during the game. Pau Gasol got slapped with a flagrant foul when he landed a karate chop on a Dwight Howard two-handed slam. Both teams battled hard and brought everything they had to the court.
But Howard also brought something new to the court: A pair of adidas TS Supernatural Commanders, a players-edition with a Superman colorway that stuck out more than Dwight's 15 points and 16 boards.
The yellow straps, red collar, and blue airsole are fashioned to resemble Superman's costume, yet these shoes ditch the clown look of the previous Superman Commander adidas designed for Howard during the 2009 All-Star weekend.
Those shoes didn't get the best reception among the sneakerhead community, but the kicks Howard rocked on Sunday replaced the bright perforated blue with a black speckled vamp that makes the design more subtle, even with the flashy straps and colorway.
And, the TS Commanders are said to be the lightest shoes Howard has worn since he's been on the Commander label.
Quickness, power and now the costume to match. The next thing Superman needs is that ring he's been chasing.
