The 11 Best Sneakers Dropping at NBA All-Star Weekend 2025

Over the years, the allure of the NBA All-Star Game has diminished slightly. The league has tried a bunch of different quirks and formats in an effort to get the players on the court to care more about a largely meaningless exhibition—the latest of which involves a mini tournament of four teams. Even the marquee events surrounding the game like the Slam Dunk Contest don’t draw big names anymore (Mac McClung, going for a historic threepeat in this year’s competition, is a G-League guy). One thing that hasn’t changed, though? All-Star Weekend remains the biggest sneaker showcase of the year.

From on-court colorways to signature silhouette debuts to lifestyle kicks, brands in the sneaker and sportswear space use ASW as a jumping-off point for the year ahead. All-Star 2025, which kicks off in the Bay Area today, is no exception. Some of the biggest drops of the year are landing in the next few days, from the greatest sneaker of all time to some fire on-court colorways. Here’s everything you need to know about the best sneakers dropping during All-Star Weekend 2025.

Nike Kobe 6 Protro All-Star 2.0

Given that Kobe Bryant was an 18-time All-Star with one of Nike’s best signature lines of all time, it’d be a crime for there not to be at least one killer Mamba drop every February. This year’s edition pays homage to his ASW exploits, with the Kobe 6’s typical scales pattern replaced with an array of diamonds and stars. The kicks were released early, on February 13, with pairs now available through resale platforms.

Reebok Engine A

We haven’t seen Reebok in the proper performance space in some time, but the brand is primed to make their grand return this year with the futuristic Engine A, their first basketball shoe in years. You can pick up the debut colorway—a slick metallic silver—right now at Reebok for $120.

Air Jordan 1 ’85 ‘Bred’

We’re not sure what else there is to say about the greatest sneaker of all time, but we did our best. What’s sure to go down as the most coveted sneaker of the year goes on sale today for $250 at select Jordan retailers, but good luck securing a pair of your own–this release is limited to just 10,000 units.

Air Jordan 1 ‘Black Toe Reimagined’

For those of us not lucky enough to bag a pair of Breds, fear not—this year’s ASW comes with not one, but two classic Jordan 1 colorways. This one, the people’s champion, is part of the Air Jordan ‘Reimagined’ series, providing some subtle updates on the classic ‘Black Toe’ colorway. Peep the off-white sole and old-school Air Jordan logo on the ankle. You can pick these up for $180 on February 15 via SNKRS.

Adidas AE1 Low ‘Champagne’

There’s still nothing on the modern performance market that can hold a candle to Anthony Edwards’ first signature silhouette. The low-cut version hits ASW this year in a golden champagne colorway to commemorate a breakout year for the young star. You can cop this one now for $110 via Adidas and Foot Locker.

New Balance 1000 x Bricks & Wood ‘A Different Bounce’

This isn’t the first time South Central-based Bricks & Wood have collaborated with New Balance, but their All-Star offerings feel like something of a second debut. The brand is offering their take on the New Balance 1000 lifestyle silhouette in cozy, Oakland-friendly green and gold, as well as a vibrant yellow take on the New Balance Fresh Foam BB v3 basketball shoe. The 1000 drops today for $140 and the Fresh Foam on February 15 for $160, both at the brand’s All-Star Weekend pop-up.

Nike KD4 ‘Scoring Title’

One of the quieter bright spots of Nike’s basketball line over the last year or so has been the return of several killer Kevin Durant signature silhouettes and colorways. For ASW 2025, they’re bringing back the KD4 ‘Scoring Title,’ a colorway produced to commemorate the Slim Reaper’s scoring title win from the 2011-2012 season. These are out today at SNKRS for $130.

Anta Kai Speed 1 ‘Bag Work’

Ever since they signed Kyrie Irving following his Nike split in 2023, China’s Anta has been a brand to watch in the hoops space. Irving’s first Anta signature model has been a smash hit that’s helped the company’s profile expand substantially in the States (you can find them in most Foot Lockers now). For All-Star Weekend, his Kai 1 Speed silhouette drops in a colorway inspired by one of Irving’s more unique training methods: doing dribbling drills with the ball wrapped in a plastic shopping bag. The shoe are available now via Anta’s website for $125.

Nike Book 1 ‘Forrest Gump’

One of the hottest silhouettes in the league combined with one of the most beloved movie kicks of all time. Enough said. These are available now at Foot Locker for $140.

Shoe Palace x Adidas Superstar II ‘Dame Time’

It ain’t all about signature sneakers for All-Star Weekend. The Stripes are using the platform to launch one of many upcoming hot Adidas Superstar collaborations, this one with one of their most high-profile athletes in Damian Lillard. Dame Dolla’s take on the Superstar II pastes Oakland green stripes over an off-white upper, finished off with his logo in gold foil on the heel. Limited pairs are available through the Shoe Palace website for $110, while another batch drops in-person at the Bay Area store over All-Star Weekend.

Adidas Crazy 2 ‘All-Star’

We started with Kobe, so let’s close it out that way. While release details remain scarce for this one, Adidas is rumored to be using All-Star Weekend to launch a retro of the Crazy 2, the silhouette that Bryant hated so much he broke from his Adidas contract. It’s a polarizing shoe for sure, but one that holds an important place in sneaker history. You can expect a wider release at a later date, but this one should be making its debut via shock-drop or pop-up of some sort over the course of All-Star Weekend.
