It’s awards night in the NBA, and in a league that’s known to be one of the most fashionable in professional sports, you had to be expecting the players to come out rocking some great looks. 

Newly-crowned NBA Champion and the league’s Most Improved Player, Pascal Siakam, showed up to the red carpet looking as spicy as usual, this time donning some pretty nifty looking kicks. 

 

 

Siakam, a proud Cameroon native that proudly reps his African roots, revealed that the colours of the shoes reminded him of his home country, which he also shouted out in his acceptance speech.

 

 

Even without the sentimental meaning, these kicks look awesome, but just knowing the connections make them even better.
