NBA sneakers of the night: Karl-Anthony Towns breaks franchise record in Hyperdunk and more

March 29, 2018 will be a date that Karl-Anthony Towns and Kemba Walker will never forget. Towns scored a franchise-record 56 points in the Nike Hyperdunk as the Wolves defeated the Hawks, 126-114, and Walker’s 21 points put him ahead of Dell Curry as the Hornets’ new all-time leading scorer.

Ricky Rubio debuted a cancer awareness custom that paid homage to his mother and former coach Flip Saunders, while teammate Rudy Gobert had a custom of his own, honoring one of his favorite video games. Kyle Kuzma brought out an early Kobe Bryant model and Lonzo Ball wore a Lakers-colored Big Baller Brand sneaker.

D’Angelo Russell wore the latest PG2 silhouette that Nike-sponsored teams in the NCAA Tournament have been wearing during March and Tobias Harris’ kicks paid homage to his Alma Mater and one of the Clippers’ alternate uniforms.

Check out yesterday’s best kicks from around the league.
