There’s an obvious reason the Thunder lost to the Mavericks on Wednesday night: It’s gotta be the shoes.
Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant broke out his new sneakers and most of his teammates also joined the action — sporting the bright Creamsicle Nike shoes.
A new, less-blinding design may need to be in the works after Durant matched his lowest scoring outing of the season — 12 points — and ended his streak of nine straight games scoring 25 or more.
Nike has shown their “cutting edge” designs every time the Oregon Ducks football team marches on the field and now their flashy style can be seen on one of the brightest young stars on the hardwood.
At least the shoes averted the attention away from the Thunder getting outscored 29-18 in the fourth quarter to lose by 14 points in one of their only nationally-televised games of the season.
