Unexpected snubs. NBA and WNBA crossover. All-Star performance shoes of 2024. Here’s what you can expect at the 2024 All-Star weekend.

As the regular season ends, the NBA has begun to announce the starting five of the All-Star teams in the East and West divisions. The news that has sparked the most debate amongst NBA fans and players has been the questionable snubs this year. De’Aaron Fox, Rudy Gobert, James Harden, and Trae Young could have easily replaced some of the reserves – a choice that has left many confused. 

Despite this, we’re still excited to see the crossover between the NBA and WNBA as for the first time in the league’s history, the highest 3-points scorer Stephan Curry will go head-to-head with last year’s 3-points contest winner, Sabrina Ionescu, who’s top score of 37 points outshines Curry’s 31 points. 

The 2024 All-Star weekend is definitely an exciting one to watch, with signature players set to debut special colorways of their sneakers on the court. We’ve compiled a list of models that will be released in time for the exciting weekend.
