During the course of the last few years, there has been a culture change around the world of professional sports focused on the footwear of the athletes with various inspired looks.
This rings quite true with the NBA especially with Tuesday marking another major holiday in Halloween. With that in mind, Sacramento Kings rookie point guard De'Aaron Fox has jumped into the action as he's set to don a pair of Joker-inspired Nike Kobe ADs for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

These are unique shoes with the color scheme that the infamous Batman villain has been known to wear in the various cartoon and comics over the years. At the same time, it provides another way to promote the sneaker in a way that will appeal to a larger demographic.




That said, Minnesota Timberwolves star big man Karl-Anthony Towns may have one-upped Fox with his footwear for Monday's game against the Miami Heat that was inspired by the horror film character Jason.
