It’s no debate that the most important thing about the Phoenix Suns matchup with the Utah Jazz is getting its third win in four games since taking Bradley Beal out of the starting lineup, but it doesn’t mean they can’t do it in style.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Suns big three comprised of Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant never miss when it comes to footwear, all donning the Swoosh through lucrative Nike deals.
Booker and Durant both have their own signature models and have been breaking out various player exclusives over the course of the season.
For Saturday’s matchup with Utah Jazz, Booker was seen one of his cleanest and most utilized renditions of his Nike Book 1. Book’s “Metallic Purple” PE pays homage to The all white shoe with a shiny purple check pays homage to the 1985 Jordan 1 High.

Durant has a little more skin in the game than Booker as a Nike signature athlete, rocking 17th rendition of his signature KD line.
The 14-time NBA All-Star diverted from Suns colors for the Jazz, wearing a primarily red KD17. The loud red coloring taking over the vast majority of the shoe was balanced by a white quarters with black ribbing, looking more fit for the Toronoto Raptors than Phoenix.

Booker and Durant will always be seen wearing their own models — what better promotion of your own product then balling in it yourself? Beal on the other hand does not have his own signature line, giving him the freedom to dibble-and-dabble in Nike’s seemingly endless vault.
On Saturday, Beal went to Nike’s Jordan section to take on Utah.
In his new — and apparently successful role — off the bench, Beal took the court in a Suns’ colorway of the Air Jordan Heir Series. The primarily white and black shoes has hints of Suns’ purple and orange, including a vibrantly bright orange Jumpman logo.
Beal may not have his own shoe, but he made the pair his own. The three-time All-Star honored his grandmother and kids, writing their names on the sides of his sneakers.

The right shoe doesn’t determine winning or losing. But no matter what way the game goes, you might as well look good while doing it.
