Bobby Hurley Wears Yeezys at Pac-12 Media Day
Most basketball fans are focused on the NBA right now. But the NCAA season is gearing up quickly. Over the past few weeks, teams have held various events and represented their schools at conference media days.
Media days are always fun to cover. Players put on new uniforms, lace up a fresh pair of kicks, and answer questions. It's giving first-day-of-school vibes.
Yesterday, the Pac-12 hosted its Media Day, and the Arizona State Sun Devils were represented by head coach Bobby Hurley as well as DJ Horne and Desmond Cambridge Jr.
Cambridge's Adidas Crazy 1 'Metallic Silver' shoes (formerly known as The Kobe) caught everyone's eyes. Meanwhile, the chyron was specifically placed to the left of center compared to other shots to cover up Hurley's kicks.
The Sun Devils head coach picked an inopportune time to wear his Adidas Yeezy sneakers. One day prior, the German company cut ties with the controversial rapper following a series of antisemitic statements.

Was Hurley trying to make a controversial statement with his footwear? Of course not. He is a 51-year-old college basketball coach who most likely spends very little time thinking about his kicks.
But in the words of Mad Men character and Head of Accounts at Stirling Cooper, Pete Campbell, "Not great, Bob!" Oh well, it's preseason for everyone. We have no doubt that Adidas will supply Hurley with new shoes to wear on and off the court this season.
The college basketball season tips off in less than a week, and we cannot wait to see what all the players and coaches are rocking on the hardwood this year. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news.
