words // Brandon Richard

It's been five days since the 2014 NBA Draft, and a few teams have been eager to get their high-profile rookies in uniform for press releases and portraits.

While we're still waiting for the official Rookie Photo Shoot, several big names from this year's draft have already suited up in their new digs. Along with the unis, new sneakers, some of which are a product of freshly inked endorsement deals. We know Jabari Parker has landed with Jordan Brand, Dante Exum with adidas and Julius Randle with Nike. Andrew Wiggins' deal hasn't been announced, but he made his first impression as a pro in a pair of classic Air Jordans.

See what some of this year's top rookies wore for their introductory pressers in a special edition of Sole Watch.
