#SoleWatch: NBA Power Rankings for January 17

After more than a year of waiting, the Air Jordan XXX was finally unveiled this week. Fittingly, it was Russell Westbrook who had the opportunity to debut the shoe on-court — and he did so with a triple-double. For now, Westbrook is wearing launch colorways, but the sneaker community awaits his OKC-themed PEs.

The Nike Kobe 11 is starting to make its way into a few more rotations, but Kobe Bryant's Player Exclusives are stealing the show. Mamba rocked three Lakers-inspired make-ups this week to hold a strong position on the list.

Cleveland's All-Star tandem of LeBron James and Kyrie Irving continue to keep their signature shoes fresh by steadily introducing new custom on-court options. James even took a break from his game shoe to play in the Soldier 9 team model earlier in the week.

Check out this week's #SoleWatch Power Rankings to see where everybody lands.
