A little bit of the old mixed with a little bit of the new in NBA #SoleWatch this week.

Most notably, New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis was finally able to ditch his custom Nike Kobe 10 Elites for legit Player Exclusives from Nike. Porzingis debuted "Home" and "Away" colorways, earning him a spot in the rankings for the first time this season.

Despite only playing one game last week, Kobe Bryant makes another Power Rankings appearance after lacing up a brand new Nike Kobe 11 PE. Not only did Kobe wear his new kicks, but he gave them to two young fans in the crowd after a round of trivia.

See where Kobe, Kristaps and other NBA sneakerheads land in the #SoleWatch Power Rankings below.
