#SoleWatch: Stanley Johnson Wraps Up Freshman Season in the 'Christmas' Nike Kobe 7

Johnson ends the year in style.

by Brandon Richard

Arizona forward Stanley Johnson's impressive freshman campaign came to an end tonight, as the Wildcats were knocked out the NCAA Tournament by the Wisconsin Badgers.

Johnson, a projected lottery pick in this year's NBA Draft should he enter, has been one of college basketball's top sneakerheads this season and didn't disappoint with his Elite Eight kicks. He went with the 'Christmas' Nike Kobe 7, a 2011 release that doesn't quite line up with the Cats' unis, but definitely makes a statement on-court.

If Johnson does make the leap, NBA #SoleWatch will be even more interesting next season.
