Sole Watch: Best NBA PE Sneakers of April

A look at the best Player Exclusives worn on the NBA court throughout the month of April.

words // Zack Schlemmer

It's the last weekend of the month, and that means it's time to take a look back at all of the best player exclusive models worn on the NBA court throughout the month.

April saw the beginning of the playoffs, which brings out the debut of new models like Chris Paul's Air Jordan CP3.VII AE, Stephen Curry's Under Armor Clutchfit Drive, and LeBron James' Nike LeBron XI Elite (which he's actually wearing).  Elsewhere you'll see new PE colorways of the latest Nike performance models like the Zoom Crusader and Zoom HyperRev. To top it all off, the most notable PE of the month would have to be Russell Westbrook's Thunder colorway of the Air Jordan XX9, which made the model's on-court debut in Game 1 of the Oklahoma City's matchup against Memphis.

Check out all of the best PE's from the first few games of the NBA playoffs below along with a selection of the best from the end of the regular season. What was your favorite PE of the month?
