The 2017 NBA All-Star Game was less than a week ago, but with Thursday's NBA trade deadline frenzy, it's easy to forget the wave of impressive kicks that made their debut last weekend. With New Orleans once again providing an appropriately fun and jovial backdrop, many of the sneakers featured tributes to the colorful and historic Louisiana city. It's easy to get caught up in the vibe of the Big Easy, and it's clear sneaker brands didn't hold back.

From Nike's Black History Month-themed sneakers to a supreme collab in the Slam Dunk Contest, these were the best kicks from NBA All-Star Weekend.
