The NBA appears to be attempting to capitalize on the success of the Kanye’s legendary Yeezy line of shoes, with a new release from the PEAK store in China.
Twitter user @Alfred_Julius spotted a pair of PEAK NBA branded shoes that look very similar to the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Pirate Black that were released this past February.

The Yeezy Boost 350 Pirate Black pictured below, have a retail price of $200 but are going for as much as $1000 on ebay. A shoe as popular as this will always inspire copy cats, so it’s not surprising that a competitor would try to ride the Yeezy wave.
