Ladies who want to sport their favorite team’s logo now have a new option — the NBA has released a line of pro-basketball high heels.  The collection of crystal-covered heels are 6-inches high with a 3-inch platform. NecoleBitchie.com reports:

There was a point of time when we were wondering if celebs were overdressing to attend Basketball Games.  Now, women who love to stunt courtside even more of a reason to show off their shoe game.

The NBA has recently linked up with an Orlando-based company called Herstar to create two types of pro-basketball footwear that feature team logos. The collection include a$249.99 crystal-covered, 6-inch heel that has a 3-inch platform; and just in case you don’t want all that bling on your feet, there’s a $99.99 microsuede 4-inch heel that has a 1-inch platform. All of the 30 NBA teams will have heels available for purchase, however, since the company has been waiting on the licensing agreement with the NBA their backorders are in the hundreds already.  The shoes that feature Swarovski Crystals are custom made and takes up to 8 weeks to make.
