When Dwight Howard takes the court to do battle with the Boston Celtics this evening, he’ll be wearing the adidas TS Commander LT, Adi’s ’09-10 evolution of the reliable TS Commander.

Who else is feeling the extended ribbing along the hemline to form the “X”? Classic? World B.’s “Hot Soup” logo is stitched onto the rear for added flavor.
