There’s no doubt that the most well known of Ray Allen player exclusives is the Air Jordan XIII thanks to the retail release that was given to the Celtics flavored sneaker a few years ago. Taking things back a notch as far as the original chronology of the Air Jordan lineup is this similar blocking for the Air Jordan XII. Along with the Boston based colors the pair also sees a little bit of ‘Sugar Ray’ embroidery along the back.

Now that the dust has settled on all the NBA action that went down on Christmas day of 2012, Jordans Daily is coming through with a recap for you of all the Air Jordans that were flying around. And there were quite a few of them: Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul both rocked with their Christmas-special signature releases, Russell Westbrook hit the court with a brand new Air Jordan XX8 colorway, and Blake Griffin did a two-pair switch up. All those and more are waiting for you after the jump in our complete Air Jordan NBA Christmas sneakers roundup.

Jordan Brand made certain that its athletes were dressed in their Christmas best yesterday, with Ray Allen among them once again getting blessed by a couple late era Air Jordan PEs. Sugar Ray wore two separate pairs during the December 25th game-an Air Jordan XVIII and an Air Jordan XX both colored up in a cheery red to go with the Heat’s holiday look. Stay with us after the jump to get a close up look at both and tell us what you think of Ray Allen’s recent string of player exclusives.

Our episode of The Daily Jordan today is one of very few Ray Allen player exclusives to make their way to an eventual retail release, the Air Jordan VIII pictured hitting at House of Hoops by Foot Locker locations back in 2008. Of course “retail release” is a pretty relative term here, with allegedly just 24 pairs being up for grabs for the public back in January of 2008. Click through our gallery for a full look at the Air Jordan VIII ‘Ray Allen’ and check out the price on em from depeche23mode on eBay.

It’s pretty hard to top that NBA All-Star Air Jordan XX3 PE made for Ray Allen that we showed you a few months back, but perhaps this Celtics special can drum up similar levels of excitement. The Boston combo goes heavy on the black, an ‘Away’ version sporting Ray’s #20 from that era in his career on the tongue of the left sneaker.

Just another stray pair from Ray Allen’s long lineage of Air Jordan player exclusives. This time around it’s the Air Jordan XVII, as worn by Sugar Ray back during his days with the Milwaukee Bucks. The original release of this particular silhouette along with the tongue tag production date point to these being whipped up in 2002, no doubt putting them pretty close to being the first Air Jordan PE ever made for Ray.
