Rio had a contract with Adidas since his rookie year that he continued honoring through the start of this year, but eventually began wearing LeBron's most recent signature shoe (predominantly the 'Freegums' version, designed by my friend's ex's sister's boyfriend [within 6 degrees of separation!]), and since has been rocking Jordans (under the Nike Brand umbrella, so maybe he has a Nike deal now?). Not sure what the ones are he's been rocking lately, as they're all black and hard to tell (though I know they're Jordans), but at home I know he's worn the Jordan XI Concords that were re-released recently. So he's been wearing a bunch of different shoes, apparently either LeBrons or assorted Jordans.

Mike Miller has exclusively been wearing Kevin Durant's newest shoe, which is a lowtop.

Norris mostly wears some generic Nike bball shoe that I've seen a lot of guys rocking around the league. Don't know the name, but it probably has "hyper" in it. He's also occasionally worn LeBrons.

Bosh has exclusively been wearing special player exclusive versions of the 2011 Nike Hyperdunk.

Udonis has been wearing some model of Converse all year. No idea what they're called. He went from Nike to Converse (though Converse is owned by Nike) a few years ago.

James Jones usually wears LeBrons, though last year's version.

Juwan Howard wears different Jordans every game. He's been with Jordan Brand throughout his career and is from Chicago.

Not sure on Curry/Pitt/Joel. I think all wear generic Nikes, though Curry wore LeBrons to LeBrons bday/New Years bash.

I think that about covers it.

Sort of. PEAK makes exclusive shoes for all its players (I believe.) Dorell signed with them when he left Miami. While they're not available to be purchased, they all get their own exclusives. For instance, they made ones for Shane for the XMas game that had little Santas on the back.

Nevermind, not only are they exclusive models, but you can buy them.

And...just by coincidence. HEAT announce they've signed a multi-year deal with PEAK today. (Although I've been seeing the logo on the stanchions for awhile this season.)
