this is now a thing

or it will be as of sometime this week

apparently the sock-esque protuberance is a "calf-length compression sleeve" that i guess is built into these shoes

yeah durant wore them for warmups but hasn't warn them in a game yet iirc

Wouldn't that cause more knee injuries / wear+tear?

not sure why it would? just socks more or less.

I remember reading somewhere that the more you immobilize the ankles, the more stress goes into the knees. So if they're just compression socks, maybe not?

this is going to end with players in full body compression iron man/ greenscreen suits up to their necks and in 2023 some young hotshot will start covering his head and then THAT'S gonna be a thing

durant looks like a double amputee there

logo patch approved. supposedly gonna bring an extra 100 milli + in per year.

BREAKING: Adam Silver said it's likely Hornets will have Brand Jordan logo on jerseys in 2017-18, not the Nike logo like rest of league.

love my brands

wow p nice imo

Font is ugly but otherwise looks pretty good IMO.

im kinda feeling the font tho wldve been better if they went all the way blocky for that 8-bit look

The crown is hella bizarre to me

its supposed to depict depth but just ends up looking weird and abstract

file under inspired by stussy

http://i.imgur.com/aQqF3l9.png

unbelievable, they wearing them at home too!

that crown reminds me of

http://i.imgur.com/qmzMUij.jpg

appropriate to the kings basketball organisation

with the full name, i like it but with just "SAC" it looks a bit like a distended testicle and once seen that cannot be unseen

buzz city

pls stop

Really like the color scheme of the buzz city unis. Actually like everything about those minus the sleeves and the fact that they say buzz city.

guy who doesn't live in Charlotte: hey I'm thinking of visiting Charlotte, what's the most notable thing about your town
Charlotte guy: we have so many bees that we call it buzz city. We love our fantastic bees.

Bees are v important haven't u heard they are all dying

its official

http://www.nba.com/kings/NewLogo

nice, i like it a lot more with the white outline

interested to see what they come up w for unis

yeah it makes way more sense with the white outline. i thought the crown looked random as fuck otherwise.

http://i.imgur.com/cYsXmUL.png

Very nice! I mean the logo, not the tattoos.

lol http://newsok.com/article/5495252

russ is so weird

the weirdest

cn we talk abt those uniforms for a sec theyre like the least basketball uniform uniforms ever they look like a white tee, i think they shd go all the way w it tho all white except team/name/number

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CheG_TyUoAAXmEU.jpg

lmao love it, they should all wear damn daniels with it as well

those white ones are prob the best okc unis but the stripes on the pants are nonsensical. it's like someone designed good uniforms and was like "wait these are for okc they have to be hideous in some way"

those road blues are horrible too

time was a man could cream the city all night if he so pleased, these days they say it interferes with the digital

thanks Obama

ja is officially bigtime

Might be one color too many (probably the green), but I think I love them.

seems like it would be pretty sweet to drop kyrie and work with ja instead

wonder if theyll keep making the kyrie just not call it the kyrie seems like prob its pretty popular

These seem like Kyries good move Nike

oh no lol

First look at the Jordan JT1, Jayson Tatum's signature shoes pic.twitter.com/dyNig0yFuN

smh

what if he's sabotaging his own jordan shoe to diminish the brand and make kobe seem cooler

i dont understand how jordans can make some of the best sneakers "jordans" and also the worst "the other sneakers they make" i feel like they might do it on purpose to not take the shine off jordans

lol xp that shoe is so bad were immediately hatching multiple conspiracy theories

i have liked a couple westbrooks tbf

but point stands

would be cool if they were high heels

the cool wesbrooks were based on the current jordans tho (bizarro jordans why not)

i had a pair of non jordan jordans that i liked then when i did my research it turned out they were based on an early unreleased design for jordan 5s lol

i think melo had one or two cool models but they were prob too cool so they said nevermind

also had some cp3 Js i loved to play in, this exact one:

i like them better now

all shoes are bad, those are particularly bad tho

ah wait this is the thread

brooklyn’s desaturated court is a crime, everyone looks like a ghoul on tv, greenish pallor and so forth. can’t believe they’re not rethinking this

its really bad, the warriors have one like it now with their rose city editions unis and it looks horrible

just awful there are a number of them out there now what with all these alt courts tho i think the nets is the worst its not just gray its a weird taupe with all the genericness of gray plus some bonus nastiness thrown in

the dubs one is extra bad how the out of bounds area is a gradient from black to flat gray, the gray end is terrible with the gray stained court and the painted grey meeting it looks not just bad but actually wrong

total airbnbcore lol the nets court has or at least even had a subway tile motif around the edges too shd get some reclaimed wood in there

look how fucked up that is

this ball movement >>>

nets court has some special wood pattern that might be cool under different circumstances but then its covered in weird logos and just looks busy and its a bad color too

i can't quite make it out there but in the past i think i've assumed it's actually a herringbone pattern? which as you say is a cool idea, but nothing looks good grayscale like that. i'm tempted to say there's something actually objectively bad about the gray in terms of television color balance - it really does seem like my tv struggles to give guys the skin color of actually alive human beings - but i'm also happy to allow that it's probably just a lifetime of watching basketball that's having the effect of an optical illusion when looking at courts like this, that the desaturation is everywhere, not just on the floor.

the black end of the warriors' court looks pretty cool actually but yeah the gray end is like... the webpage stopped loading

The Warriors court looks like the gray vinyl floor in an “open one bedroom” Seattle apartment built exclusively for single 20-something software engineers

just now realising that i've been unconsciously blaming jay-z for the nets' court. i've always just assumed that his "fashion" background came into play here and he pulled rank and was like, jabbing at moodboards with a cigar in his hand, and that week he was really into herringbone so it's like, herringbone it is, also make the uniforms black - can somebody check the sales figures on black uniforms across the league please? oh, it is? yes right away mr carter - also the court should be black. well it can't be black that'll look terrible. gray? okay let's compromise on gray

it is herringbone but i think theres also something about the wood or how its finished thats different too you can see the grain more and it looks kind of shimmery, doesnt really come through on the twitter vid obvs

jayz sold his nets stake before the gray court but its still kind of his fault since he did come up with the old navy ass black unis, generally the whole nets brooklyn schtick is just unbearable, when you go there live they play like 20 jayz songs a game and yell where brooklyn its so lame complete marketing brain

then u go to a knicks game and it has an impeccable crappy old new york charm and you realize the nets will never prosper

lol “open one bedroom” had not heard that one

i think the warriors court is actually worse than the nets. so washed out and lifeless

lol “open one bedroom” had not heard that one

it's a studio except there's a sleeping area without a window in it that's partially enclosed!

ah very nice sounds good

These Jazz ‘forms have really grown on me this season.

Yah they really fine on tv

ill have to check the thread for who was saying theyre not actually that bad while everyone said that liking them was evidence of being in league with the devil

they still look like some ncaa 15 seed that won the MAC tournament to me

i think the design is pretty good, stylistically it doesnt speak to me but theyre well executed, they understand what theyre about

They shoulda just done their purple and gold colors and not highlighter yellow is the biggest prob I think

yeah im against fluorescents in general

also dont like the super minimalist stuff tbf but they at least understood how to do it right
