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

haha

they made more uniforms

these are clearly renders mb theyre fake idk

they look mostly good!

is the font on that Nets one called Doomed Startup

lol

If real then I really like the bucks and suns. Brooklyn subways kinda work too I guess.

what is earned edition

think its a dom/sub thing

last years playoff teams theyve been doing it for a couple years iirc

it's def sex stuff sorry

we have reached a new level of uniform mania, the uniform schedule

oops

this is what happens when you let kith design your jerseys

Further notes:

Just caught the pacers unis in action and they look really sharp.

In the flipside I saw the wizards and they are even worse than I thought they would be.

My 16 and 19 y/o nephews are in town and they saw the nets basquiats and said “those are doooooope”

The bulls ones didn’t look good to me on tv. The scribbles down the sides look really bad

Percy "Master P" Miller confirms to ESPN that he's in negotiations to acquire Reebok with ex-NBA guard Baron Davis.

"These companies have been benefiting off us, this could be history for this company going Black-owned," Miller tells ESPN.

they got that kind of money?

reset the court haha

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eq7mj23W8AE6nTk?format=jpg&name=medium

Shit needs degaussing

i’m curious if they tried to do a gradient in the paint and it just didn’t work or if they were really going for the neon neapolitan look they ended up with

the raptors are apparently very bad now idk why

replacing marc and serge with aron baynes and alex len did not turn out favorable

yeah fair

Visiting team uniforms really pop against Brooklyn's grayscale color palette:

https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/ish-smith-of-the-washington-wizards-shoots-the-ball-during-the-game-picture-id1230414092

they got that kind of money?

Reebok may not be in the best financial shape these days. The most valuable asset they have might be a recognizable brand name to offset a ton of debt. If they were solidly above water Baron Davis couldn't front enough money to buy them.

theyre pretty huge in the crossfit / tough mudder / spartan / fitness world. pretty much dead for hoops i think outside of releasing new iverson/shaq/kemp colorways every year or whatever.

https://www.reebok.com/us/men-basketball-shoes

according to dan runcie:

Master P enters a crowded field. When the news of Adidas selling Reebok first broke, Authentic Brands Group (ABG) was named as a potential buyer. In 2019, Shaquille O'Neal, an ABG partner, expressed interest in acquiring Reebok since Adidas has "diluted [the brand] so much to where it's almost gone." Other potential buyers include VF Corp, which just bought Supreme for $2.1 billion, and Anta Sports, the third-largest sportswear company by revenue. But those holding companies have portfolios of brands that get sold primarily in department stores. Holding companies succeed on breadth and scale. Reebok's fate could stay the same if it became one of the dozens of brands under those umbrellas.

Master P and Baron Davis offer a different value prop. Percy Miller's business ventures are mostly entrepreneurial. He builds from the ground-up. Percy Miller accumulates his wealth by owning a large share of smaller pies. Reebok is not a smaller pie, but the brand still needs focus. Master P has succeeded in smaller-scale consumer-packaged goods and apparel lines, so that helps. An all-Black Reebok ownership group will inspire some business and get great PR, but this relaunch would still need more. Reebok's comeback needs a level of focus that the brand hasn't had since its 'Rbk' lifestyle days.

Will the deal go through? Master P told CNBC that Reebok is worth $500 million and there's no way he would pay $2.4 billion. It's a negotiation process, but I doubt Adidas sells for just 20% of its asking price. I won't be surprised if ABG, VF Corp, or another buyer is willing to pay $1.5 billion or more for the apparel company that made over $2 billion in revenue in 2019.

this all sounds like a bunch of nonsense!!

lmao what the hell, that rules

amazing

these bizarre vaporwave uniforms and wood colored court look so much better than their usual b&w scheme my lord

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN3HAAOlMFs

Yah thought the same thing when I saw that combo. The greyification of the world must be stopped

otm

We’ve been looking for new floors for our place for like 8 months and we want a really light maple wood look in vinyl plank and it just doesn’t exist. Like 90% of all the vinyl floors available have grey in them and/or are oak.

What’s wrong with using actual wood

4 kids under 11 y/o and the vinyl is like indestructible and waterproof. Also like 1/3 the price

Just put a tarp down until they’re older

Basically where we’re at right now.

this game legitimately looks like some shitty highly stylized hollywood movie shot in black and white w/ little bits of color edited in. zack snyder ass aesthetic
