Bad news this week, as Rajon Rondo will be out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL, which means we also lose a regular headliner to the Nike Basketball NBA Sneaker Watch. Rondo will be missed in the weekly look at Nike Basketball footwear in the NBA, since he always seemed to break out new surprises almost every week.
At least he went out with a bang, wearing a very eye-catching metallic Air Max Hyperposite PE against the New York Knicks earlier this week, which were good enough for their own feature. He also wore the new Zoom Hyperdisruptor model in what would be his final week of the season, a shoe that seems to be catching on across the league with multiple sightings from players like Tyreke Evans, Jeff Green and Al Jefferson.
Getting back to the Air Max Hyperposite, Anthony Davis wore an awesome teal, black and yellow pair this week, which are definitely one of the best colorways we've seen so far this season.
Making the top of the retro model headlines this week is DeMar DeRozan, who laced up a pair of the "Gym Green" Foamposite Pro to go along with the camouflage Raptors uniforms. Thomas Robinson of the Kings also wore his "Pearl" Foamposite Pros again this week, which we saw in a previous Sneaker Watch. Some other Nike Basketball classics that were spotted this week include Al-Farouq Aminu in the Air Max 2 Strong retro, and Rudy Gay wearing the Air Max Uptempo.
Check out all the rest below, and let us know what your favorite Nike Basketball kicks were in last week's NBA action.
