NBA Sneaker Watch // Nike Basketball Weekly Recap - Week 2

It's time to review the past week in Nike Basketball footwear on the NBA court. This week Derrick Williams highlights the hardwood in the Nike Air Flight One "Galaxy".

words // Zack Schlemmer

It was another great week on court for Nike Basketball, as players seem to be breaking out more and more retro heat, in favor of the high performance standards like the Hyperdunk and Hyperfuse.  Derrick Williams highlights this week, wearing the coveted Air Flight One "Galaxy"  for two games as well as the LeBron 9 "China" versus the Bulls.  Elsewhere, "Swaggy P" Nick Young was spotted in Nike Basketball classics with both the Air Go LWP and Zoom Flight Five iD. Rajon Rondo and Paul George opted for the Foamposite One again this week, with Rondo breaking out the upcoming "Stealth" colorway.  We also were delighted to see the return of Rasheed Wallace to the NBA court in, of course, an Air Force 1 PE.

Apart from the retro models, there were plenty of performance-minded models like various players wearing the Hyperfuse, Hyperdunk, and Hyperposite.  And what would a Nike Basketball showcase be without LeBron and Kobe?
