We're down to the finals games of the NBA regular season, but Nike Basketball athletes continue to impress with their on-court footwear.  Rudy Gay headlines last week's recap, debuting three new Raptors PE colorways of the Air Max Hyperposite.   After wearing one of the best Air Max Hyperposite PE's in the first part of the season with Memphis Grizzlies, Rudy finally got his exclusive Raptors colorways from Nike over the past week, with three awesome make ups in matte grey, metallic silver and red.  Which of the three is your favorite?

The Nike Basketball Elite Kobe 8, LeBron X and KD V also makes the news for this past week, who each made their on-court debut being worn by their three signature athletes.  Kobe's season unfortunately came to an end in only his second game in the Kobe 8 Elite, after tearing his achilles tendon. 

In retro news, two old LeBron models made appearances this week, with Derrick Williams in the LeBron 7 "Red Carpet" and Nick Young breaking out a pair of the White/Gold Zoom Lebron III's.  Jarrett Jack also used the excuse of the NBA's Green Week to break out a pair of the newly re-released Zoom Hyperflight in Kobe Bryant's colorway.
