Kicks On Court: Who Owns the Best Zoom Uptempo V PE?
Posted by George Kiel III | Nov 18, 2009|
This year, Nike’s latest basketball models, such as the Hyperize, and the Hypermax, have overshadowed the classic retros. Specifically, we have really only seen one classic retro in the form of Delonte West’s Nike Air Max2 CB94. However, throughout our Kicks On Court this year, we have spotted two players sporting a classic Nike retor in PE colorways. New Jersey Nets small forward Chris Douglas-Roberts and Oklahoma City Thunder starting point guard Russell Westbrook have both worn the Nike Zoom Uptempo V this year. Westbrook’s PE features a mainly black base with orange and blue accents, while Douglas-Roberts’s PE possesses a white/blue-red color scheme. Both colorways are very nice; however, which PE interests you the most? Click here to voice your opinion and look at other sneakers worn by LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Dwyane Wade and others. |

Zoom Flight Five B = Name of the shoe designed for J-Kidd, while J-Kidd were signed with Nike
Zoom Uptempo V = Name of the shoe designed for J-Kidd… in a Nike Kidd-less era!!
It is the same thing that happened to the C-Webb shoes (renamed Air Max Sensation) or the upcoming Garnett III retro (renamed Air Max 3)… Copyright issues, I guess.
