The Nike Hyperdunk was arguably the best basketball sneaker in 2008 (see Kixpys). Almost every NBA player, not signed to Jordan, Adidas, Reebok or Converse wore the Hyperdunk at least once. In 2009, we have seen the Hyperdunk just as much; however, other Nike basketball sneakers have entered the mix such as the Huarache ’09 and this Nike Zoom Phenom. Last night, Memphis Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay and Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams both wore the Nike Zoom Phenom in its respective team’s colorway. In our Kicks On Court, we have also seen Portland Trail Blazers forward Brandon Roy sporting the Phenom as well. If you recall, this same trio of players wore the Nike Air Blue Chip for the majority of 2008. Click the jump to check out the new Nike Zoom Phenom and other sneakers worn by Michael Finley, Kobe Bryant. T.J. Ford, LeBron James, O.J. Mayo and others. |
