Is Adidas really the sole licensing holder of the NBA? Ever since the Adidas news surfaced, many Nike basketball creations have surfaced to everybody’s liking. One sneaker that has been getting rave reviews is the Nike Hyperdunk. Recently, at the first NBA basketball game held outdoors in Indian Wells, California, more than half of the players were seen wearing Nike Hyperdunks. Players such as Raja Bell, Boris Diaw, and Ruben Patterson were seen ballin’ in them.

Who knows how much traction they had out there with the cool desert air circulating throughout the hardwood! Matter of fact many of the players complained about court traction and chilly weather. Shaq was quoted as saying, “It was colder than a mother—— out there. And you can quote me on that.”

As basketball season approaches, it is safe to say the Nike Hyperdunk is now the face of basketball.
