It is very evident that New York Knicks power forward Amar’e Stoudemire loves wearing basketball sneakers with velcro straps. During the 2009-2010 NBA season, he rocked Kevin Durant’s Nike Zoom KD II and laced up the Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer every game of the 2010-2011 NBA season. Recently, STAT was spotted at the Nike Basketball Amare Stoudemire Skills Academy wearing the newly-designed Nike Air Max Sweep Thru model. It too possesses a velcro strap construction; this time, we see a one-of-a-kind midfoot strap provides stability over the entire foot. Nike also incorporated a lightweight injected Phylon midsole and an Air Max unit in the heel. Look for the Nike Air Max Sweep Thru to hit retailers in multiple colorways during the months of October and November.
