There’s the squeak of sneakers on the polished court, the satisfying thump of a ball and the sighs, groans and cheers of the crowd as the players go through the motions. Each of these sensory elements of basketball is sure to give even reluctant spectators a rush. The 2021–2022 NBA season kicks off October 19, just as the WNBA season winds down. Rep your team’s colors, favorite player’s number or treat your feet to a pair of signature sneaks with a few of these must-cop pro-basketball season styles.
Kick It NBA-Style
Slam Dunk Shoes: You don’t have to be a WNBA or NBA star to have bball kicks in team colorways that pack a punch with their technological innovations. For an old-school hoops shoe, Nike Dunks are always a winner. Whether you wear them high or low, cop a pair of these Nike sneaks in your favorite team’s colors.
Catch Air: Fans way back in the ’80s first saw ‘em flying across the court on the feet of His Airness. These days, everyone — young, old, basketball star or sneaker enthusiast — can sport a pair of Jordans. Go retro with a classic Air Jordan 1, or mix it up with a newer model like the AJ 36.
Whether you’re a lifelong NBA fan or a new WNBA supporter, a Nike or Mitchell & Ness NBA basketball jersey or WNBA jersey is an absolute must. Sure, you can wear your current favorite player’s jersey, or you can rep those legends like LeBron, Shaq and Iverson with retro styles. More of a T-shirt wearer? Go for the win in a comfy cotton shirt complete with graphic renditions of your NBA teams.
Finish off those jerseys or tees and your bball passion with licensed team shorts from Mitchell & Ness, too. Each pair of Swingman shorts features a well-ventilated polyester-mesh material with an NBA logo embroidered on the leg, so you can show off your allegiance to the Lakers, the Celtics or the Rockets.
In a chilly arena or hanging out with friends this fall? Celebrate the NBA with a satin style, like the Bulls Bred Track Jacket. Finish your fit with a snapback or strapback NBA hat with a straight brim and embroidered logo.
All About That Swag
Practice your free throws by carting an NBA ball bag to the gym after school or after work. Speaking of balls, take those shots with worthy options from Nike, Wilson’s NBA and WNBA lines. When you’re ready to host a playoffs party at your crib, stock up on NBA cornhole and ring toss tailgating games.
