For those madly obsessed with the game of basketball, there’s truly never an offseason. While the regular season may have wrapped, the work toward next year or a playoff matchup begins almost instantaneously.
Coming off the heels of March Madness, the NBA Playoffs is set to proffer an elite line-up of star-studded matchups, while the next generation of talent enters the grind of the AAU circuit through the summer.
Once the premier brand on the hardwood, the dominance exuded by adidas Basketball throughout the decades can’t be denied nor seemingly contained. Not only are the Three Stripes outfitting some of the top guards in the League; they are also simultaneously crafting equally innovative toolings across their signature roster.
Boasting a trio of scintillating shot makers and calculated maestros with the rock, James Harden, Trae Young, and Donovan Mitchell will be chasing the Eastern Conference title fueled by Lightstrike and BOOST cushioning.
Whether you’re suiting up alongside Joel Embiid ahead of the 76ers’ first-round matchup against the Brooklyn Nets or showing out in front of collegiate scouts across the country, the German sportswear brand has convened a first-class collection of signature silhouettes for the ensuing season, all of which are currently available at adidas.com.
Featuring a pillowy textured upper that borrows the bold aesthetics of puffer jackets that Harden has affectionately supported on a number of occasions, a wave of premium aesthetics flows through the dimple-stitched side fifth and suede-treated toe cap of the V7. Infused with the Three Stripes’ inaugural Lightstrike cushioning solution and a knit inner bootie, the near entirety of the primary hues associated with the rainbow have touched down on one of the 10-time All-Star’s most compelling compositions.
The hiking boots tory burch miller 50mm lug sole bootie 75437 rhum port boasts a semi-laceless SCK360 knit upper that suctions and molds to your foot while proffering consistent airflow. Most notably, the sole unit underfoot pairs a Lightstrike Strobel with exposed BOOST cushioning, resulting in game-changing comfort and stability. A number of colorways are currently available right now via adidas.com for 50% using code “SNEAKERS.”
Wrapping the forefoot with a LIGHTLOCK upper, the adidas nike alpha huarache varsity 3 low mens metal cleats shoes white lt smoke grey white has explored both inline colorways and jimmy themes, incorporating the likes of The Incredibles, Xbox, and Spider-Man. Mirroring the appearance of the Lightstrike Strobel midsole found in Trae Young’s offering, the silhouette’s initial preview in last year’s Playoffs could potentially signal a first look at Mitchell’s fifth signature over the coming months. In the meantime, you can grab the fourth issue in over 13 colorways right now at adidas.com.
From an updated Lightstrike midsole to a renovated Puremotion outsole, Rose’s initial slate of silhouettes with the German sportwear brand has been reimagined for the future of on-court footwear while infusing the grandeur that once surrounded the three-time All-Star.
