An Active History
Hooded sweatshirts dated back to the 1930s when they became popular with workers trying to shield themselves from the cold outdoors. Their function isn’t dramatically different today, although they can be used to put in a whole different kind of work. Keeping your look on point at all times isn’t always easy, after all. But a wide variety of basketball-inspired hoodies can make it look easy as a vital part of your rotation, whether it’s on-court or on-couch.
The Nike Throwback and Nike Hardwood hoodies make it the “Summer of Love” year-round with a 1960s-inspired tie-dyed look. Both also feature a horizontal zippered pocket across the front, in addition to the traditional kangaroo pockets.
Nike’s Standard Issue hoodie also features the horizontal zippered pocket but with allover single-color backing.
The multi-color Jordan Legacy of Sport pullover gets kids into the game with colorblocks of fun, energetic hits of color that revives 1990s style.
Outfit Yourself in Air Apparel
When it’s game time, whether you’re playing in a pickup game or kicking back and watching the world’s finest athletes on TV, basketball jerseys will have you ready for tip-off.
Show the pride of nations with the Nike basketball jersey in Nigerian national soccer colors, and the Nike States USA jersey. Or go league-wide with the Nike NBA Swingman jersey in official team logos and colors.
Give yourself room to move in breezy, comfortable basketball shorts. Nike Icon shorts give you the moisture-wicking comfort of Dri-FIT to keep you feeling dry, with a Jacquard knit that will have you looking good enough for game time. The Nike Fastbreak 11” shorts offer similar game-ready construction with longer coverage.
Build From the Ground up
You already know that any great basketball-inspired look is built from the ground up. Basketball shoes give you what you need: high performance and high style. Signature series like the Nike LeBron 17 line, the KD 13, and the Kyrie 7 will connect you with some of the game’s biggest stars. Other kicks like the Jordan Air Raid throw you back to early ’90s heat, and the Nike Kybrid mashes up stunning colors on the Kyrie lineup.
