The Nets, for being so recently updated in terms of stadium, logo, colors, owners, image, etc. have an EXTREMELY old team. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Joe Johnson, Deron Williams. Brook Lopez is their only real youth.
But for being old, they hold their own. With visionary new owners, it's going to be fun watching what image the Nets choose to don in the coming years.
But as far as shoes are concerned, I've made up my mind.
My choice is the Nike Air Maestro, just like the Fab Five wore back in the day. All the way from 1992-93, these bad boys still look clean today. And with this crisp black and white colorway, the Nets would be all set for the Casino Royale- er, I mean, Barclays Center.
Honorable mention to the Nike Zoom Kobe VIII "What the Kobe", because can you imagine the look of those with the black and white uniforms? My, oh my. It's a shame I couldn't make myself choose them.
