Nike Air Zoom BB NXT "New Orleans Pelicans"

Originally scheduled to debut on the world stage during the Tokyo Olympics, the Nike Air Zoom BB NXT launched late last month in a "Dangerous" black and green colourway. Next on his list of releases is a subtle, yet royal, navy and gold arrangement. The lightweight mesh upper is coated predominantly in the rich shade of blue, although the tactile textured print for support and durability is delivered to the slightly bright complementary shade.

Profile swooshes and tongue accents follow suit in gold, with the latter making the most luxurious statement. Underfoot, the triple-stacked React foam deviates from the pair's two-tone color scheme in its black composition, but complements the palette for the New Orleans Pelicans.

Stay focused on the game with the new Nike Basketball Air Zoom BB NXT. They are designed to offer lightness, support and reactivity to the players. You will regain energy with each step to turn your strength into momentum when you need it most.

• Designed to finish off plays
• The three layers of Nike React foam are divided into two layers in the midsole and a sockliner. Each layer is designed to offer lightweight, responsive cushioning and stay cool throughout the game.
• Give it all
• Two Zoom units under the ball of the foot absorb energy with each step. They return it to offer the extra push you need to dodge defenders.
• Lightweight and durable
• Mesh uses reinforced layers to provide support in the toe, heel and midfoot. Offers greater stability without increasing weight.
• Traction in multiple directions
• The circular pattern of the outsole offers greater traction in movements in all directions. It has been designed around the Zoom units to take full advantage of cushioning.
• Designed for comfort
• The soft foam tongue and the padded ankle area with an Achilles tendon notch to offer a snug and comfortable fit.
