Nike NBA Apparel and Jersey Thread: 2017-18 NBA Season Takeover

[davidestu]

Is there any size change from this year’s authentic compared to last year’s one, or the only change is the material?

I mean, should I still buy one size up for the authentic compared to the swingman?

I noticed the front is about the same size as the back now. No other difference in sizing. I personally wouldn’t size any different than your swingman. Both are the same width.

Ordered the rockets pre game long sleeve shooting shirt!... somebody told me to go TTS, WRONG, go a size down!

I feel like anyone lean should size down on most of the stuff. Much of it is cut way too big.

Waiting on the Mavs city jersey to leak. There’s some teasers on twitter right now.

Wouldn’t size up on authentics

Rockets practice shirt, ran super small this year. I sized down on every shirt, that had a tail on it last year lol. Will do the same for now on.

Do the $100 showtime hoodies shrink at all when washed? I know they are a cotton/poly blend.

I know the t shirts are running smaller this year for sure.

Yea I just bought the practice Celtics and lakers T-shirt’s and had to size up because they were short in length.

Wash them in cold water, hang to dry and you should be good.

Came from the lakers team store in el segundo. They had Ingram, Ball & Kuz authentics. Asked about LeBron authentics and they nike hasn’t sent them any. Picked up my rondo finally and LeBron jersey in white. Will post pics later

what sizes did they have of lebron in white and yellow swingman?

 

[noblekane]

It’s crazy that when Nike took over last year, LeBron’s Authentic Icon Cavs jersey was available at launch day.

His authentic jersey could have been had at footsites, Fanatics, NDC, lids, etc. That’s what I’m expecting since he is Nike’s #1 athlete right now and for them not to do it is ridiculous.

maybe they are doing a new sales strategy? pump out the swingmans and have us buy them first then pump out the authentics and have us buy them too

If that’s the case I won’t bite. I’ll continue buying authentics via outlets etc or simply buy my team’s merch.

I get it. Paying 149.00 and above for a tank top that you’ll like wear 1-2x per month doesn’t make sense to a regular Joe.

Nike’s bread and butter has always been the swingman. It’s cheaper and sells better. Most fans do not want the authentic. Hell most are happy with the $30 knockoffs.

Swingmans still a dollar 10 unless u catch a sale

I like guys on both teams. I’m not worried about a rivalry that hasn’t been there in almost a decade lol.

It's always a rivalry.

 

[g-time]

Has to be competitive first. Might soon comeback though. Doesn’t take away the fact I like players on both teams.

 

[drisk34]

C’s Lakers will forever and always be one of the top rivalries in sports. I will never wear Lakers gear, thats like wearing Yankees.

 

[g-time]

I get that, and I’m not a die hard fan of either team. Again, I like players on both teams. Fan of the game and good basketball, so this rivalry that hasn’t really been there for a while, is not going to matter to me.

 

[sicembu]

I have a friend that’s a Warriors and Lakers fans. I give him crap all the time because I’d like to cheer for every team so I’ll never lose either lol.

 

[mastamind033]

Who’s your team g-time ? I’m just curious
