How do you guys like the practice gear? Got a pair of the $45 shorts and they are lightweight...but damn I would not pay retail. If not for the swoosh you would think it's a Tj maxx knock off. And the practice t-shirts are awful. Cheap plastic "ink" on the front and a weird cut, plus they cost $35 I think? They feel like a rag and you can just tell the neck is gonna stretch out. I'll admit the showtime flex hoodie feels really nice, but $150 for 100% polyester is way too much. And it's the type of jacket that will get snagged on things and pulled very easily. I'll have to see how the swingman shorts are but so far I'm disappointed in the new stuff available.
Yeah, I hate how alot of my Elite basketball shorts look like trash due to all of the snags. I only wear these to the gym, so I have no idea why there are so many snags on these. This is one of the reasons I went with the cheaper Dry Showtime Hoodie.
You're not alone - I'm pretty disappointed in Nike's NBA gear. I can't believe people constantly cape for ripped authentic jerseys, with the argument being "You're not going to play ball in yours, so what does it matter?". Umm...........if I had the money to buy a Ferrari, with the intention of just cruising the strip slowly and keeping it in my garage 98% of the time, why would I buy one if it breaks down whenever you try to race with it?
