Under Armour 2010 Basketball Lineup Posted: 20 Aug 2010 12:28 PM PDT Earlier this week we announced that the long awaited basketball lineup from Under Armour would hit shelves this November. Today we have pictures of the four models set to release. Leading off from left to right is the Micro G Black Ice, the newest signature for Brandon Jennings. Next is the Micro G Fly, originally spotted on Jennings last winter on the cover of SLAM. Following up are the Micro G Blur and lastly the Micro G Lite, an adapted version of the Prototype 2. Aside from the Buck’s point guard players from the University of Maryland, Boston College, University of South Florida, Texas Tech University and Auburn University will wear the four models on court this season. Each pair is based off of Micro G technology which boasts lightweight and low to the ground court feel. The last season saw readers teased with many hot makeups unavailable, does the lineup live up to your expectations?

Nike Blazer AC “Neon” Posted: 20 Aug 2010 10:28 AM PDT Always strapped, the Nike Blazer AC “Neon” takes the velcro variation of the Nike classic to new heights with this bold colorway.
