NBA All-Star Weekend is always one of the most anticipated weekend’s during the NBA Season and this year’s 2008-09 All-Star Weekend kicked off last night in Phoenix, Arizona with the Rookie Challenge (Rookie vs. Sophomore Game) that featured a number of up and coming players including Kevin Durant, O.J. Mayo, Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, etc. The Rookies who are Nike athletes wore the new Nike Huarache 2009 in a Purple and Orange colorway with “Rookies” written across the shoe’s upper. Sophomores on the other hand wore the same Huarache 2009 but in a Home White, Purple, and Orange colorway, presumably with “Sophomores” written across the upper as well.
Thanks to sneakernews and Kenlu for the news.
