adidas Rolls Out Retro NBA Uniforms

This is very nostalgic for myself and an entire generation of NBA fans.

adidas is bringing back seven bold and unique NBA uniforms from the 1990s. Recalling some of the NBA’s most memorable players and franchises the uniforms capture a distinct era in basketball history and will be worn during NBA Hardwood Classics Nights – 10 nationally televised games played through March.

Updated with revolutionary adidas performance technology for today’s game, these new classics let fans and players relive the stand-out styles and basketball personalities of the ‘90s. From Milwaukee’s “Full Buck” alternate road uniform worn by the playoff-bound ’98-’99 team to the “Pinstripes” worn by the ’95-’96 champion Chicago Bulls, these uniforms evoke nostalgia for the distinct attitude and fashion that epitomized the decade.

Fans can grab their own Hardwood Classic Retro jerseys at NBAStore.com and team shops for $100. Additional uniforms include Atlanta Hawks “Spreadwings,” Indiana Pacers “Classic Pinstripe,” Miami Heat “Deep Red,” Phoenix Suns “Steaming Sun,” and Sacramento Kings “Checkerboard.”
