WBF and Player PEs

Nike Park’s been known to bring out the PEs (Player Exclusives) whether it’s for the regular season, All-Star Weekend, Playoffs, or like right now, the FIBA World Championships. This Summer, they’ve released a couple of Hyperdunk 2010s and Hyperfuses to promote the World Championships. Both Nike Park BHS and Titan released WBF packs- country exclusives for the Hyperdunk 2010- Lithuania, USA, Puerto Rico, as well as PEs for their countries- Dirk, Yi, Lamar, and Pau. Sadly, among the HD2010s, only Lamar and Yi are actually playing in them. Both Pau and Dirk won’t be suiting up this weekend as they start their bid for the World Championship, which will be aired live on BTV and SOLARtv (do check schedules real soon).
On the Hyperfuse releases, we’ve seen tons already come out, but Nike made a couple of country exclusives as well- Brazil, Puerto Rico (nice), France, and ofcourse the USA. They also made a Tony Parker PE for the French Hyperfuse (sadly, TP9 won’t be playing for the frenchies as well). With these PEs as well as the UWR (United We Rise) Pack dropping, is this really a set worth copping with all the players not playing? It’s great to have, but this is what happens when great planning ends up in smoke when players decide otherwise. The games should be exciting regardless, especially with a beatable USA team competing (heck, they almost lost to LTU and ESP the other day!).
But if you’re a sneakerhead, PEs, and Country exclusives are hard to come by and would be a great addition to any collection moving forward. Drop by Nike BHS or Titan for these special releases.
*I was at Titan last night and would like to tell you that they still have a couple of size 9s of the Premio Bin 23 XIIIs in stock. hurry and cop them!
Except for the tongue(could’ve used a little more finishing IMO), the Hyperfuse look really good.
