I recently did a post about Tinker Hatfield (read it here) .. and now I'm doing another Nike related post, whatever. This is the DREAM TEAM DESTROYER. To celebrate the victory of the 1992 USA Basketball Team at the Barcelona Summer Olympics this jacket was released by Nike earlier this summer. I REALLLLYY like it. Nike's always stepping shit up, creativity wise... and price wise, it costs $500! (unfortunately it's sold out on the website) The jacket is just one item of Nike's "Dream Team" collection issued in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the team's success at the Olympics. The jacket has all these patches and embroidery so not only does it serve as a piece of sports gear, but it's pretty fashion forward as well.
Ok this is the part when you stop reading and watch the video...
A couple reasons I like this video. 1, I'm a fan of the guy wearing the jacket, his name's Stalley, he's a rapper of Maybach Music Group and his beard is cool. 2. There are little animations of the basketball players in the video jumping around on the jacket... and that reminds me of Space Jam (great movie). I just think the whole concept for the collection, the video, and incorporating both the older retired players and the younger ones who represented the U.S. in this year's games was a great idea. On the front underneath the flag is a list of the scores from the 1992 games, which simply reaffirms why they earned the pseudonym. (The smallest gap they won by was 33 points!) Essentially, they came, they saw, they kicked ass.
