When does Team USA 2012 Nike Basketball gear go on sale?

anyone see any other teams besides US? Looking for China bball gear. Eastbay had it back in 2008 but I haven't seen any yet.
 
Damn ... $120 or $125 for shorts ...

I love it!!!

Nike got us paying cray prices for this and guarenteed they will sell out ... LMAO
 
Just saw the jerseys yesterday for the first time in person. It looked like a 1st grader screen printed the name and number on the back. AWFUL quality.

The real twill ones were at my local HOH, retail was $120 or $125 I believe. The white one was

.  The FNL replica ones are HORRIBLE. Saw both versions in person and would not touch the Replicas. 

Guess I will hit HOH tomorrow after work. I have the fnl ones coming but sounds like I might be dissapointed
you probably will.
 
re: pockets

I didn't even take them out of the plastic so I'm not sure. I just know that online it didn't say replica and when I got them in they were most def. replica and said it on the tag
 
Can't wait for the full roll out. Anyone know where I can find a DRose jersey from the FIBA World Championships??

Are you talking about the shorts or the jerseys for $120? If its the shorts, was the USA star stitched on? or that recycled pressed 3m looking one like the platinum shorts?
 
got the replicas today they are okay deff not the quality i was hoping for but i am not spending $120 for shorts. And finishline pulled a quick one on us not saying replica in its item description just called them hyper elite


Yes the do have pockets on them which makes it good cuz i can wear them to and from work without having to remember if i put my phone in my backpack
 
sewn on's haven't hit many stores yet it's been said that the wide spread release will be first week of july
 
Pockets make the shorts more attractive ... Even tho they are replicas

I love shorts with pockets!

THIS.

Even though I  can't see myself rocking NBA shorts with pockets, some sick USA ones so I can have my wallet and cell on me after i play ball is essential.
 
hmmm....... pockets?? not a fan, i hope the authentic ones have no pockets. you dont need pockets when youre ballin, but i dont understand why others may want them.
 
If im going to drop 120 on the authentic, they better have the + length like team issued shorts.

the real ones youre talking about are the 2012 ones?

Yes real 2012 ones. They were the jerseys, not the shorts. Stopped by local HOH today and they had the Lebron jersey only. $120 retail. I forgot to take pics though. Sorry y'all. They didn't say +2 length like the Adidas ones do, but they looked pretty long. The whole back is a breathable mesh, and the collar area has the flywire rubber kinda thing just like the NFL jerseys. They're real nice. I'm just waiting for them to be posted on Swoosh. I'm probably going to swing by on Saturday and I'll take pics then.
 
I got my shorts in the mail today from FNL....Not a fan but gonna hold on to them until we find out if better ones are coming. Have no clue why there are pockets. They  feel like $ 40 shorts, not $ 60
