2007-2008 Converse Replica Basketball Shorts

What in the name of Chuck Taylor is going on?  Converse has thrown it’s hat into the replica basketball short arena for the first time since…maybe ever, and ohh how they make their presence known.  Taking a page out of Nike’s playbook, the Converse shorts are long (23 inches from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the leg) and wide-legged (15 and ¾ inches at the widest point). They are made of 100% polyester and feature screen-printed logos. At this point in time, Marquette University is the only school using Converse; however, given the excellent styling choices they’ve made, it’s only a matter of time until more schools sign on.

2007-2008 Adidas Replica Basketball Shorts

This years basketball short from Adidas is a departure from what they’ve offered in years past.  A mesh exterior replaces the shiny durasheen style short Adidas has offered prior to this season.  To prevent a see-through effect common with mesh shorts, Adidas has included a nylon lining. The material is thin enough to maintain breathability but does not compromise its intended purpose.

Besides the mesh look, the Adidas replica basketball shorts have a more true to size fit. A pair of large Adidas basketball shorts measures 20 and three-quarter inches from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the leg with an inseam of 7 and one-quarter inches giving the Adidas replica basketball short an even lower seat than the Nike shorts. At it’s widest point, the same large pair of shorts measures 14 inches across at the widest point in the leg. With a considerably shorter length and narrower leg, one might think the Adidas replica shorts would have a more constricting fit than their Nike counterpart but the lower seat ensures a roomy fit without the excess fabric. Adidas replica basketball shorts are available in popular schools, such as the Arkansas Razorbacks, Indiana Hoosiers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, UCLA Bruins, Wisconsin Badgers, and much more.

2007-2008 Nike Replica Basketball Shorts

Once again Nike has served up a quality pair of replica shorts. The trend of extra length and width continues again this year, making Nike’s shorts the loosest fit on the market.  A pair of large replica shorts measures 23 inches from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the leg with an inseam of 11 and a half inches, giving it an incredibly low seat. At it’s widest, the leg of the same size large replica short measures 15 and three-quarters inches across. Makes one wonder if Laettner (Duke) or Jordan (North Carolina) would have hit their legendary game winners if they had to deal with all that extra material…

Nike’s replica basketball shorts are made of 100% polyester and feature screen-printed lettering and graphics as well as a drawstring waistband. It’s a solid material (not mesh) giving the replica shorts a look similar to the authentics.  Besides making shorts for the afore mentioned Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels, Nike is able to boast having the largest roster of schools in production.
