Almost every NBA player, not signed to Jordan, Adidas, Reebok or Converse wore the Hyperdunk at least once. In 2009, we have seen the Hyperdunk just as much; however, other Nike basketball sneakers have entered the mix such as the Huarache &#8217;09 and this Nike Zoom Phenom.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, Memphis Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay and Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams both wore the Nike Zoom Phenom in its respective team&#8217;s colorway. In our <a href=\"\/category\/kicks-on-court\/\" target=\"_self\">Kicks On Court<\/a>, we have also seen Portland Trail Blazers forward Brandon Roy sporting the Phenom as well. If you recall, this same trio of players wore the <a href=\"\/nike-air-blue-chip-pe-collection\/\" target=\"_self\">Nike Air Blue Chip<\/a> for the majority of 2008. Click the jump to check out the new Nike Zoom Phenom and other sneakers worn by Michael Finley, Kobe Bryant. T.J. Ford, LeBron James, O.J.
