Following our recap of the World Basketball Festival’s opening night at Barry Farms, we now bring you a special Kicks On Court<\/em><\/strong><\/a> edition of the USA Men’s National Team. Yesterday’s headlining event featured Team USA in practice mode as part of the Hoops for Troops program. Specifically, the team went through a number of shell drills, play sets and ultimately scrimmaged against each other while basketball analyst Jay Bilas narrated from the sideline. The majority of the players strapped up in the “USA” version of the Nike Lunar Hyperdunk; however, the USA signature shoes of Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant were also on display, with the latter shoe appearing on the majority of the coaching staff’s feet. Additionally, Russell Westbrook rocked the yet-to-be-released Nike Hyperfuse 2012. Check out a full recap of the Team USA “Hoops for Troops” Practice below, which also includes shots of the USA Women’s team’ s footwear and the Armory Center setup.<\/p>\n LeBron James facing up in his Nike Lunar Hyperdunk “USA” PE and Anthony Davis defending in the Nike Lunar Hyperdunk “USA”\n LeBron James wearing his Nike Lunar Hyperdunk “USA” PE\n Kobe Bryant playing help side defense in the “USA” Nike Zoom Kobe VII\n Kobe Bryant in the “USA” Nike Zoom Kobe VII\n Chris Paul playing help side defense in the “USA” Jordan CP3.V\n Chris Paul’s “USA” Jordan CP3.V\n Kevin Durant wearing the “USA” Nike Zoom KD IV\n James Harden and Kevin Durant’s “USA” Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 Low and “USA” Nike Zoom KD IV, respectively\n
