Kidd also returned to Dallas &#8211; where it all started for him &#8211; following the 2008 Olympic Games, but due to the footwear change (and the absence of Jamal Mashburn and Jim Jackson), it wasn&#8217;t the same J-Kidd we watched in the 90s. Yet, without any mention of a return to where it all started for him footwear-wise, Kidd began the 2011-2012 NBA season in the <strong>Nike Zoom Brave V<\/strong>, an updated version of the <strong>Nike Zoom Uptempo V<\/strong>, and would eventually wear NikeiD versions of the <strong>Nike Zoom Uptempo V<\/strong> sporadically throughout the season.
