USA Basketball<\/strong> is back, with training camp in full swing as the team prepares to defend the gold at the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain. After Kevin Love and Blake Griffin pulled their names out of the running, the field is down to 20 players contending for 12 roster spots. A diverse pool of talent is represented in Sin City this week, as well as a variety of sneaker brands. Since Nike<\/strong> is the official equipment and apparel supplier of USA Basketball, the only place where the players are allowed to don their own personal logos is through their Kicks On Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Five different shoe brands are represented at training camp, including Nike<\/strong>, adidas<\/strong>, Jordan Brand<\/strong>, Under Armour<\/strong>, and Anta<\/strong>. Nike headliners Kevin Durant, James Harden, Paul George<\/em> and Kyrie Irving<\/em> lead the Swoosh push that includes 13 of the 20 participants, while Boost hits basketball on the feet of Three Stripes signature athletes Derrick Rose<\/em> and Damian Lillard<\/em>. The latest to join team Jumpman, Andre Drummond<\/em>, reps Jordan Brand, while Stephen Curry<\/em> is debuting a new Under Armour shoe and Chandler Parsons<\/em> is doing the same for Anta. Read through the following pages to get a full Brand Breakdown of the sneaker companies that are being represented at USA Basketball Training Camp 2014.<\/p>\n

Jordan Brand<\/h1>\n

Representatives:<\/strong> 1
\nPlayers:<\/strong> Andre Drummond<\/p>\n

With USA familiars and Jordan Brand leaders Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook and Blake Griffin all sitting this summer out, Andre Drummond<\/strong> is carrying the torch for the Jumpman team all by himself. The most recent addition to the JB roster, the Detroit Pistons big man was a pleasant surprise last NBA season with his Kicks On Court, and continues his momentum to Vegas wearing a clean Player Edition version of the Air Jordan XX8<\/strong> SE <\/strong>so far. If AD finds his name on the final roster, he will be the only player with the potential to break out an “Olympic” Air Jordan retro. Since he already laced the Air Jordan 6 “Olympic”<\/strong> this past season, here’s to Andre having a good showing at training camp.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

adidas<\/h1>\n

Representatives:<\/strong> 4
\nPlayers:<\/strong> Derrick Rose, Damian Lillard, John Wall, Kenneth Faried<\/p>\n

The Three Stripes shooters are led this summer by adidas Boost being integrated into basketball and changing the game. Just a day after the adidas D Rose 5 and Crazyquick Boost were introduced, the brand’s representatives were already wearing them on court. Watch for the new technology to give Team USA a boost in Spain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Under Armour<\/h1>\n

Representatives:<\/strong> 1
\nPlayers:<\/strong> Stephen Curry<\/p>\n

UA Basketball’s leader is the brand’s lone endorser at USA Basketball training camp. Although he is a solo act in Las Vegas, Stephen Curry is gathering attention by sporting the brand’s newest silhouette, the Under Armour ClutchFit Drive<\/strong>, which he debuted in the 2014 NBA Playoffs. Laid out in a patriotic color scheme, of course, these high-tops are almost a lock to make the trip to Spain.<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Anta<\/h1>\n

Representatives:<\/strong> 1
\nPlayers:<\/strong> Chandler Parsons<\/p>\n

Once again, Chandler Parsons is a lone ranger representing his brand, Anta. After leaving the brand in Beaverton and going across the pond to sign with the Chinese shoe company in the middle of last NBA season, Parsons is carrying his momentum, and new lucrative contract, into USA training camp wearing his own signature sneaker, as well as Anta’s casual shoes off of the court.<\/p>\n

Nike<\/h1>\n

Representatives:<\/strong> 12
\nPlayers:<\/strong> Kevin Durant, James Harden, Paul George, Anthony Davis, DeMar DeRozan, DeMarcus Cousins, Bradley Beal, Klay Thompson, Paul Millsap, Gordon Hayward, Kyle Korver, Mason Plumlee, Kyrie Irving<\/p>\n

Nike’s logo is all over every participants’ jersey, socks and accessories, but it is also on the most players’ feet. With 13 of the 20 hopefuls representing the brand in Beaverton, the Swoosh will be a staple in Spain this summer.<\/p>\n
