Crafted by Nike Basketball Senior Designer Leo Chang the Nike Bluechip is among the team-oriented options available for the ’08-’09 hoops season. The model has been released in a bevy of color schemes suitable for any high school, but now, we’re beginning to see player exclusive joints drops at Footlocker’s monopolized House of Hoops.

More particularly, the Bluechip will be available in a Caron Butler white/royal blue copper iteration, along with a black/powder blue/yellow version for Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay. The shoe features Air-Sole units in the forefoot and heel, a natural motion inspired outsole, and inventive lateral stitching. Release date is slated for 10/18! Via: Sole Collector.
