With Rudy Gay on the bench due to injury during the playoffs, the Memphis Grizzlies surpassed many expectations. With the recent unveiling of the Nike Hyperfuse 2011, Rudy Gay’s player exclusive is now upon us. Just like we expected, the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 Rudy Gay PE uses University Blue as its main color, obsidian blue is placed on the liner, midsole and sides, last we have yellow for the Nike and Rudy Gay’s branding. Expected to be a House of Hoops release this summer.

If you’re fiending to grab a pair of player exclusives from Nike early, then you’re in luck. In a good size run, the Nike Huarache 2010 Supreme Rudy Gay Player Exclusive is available online. Gay’s PE, which rocks the colors of the Memphis Grizzlies, features his iconic logo on the tongue, along with a full leather upper, white patent swoosh, and blue neoprene side panel for ultimate breathability. You can expect to see these release at Footlocker along with Rashard Lewis’s PE, but if you can’t wait, they’re available on good ol’ eBay for a couple bills.

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.
