Blue basketball shoes

Blue basketball shoes

Basketball started in 1891 but the first basketball shoes became public only in 1917. The first company to produce them was Converse. The Converse All-Star was once available only in black or white colorways. Other companies followed in manufacturing basketball shoes, and other colors also started coming out. There are now a lot of blue basketball shoes to choose from.

Now, Nike is the largest supplier of athletic shoes in the world. To meet the varying style demands of the public, Nike releases their shoe models in different colorways, including blue ones. They even created NikeID for a more personalized experience. Nike currently has five NBA athletes that they produce signature shoes for: LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Paul George.

As Nike’s greatest rival, the Three Stripes brand also produces magnificent blue basketball sneakers.  Just like Nike, the Three Stripes also has a shoe customization platform that they call MiAdidas. Adidas’s roster of signature athletes includes Derrick Rose, Damian Lillard, James Harden, and John Wall. 

Blue: What Does It Stand For?

Blue is a such a cool color that other hues easily blend with it. Symbolically, it denotes success, peace, loyalty, trust, intelligence, confidence, faith, and all the positivities. However, blue may psychologically mean icy, distant, or cold. 

Blue started to become the color for boys after the World War II, in an era now referred to as the generation or time of the baby boomers. The color was embraced by the military and other authorities as a symbol of trust. For marketing purposes, companies started to assign blue for boys and pink for girls.

In the NBA, blue takes the center stage together with the rise of the Golden State Warriors, which become the 2015, 2017, and 2018 NBA Finals Champion. Their team colors are royal blue, California golden yellow, and slate.
