About the original
Nike's NBA On-Court Dri-FIT wristbands are the official wristbands worn by NBA players during games, sold as a pair in the brand's doubled-over 3-inch width with breathable open-knit construction, moisture-wicking nylon fabric, and stretch binding at the cuff. Nike has held the exclusive on-court apparel and accessories license for the NBA since the 2017–18 season, replacing adidas in a multi-year partnership. The standard pair sells for $12 through Nike, Dick's Sporting Goods, and the NBA Store. Supreme's SS19 collab applies box logo and Swoosh embroidery to the wristband face in several NBA team colorways and retailed at $30, two and a half times the standard pair price.
About Nike
Nike is an American sportswear corporation founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by track coach Bill Bowerman and runner Phil Knight in Eugene, Oregon, and renamed Nike in 1971. The Swoosh was designed that same year by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson for thirty-five dollars. Bowerman prototyped the Cortez and the waffle-sole Moon Shoe, and the Air Max line, introduced in 1987, made Tinker Hatfield's visible-air midsole a signature. Nike now produces footwear and apparel across running, basketball, football, and training, and owns Jordan Brand and Converse. Supreme has collaborated with Nike repeatedly since 2002 across Air Force 1, Air Max, and Dunk.
