2009 NBA All-Star Jerseys

The new NBA All-Star jerseys by Adidas are available for sale at NBA.com store today, and have a futuristic style to them as seen in the above pictures. According to some reports the new jerseys can also improve your game. Mensfitness.com reports they're made of a material that's 31% lighter than the traditional basketball jerseys are with a tighter fit for improved mobility. Also the conference names and player numbers were bonded using glue rather than layers of twill sewn together.

Other features of the new jersey are a "gripper waist band" which keeps the jersey tucked in at all times, which is a league rule (not that the All-star game is rule heavy). There's also a better ventilation system in place, as Adidas mapped out the body's heat zone areas where players tend to sweat most and put ventilation holes over them. This ventilation system works in conjunction with the TECHFIT compression garments worn underneath jersey.

The 2009 All-Star game will take place in Phoenix, Arizona this year on February 15th. The uniform is said to feature a design with lines resembling Arizona's rock formations and colors "desert red" for the West and sunset blue for the East.

Pricing for the new jerseys: NBA All-Star Authentic Player Jerseys and Customized Jerseys: $200; NBA All-Star Swingman Jersey: $80; NBA All-Star Replica Jersey: $50. Available at NBAStore.com
