Fresh out the factory are these special make-up pairs of the the BB Proto 3 “Young Buck”, Under Armour’s exclusive shoe for Bucks 1-guard Brandon Jennings. “Young Money” will wear the black/varsity red version on the road and the white-based variation at home up until All-Star Break.
How do you feel the BB Proto 3 compares to Kool Bob’s BB Proto?
Bob reports in his issue #21 “Let ‘Em Marinate” column that Under Armour has plans to delay the release of their b-ball lineup until 2011. Even with the lag, the Baltimore, Maryland outfit will equip several Division 1 and AAU squads with special make-ups of the BB Protoype this winter and next summer. I’m particularly smitten with the shoe’s aesthetics and material combinations, so all of the pairs pictured above look lovely.
What’s your favorite scheme in the bunch?

The generous folks at Under Armour cooked up this one-of-one exclusive Boricua BB Prototype for Bobb! Draped in white patent leather, the shoe features a densely perforated middle and Puerto Rico’s national flag burned onto the heel. On the medial side, “Kool Bob Love” runs diagonally, left to right, along the Proto’s ankle collar in blue stitching. UA’s “Shield” logo is embossed on middle and the coqui, P.R.’s national animal, rides up front in gold.
Again, these joints are one-of-one and exclusive to a brother who’s one heckuva ballplayer and proud of his Boricua heritage. They will not be hitting retail!
Under Armour’s BB line is hitting retailers worldwide in ‘10.

Brandon Jennings has returned from his transatlantic hoops pilgrimage to compete in NBA Predraft Camps with the cream of the NCAA’s 2009 crop. The 6′0 LA native signed with the burgeoning Under Armour camp last Fall and will sport these exclusive black/yellow/white “Young Money” Prototypes during evaluative workouts over the next few weeks. The shoe’s perforated mesh upper is balanced by splashes of patent leather at the fore and rear. Armour’s shield logo is burned onto the middle panel and BJ’s “Young Money” moniker is stitched diagonally, left to right, on the padded ankle collar.
These joints are custom and exclusive to Brandon, so don’t worry ’bout coppin!

Brandon Jennings is a man of many firsts. The devilishly quick point guard bypassed a one-and-done college career in the Arizona desert for a more lucrative stint with Pallacanestro Virtus Roma in Italy. (A little Mediterranean sunshine never hurt anyone, did it?) Jennings also was the first hoops athlete to sign on with upstart Baltimore-based brand Under Armour who has made noise in the football and training worlds with functional, anti-aesthetic releases. The company is set to deliver hardwood kicks just in time for the 2010 season. (UA released cleats in ’07, trainers in ’08, runners in ’09 and so on…) In the meantime, you can preoccupy yourself with the latest images to surface from ‘cross the Atlantic, as BJ is tantalizing us with early weartest samples of Armour’s product. The first impressions are promising! And if you’re one of those restless cats, agog and hankering over every detail regarding Jennings and Under Armour developments, be sure to check out his interactive experience on the company’s website, “When In Rome”.

He is as fast as a non-stop 4 train. His court vision is better than the view atop the Empire State Building. But his story is incomparable.
Brandon Jennings, the 6-foot guard out of Los Angeles, opted for the villa over the dorm and is now running the point for Lottomatica Roma of the Italian Serie A League. The flat-top may be gone, but the humble Jennings hasn’t lost a step, playing a key role on a first place team.
To keep tabs on the soon-to-be first rounder, Under Armour has created “When in Rome,” a section of its website dedicated to the young phenom that allows fans to watch exclusive content and monitor his life overseas.
