Mayo, Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, etc. The Rookies who are Nike athletes wore the new Nike Huarache 2009 in a Purple and Orange colorway with “Rookies” written across the shoe’s upper. Sophomores on the other hand wore the same Huarache 2009 but in a Home White, Purple, and Orange colorway, presumably with “Sophomores” written across the upper as well. Kevin Durant, the only player in the game with a signature shoe, rocked his new Nike KD1 in his Rookie Sophomore game colorway of Orange and Purple with the speckled midsole.
