As if the sports calendar could not get any busier, the NCAA basketball season is quickly gearing up. Over the past few weeks, we have seen the most prestigious programs in the country host media days and other exciting events.

When it comes to blueblood basketball teams, the conversation must always begin with the UCLA Bruins. The athletic department has been on a roll with smart hires and savvy business moves.

One of the best decisions ever made in Westwood was signing a six-year, $46.45-million contract with Jordan Brand and Nike in 2020. The American company has supplied the Bruins with the best apparel it has to offer. After the Bruins' team photo shoot, we know what basketball shoes they will wear during the 2022-23 season.

In addition to other Jordan Brand shoes, the Bruins will primarily wear the Jordan Zion 2ย in Bruins colorways this season. The performance basketball shoe is the second installment in Zion Williamson's signature sneaker line.

The Jordan Zion 2 first hit shelves in June 2022 for $120. Since then, a plethora of different exciting colorways has enjoyed general releases. Fans can easily purchase a pair on Nike's website.

The new model is lightweight, comfortable, and built to allow Williamson to be fully locked in on the court. Fans can read the complete tech breakdown by clicking here.
