Inside the Brooklyn Nets’ New High-Tech Arena

The Brooklyn Nets hope that having the most technologically-advanced stadium in sports bodes well for the future of their team. It took nine years and numerous court battles to build Barclays Center, but the 1 billion dollar building was finally unveiled to the public last week. Aesthetically, the structure is an organic ode to the future — metal plates of varying sizes, curves and flowing lines — most notable for the Oculus, a gigantic 360-degree high-definition display that will show live game footage, movies and even art installations. Within its walls, some 18,200 fans will enjoy free Wi-Fi, food and beverage apps, and 8,000 square feet of LED signage. Watch the video above for an in-depth glimpse into the Nets’ new high-tech home court. Brooklyn, it seems, does go pretty hard after all.

adidas Originals Tech Street Mid

Inspired by the brand’s mid-top basketball styles of the ’90s, adidas Originals presents the Tech Street Mid. A casual off-court sneaker with a progressive edge, the Tech Street Mid offers premium nubuck and patent leather construction alongside an icy outsole, bold Trefoil branding, and an oversized tongue that would be right at home amongst the sportswear giant’s collaborative line with Jeremy Scott. Seen here in an Aluminum/Lab Green colorway and also available in a predominately black makeup, the adidas Originals Tech Street Mid will retail for $110 USD and is set to drop this Saturday, September 29 at select retailers.
