Take a closer look at the Zoom BB II from The Collection.

In the heart of Newark, NJ there is a buzz about a high school basketball team that sets a standard of excellence that other schools can only hope to achieve. The Gray Bees of St. Benedict’s have a high-flying style that swarms their opponents with their stifling defense. Using the huddle as their hive, they play as one and leave other teams nursing the sting that comes from a painful defeat.

Always the other team’s biggest game, St. Benedict’s travels nationwide taking on all comers who think they can ball with the best. And the result is usually the same. Last year St. Benedict went 24-1. This year, they were ranked #1 in the nation for weeks, and will send a player to the Brand Jordan Classic at Madison Square Garden on April 19th.

To honor the evolving legacy of St. Benedict’s Nike has created the Zoom BB II personalized in the gray and maroon colors of the St. Benedict’s Gray Bees. A maroon patent leather wraps the bottom and top of the shoe and the ankle is emblazoned with St. Benedict’s initials. A gray, perfed middle and a white swoosh on the heel completes the look. The Zoom BB II is the shoe for players that want to swarm the competition.
