The basketball sim video game rivalry between NBA 2K and NBA Live continues to be competitive, but we might have to give the “sneakers” edge to the EA Sports offering. With Russell Westbrook on the cover of the upcoming installment, we can certainly expect heavy Jordan Brand influence, and this preview dropped today by EA Sports shows a wide array of Air Jordans and more in photo-realistic fashion. Seen here is the Air Jordan 1, II, and III in unbelievably accurate form, with even the most minute details like the elephant print and perforation patterns shining through. It’ll be as fun collection all your favorite kicks as it blowing by your opponent for a euro-step tear-drop bucket. Check out the previews below and let us know if you’ll be copping NBA Live ’16 when it goes on sale later this year.
Picking your J’s is as easy as 1, 2, 3… Customization in #NBALIVE16: http://t.co/G3hem6H1gU #RiseTogether https://t.co/Lv5x8kC5Ax
