Bradley Beal was selected third overall in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards. The 6’ 5” Florida Gator did not disappoint as a rookie averaging nearly 14 points per game. The shooting guard has steadily improved his scoring and defense each year, teaming with John Wall to form one of the top backcourts in the league. This season he got his second straight All-Star nod for the Eastern Conference and set career highs in points (25.6), rebounds (5.0), assists (5.5) and steals (1.5) for the Wiz. Offered here are two pairs of Beal's game-worn Nike signature model shoes from the 2017-18 season.
The first is a mostly white pair of Nike Hyperdunk shoes with red Swoosh logos and navy blue accents. "B3B" (his jersey number between his initials) is stamped in red on the tongues. The size 13.5 lows have their original insoles and are properly tagged on the inside with "FA17" to indicate year the made/worn. This pair appears to match to a Dec. 7, 2017 contest at Phoenix in which Beal torched the Suns for 34 points in a 109-99 win. (The chipped off red on the left shoe's Swoosh appears to be a match to Getty 888003678.) Beal wore this same style and colorway for much of November and December early in the regular season.
The second pair of Beal gamers were apparently worn in the playoffs, according to the source who procured them from the Wizards. These red Nike Hyperdunks with a navy blue Swoosh and gray accents are stamped with a more creative "b3B" logo in blue on the tongues. The size 13.5 lows are properly tagged on the inside with "SP18" to indicate year the made/worn. Beal sported this same style and colorway for Games 3 and 6 of the Wizard's first round playoff series against Toronto. (Getty images 949260806 and 953186714 are possible photo-matches.) Beal combined for 60 points in the two games as Washington fell in six games to the Raptors. The insoles on the playoff pair have been removed. Both pairs show obvious signs of wear inside and out, with scuff marks that help match the former pair pretty definitively. They come from a reliable source who got them directly from the team.
