Basketball sleeves


Basketball sleeves

A basketball sleeve isn't just for style: it keeps the muscles warm, protects against scrapes and adds light compression. Here you'll find Nike arm sleeves, wristbands and finger sleeves.

Arm sleeve (shooter sleeve)

The arm sleeve covers from the biceps to the wrist. It keeps the arm warm, aids circulation and protects against contact and floor scrapes. Many players also adopt it for the look.

Wristbands and finger sleeves

The wristband soaks up sweat and keeps a good grip on the ball. The finger sleeve supports a weakened joint or prevents the finger sprains that are common in basketball.
