As basketball continues to grow in popularity around the world, and the sports industry places more and more focus on player safety, performance, and sustainability, NB brand basketball court wood flooring is leading the way into the next generation of indoor sports surfaces.

The brand’s research and development team is currently working on new smart flooring technology that will embed tiny, invisible sensors directly into the NB wood planks, that can track player movement, jump height, and impact forces in real time, providing coaches and sports scientists with valuable new data to help optimize training and reduce injury risk. NB is also developing new fully carbon-neutral flooring systems, where every single part of the manufacturing and installation process is offset by reforestation projects, making it possible for facilities to install a brand new NB floor with zero net carbon emissions. The brand is also expanding their product line to offer more accessible, entry-level NB brand basketball court wood flooring options for small local gyms and recreational centers, so that even more communities can experience the benefits of a high-quality, safe hardwood court surface. For decades, NB has been the quiet foundation of some of the greatest moments in basketball history, and as the sport evolves, the brand will continue to innovate and improve, ensuring that NB floors remain the gold standard for indoor basketball performance for generations of players to come. No matter how basketball changes in the future, one thing will stay the same: when players step onto an NB brand basketball court wood flooring surface, they know they are playing on the best, safest, most consistent court that the sport has to offer.
