From afar, they are not really that different. All of the important things are the same: the colors, the logo, the cherry blossoms etc. Up close though, they are quite different and wear much different as well.
The swingman is definitely way higher quality. The fabric feels much higher quality, the colors pop more and it just looks a lot better up close. Ignore the fact that the fastbreak looks brighter, thatās just poor lighting.
The major con of the swingman however is that it is definitely slim fit and true to size. Iām a medium in everything imaginable for men and the medium jersey is kind of tight on me. I would recommend going a size up, especially if you want to wear it over a hoodie like I wanted to. Although be weary that a size up will probably come quite a bit past your waistline since it is so long
The fastbreak is a nice cheaper option. The chest area is much bigger, the jersey is shorter and a bit āboxierā. It fits more like a shirt. The blue lining is smaller around the arms and neck, and the cherry blossoms are much bolder. Thereās no Nike logo and the inside is pink instead of white. The logo in the bottom right is also not quite cool as the swingman.
Overall, Iām pretty happy with both of these. I think fastbreak is still a good option (especially if you have to get a custom for swingman since itās double the price), but there is no doubt that the swingman is better if you can afford it
