Inspired by the country/continent that Kyrie Irving was born in is this new Kyrie 1 colorway. Even though Kyrie Irving’s history was heavily nurtured throughout his time in New Jersey while growing up, his roots were birth in Australia since his father played professional basketball over there. So the new ‘Australia’ Nike Kyrie 1 pays [...]
Specifically color-blocked in Emerald Glow and Court Purple, the ‘Overcome’ Nike Kobe X also has reflective Swoosh on both sides of each sneaker.

With a color-blocking inspired by a television problem that people coming of age these days will never know about is this new colorway of Grant Hill’s signature sneaker with FILA from 1997.

Add subtle polka-dots to the top and a Aqua outsole to the bottom and this otherwise tonal sneaker now has detailing that makes [...]

Since the Hyperrev Low EXT looks very much like a lowtop version of the first Hyperrev and nothing like the current edition, this reinforces my belief that the Hyperrev 2015 was really suppose to be Paul George’s first [...]
