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. Honestly, the press release relays the story in a way I cannot: He didn’t need to head to the line as trainers pleaded with him to head for the locker room, but [...]

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 [...]

Designed as a casual sneaker with performance basketball shoe tooling is the new Nike Hyperrev Low EXT. 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 [...]

Stephen Curry is on top the basketball world right now. Along with being the reigning NBA MVP and capturing his first Larry O’Brien trophy with the Golden State Warriors, the elder Splash Brother also is toward the end of the rollout for his first signature sneaker. Not to be complacent, Under Armour looks ready to [...]

With the popularity of tonal, monochromatic (single-color) basketball sneakers at its height, FILA looks to ride the wave they were an early part of with this new Grant Hill III colorway. For the ‘Mint’ FILA 97 (GH3), a combination of light green tumbled leather and suede are used to construct this new colorway of Grant [...]
