Back when Air Jordan’s first hit its teenage years, there weren’t nearly as many sneaker color options for Michael Jordan to wear as we have now. This new Air Jordan XIII (13) colorway is a pair MJ definitely missed out on. Said to be based off of a Jordan 13 sample from years ago, this [...]
Allen Iverson is recognized for making the Hexalite (honeycomb-looking) bottom seen on the Question pop for Reebok the same way Dee Brown made the Pump pop for the brand.

Which explains why Paul George has a Player Edition colorway of the Hyperdunk 2014 out. Without ever playing a single NBA game this season in the 2014 Hyperdunk because of injury sustained [...]
Kemba Walker has been seen in nothing but Under Armour since the 2011 NBA Draft. Even before playing a single minute of league play (remember that was a lockout year where the season didn’t start until Christmas Day that year) Walker has been putting on for Team Armour faithfully.
