Being raised in Italy for the first years of his life, Kobe Bryant grew up with a passion for not just basketball, but soccer (or futbol depending on who you’re speaking to). This new lowtop Kobe 10 Elite colorway is inspired by that. For the Nike Kobe X Elite Low ‘Mambacurial’, inspiration was taken from [...]

Tweet to @THDkicks For the ‘Graphite’ Under Armour ClutchFit Drive 2, the premiere feature that made the first version great the amount of second skin that locks (or “clutches” get it?) has been reduced and has a more focused placement. The molded tongue is still there and the proprietary Micro G foam has been moved [...]

Tweet to @THDkicks Contining on the story started with the ‘Hunt’s Hill Sunrise’ colorway is this new edition of the KD8. For the new ‘Hunt’s Hill Night’ Nike KD8 colorway inspiration comes from the colors seen outside at night around Kevin Durant’s childhood neighborhood. A grey textile called Flyweave makes up the entire upper sits [...]

While the Air Jordan 9 is either loved or hated by Retro fans, this new colorway is very hard to deny. Officially known as the ‘Anthracite’ Air Jordan IX (9), this colorway release is apart of the Air Jordan Remastered collection which means that it is said to be constructed from upgraded materials not usually [...]

A new Reebok Question Low is on its way that will help set off any alphet. For this new colorway of the lowtop version of Allen Iverson’s first signature sneaker, a suede black toecap fronts a white tumbled leather upper.

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. Officially titled the ‘Static’ FILA the 97, this version of the sneaker formerly known as the FILA GH3 gets its simple white-and-black colorway [...]

The symbiotic relationship between sneakers and basketball also works as the common ground for people who would otherwise be unrelated. That is part of what paired LeBron James with Pigalle designer Stéphane Ashpool and the resulted Nike collaboration. For the Pigalle x Nike LeBron 12 Elite collaborative sneaker, the white Megafuse upper has black pixels [...]

Sneaker colorway stories have become one of the most contrived parts of the culture; often times feeling very forced. This latest Jordan 9 however has amazing inspiration. For ‘The Spirit’ Air Jordan 9 Retro, the story behind the colorway is a good one. In front of the United Center where the Chicago Bulls play, a [...]
