2015 summer has been great to fans of the lowtop version of Allen Iverson’s first signature sneaker. First reviving the original Question colorway, then a polka-dotted version with different shades of grey, and previously a black toe’d version, now we see the ‘Blue Toe’ Reebok Question Low. Except for the redesigned asymmetrical tongue (for improved [...]
Blake Griffin’s fourth unofficial signature shoe with Jordan Brand gets a very Chicago Bulls-esque colorway. Fourth sneakers in this Team Jordan series, the Super.Fly 4 looks to be a big improvement from the worst thing about the previous edition: flexibility. Featuring foam-backed mesh throughout the inside of the sneaker to not be stiff (pause), the [...]

For the latest Reebok Classics release, a lot of Shawn Kemp’s persona was called upon for this new Kamikaze II colorway. When it comes to the ‘Calm Before The Store’ Reebok Kamikaze 2, the entire sneaker’s backstory is based off of Shawn Kemp. Featuring a falling rain design (first debuted in 2013) that plays off [...]

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.

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 [...]
