Christmas basketball sneakers are a big thing now. At when it comes to kicks for hooping, Jordan Brand is usually upper echelon with their performance silhouettes. Take a look at what the premiere Jordan players will be wearing on their feet on December 25th. With colorways heavily inspired by the ‘Cardinal’ Air Jordan VII (7), [...]

NBA games throughout Christmas Day has become just as much of a fixture as football on Thanksgiving. Throughout the last few years, Christmas-themed sneakers have become something many look forward to with similar vigor as the games themselves. adidas looks to end one of their strongest footwear years with their upcoming ‘Bad Dreams’ collection.

In much of the 1990s & early 2000s, Reebok was the premiere basketball sneaker brand in the NBA. With a dwindling pro hoops roster, it would be fair to call Gerald Green the flagship player for the Vector brand. The high-flying Green took to the hardwood recently to debut the ‘OG’ colorway of the Reebok [...]

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.

Reebok brought The Blast back for its first Retro release in 2014 and started off with the OG two-toned colorway from 1995-96 NBA season season. After experimenting with [...]

Sneaker release date be damned is one of the things I took away from Chris Paul’s recent performance in a Seattle AM game on Saturday, August 23rd. Aside from recording a triple-double in effortless style, CP3 (unknowingly or not) debuted his new signature sneaker before Jordan Brand even announces it. After having the best performance [...]

When Reebok brought back their Blacktop division, which designed sneakers specifically for outdoor/streetball play in 1990, I was excited for the return of their classic Blacktop Battleground silhouettes to return. With the Blacktop Battleground III steadily releasing throughout this year and the news that the Blacktop Battleground II coming back in 2015, it would have [...]

On Thursday morning the participants arrived at The Avenue Colleges gym for the first workout of this year’s Elite 24 festivities. After a light cardio workout, the participants were divided into groups to work on different skills at different stations. Then player rotation were formed to allow teams to rotate in-and-out seamlessly while scrimmaging. Not [...]
