For the 30th anniversary of Jordan Brand, they brought back the Air Jordan 20; which came out for the 20th anniversary of Jordan. When it comes to the 2015 re-release of the ‘Stealth’ Jordan 20, it is like being in a time machine. This OG colorway of the Air Jordan XX (from 2005) was one [...]

This is a good LeBron 12 colorway with a cool backstory. When it comes to an athlete like LeBron James, the sky is the limit. Just the following day after LeBron James chose to opt(ion) out of his Miami Heat contract, there was a lot of talk on the social networks about the possibility that [...]

Sneaker colorways are at an all-time high with the nickname inspirations and backstories. The first colorway of the LeBron 12 Low is a perfect example of that.

What is arguably the best (and most popular) fusion sneaker, the Jordan Dub Zero is back in 2015 with a new colorway. I really don’t want to call these the ‘Laser’ Jordan Dub Zero because, I feel, that would be the same as saying that the Dub-Zero didn’t have lazered print on the upper when [...]

Featuring doppler radar graphics on the Hyperposite heel, the ‘Weatherman’ KD7 is colored mostly green to represent the chromakey that [...]
