Kyrie Irving

Shortly after signing LeBron James during the offseason, the Cleveland Cavaliers shipped No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Kevin Love.

This is the latest colorway of his new Kyrie 1 basketball shoe. Named for his deceptive [...]

Marketing is a funny thing. With the current climate in sportswear, signature athletes being active doesn’t always affect sales. LeBron James is out for a few more games (in his longest inactive session of his career) & Kevin Durant is still wearing his sneaker from last season but don’t expect this to stop the well-designed [...]
