Nike has been releasing signature sneakers for their athletes for 42 years. Kyrie Irving is the latest addition to that club and the ‘Dream’ Kyrie 1 is the first release from his series. Design queues for the Kyrie 1 sneaker were said to come from a skateboard, a brass instrument, and stars representing the Australian [...]

Even though he is wearing his signature sneaker from last season (due largely to how the width accommodates his foot since coming back from injury), the Nike KD 7 is still very popular. This upcoming colorway gets its backstory from Durant’s collegiate career. Inspired by the Longhorn State culture that Kevin Durant became fond of [...]

That new weekend sneaker release you’re looking forward to isn’t that new. It in all probability has been planned between 12-and-18 months ago. Which explains why Paul George has a Player Edition colorway of the Hyperdunk 2014 out. Without ever playing a single NBA game this season in the 2014 Hyperdunk because of injury sustained [...]

If Kevin Durant played for the Sacramento Kings or Toronto Raptors, this new KD7 colorway would be one of the illest jersey-to-sneaker combinations in the league today. The official nickname story is pretty interesting. The ‘Lightning 534’ comes from literal view of lightning striking a tower on 5th Ave and 34th Street in the Manhattan [...]

Kobe Bryant is the only NBA player to do a lot of things, including having the only Nike Elite version of a signature sneaker (made specifically for the Playoffs) carry over into a new basketball season from the previous. Ever since returning to the active list, the Swoosh has kept a steady stream of new [...]

When an athlete with a signature sneaker with his name on it opts for a team shoe, it should be noted. That has been the case with the Zoom Soldier series; the team shoe series that Nike made for LeBron James back in 2007. For the eighth version, the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier 8 Premium [...]

Not after he leaves Nike for a fatter than fat shoe deal with Under Armour. Per InsideMDSports’ Jeff Ermann: [tweet https://twitter.com/insidemdsports/statuses/496823892166467585] [...]

Social media has become the best and worst way to keep informed with current happenings. While not everything that goes up on an outlet like Twitter is reliable, it is safe to assume that if a NBA All-Star gives an unreleased sneaker a name; that is its name. Paul George took to his Instagram account [...]

When it comes to LeBron James signature sneakers, Nike has a specific way of doing things. The full height sneaker comes out, then the Elite version is unveiled before the NBA postseason and the lowtop version drops and comes out multiple colorways until the next model releases. Its down to a schedule. Sticking to the [...]

Debuted in 1992, the Air Flight Huarache is a pivotal shoe in the world of performance basketball kicks due to its minimalist design with not having more materials than need and minor visible branding. Nike is bringing back an original colorway of this classic sneaker early next month. Also releasing as sort of a package [...]
