In a time where brick-and-mortar sneaker stores seem to be dying off to make room for more webstores, ruVILLA is one of the few that has been around for over a quarter decade. That is over 25 years. In celebration, VILLA created the ‘Final Draft’ edition of the adidas Top Ten sneaker. With a very [...]

When Nike introduced the ‘South Beach’ sneaker colorway into the signature sneaker series for LeBron James with the ‘Pre-Heat’ LeBron 8, I don’t think King James or the Swoosh had any (real) idea of how much waves this color combination would cause. The ‘South Beach’ colorway is arguably the most popular debuted on a LeBron [...]

FILA worked with Lemar & Dauley on the ‘Mojito Cage’, a teal pigskin collaboration colorway of The Cage basketball sneaker. Featuring all FILA branding on the right sneaker and complete Lemar & Dauley logos and phrases on the left (like “WAVE TRIBE” on the inside of the tongue), the needle point flower pattern on the [...]

Back in April we brought news that Reebok was bringing back their Blacktop series of sneakers designed for outdoor basketball by re-releasing the Boulevard and Blacktop II models from their archive. Designed with current materials, the Reebok Retaliate takes the outsole durability that the Blacktop series has been known for and adds a modern twist. [...]

When Nike unveiled the Kobe 9 Elite, many would-be consumers would be turned off by the height of the sneaker but Nike has the remedy for that with this lowtop version. We were first introduced to the Kobe 9 Elite Low a few months back with the two colorways that saw a limited release overseas [...]

While 2014 marks the 25th [...]

Inspired by the yellow Cleveland Cavaliers uniform, Nike is releasing a Kyrie Irving-themed Player Edition pair of the Zoom Hyperrev. There is another, green colorway of the Zoom Hyperrev releasing with Kyrie Irving branding the same day that these hit stores, but this shoe was worn by Irving during the season in-game whereas the other [...]

Russell Westbrook is on record for record three triple-doubles in the last five NBA Playoff games for the Thunder. Even if last night’s triple-double wasn’t authentic Westbrook’s Player Exclusive pair of the Air Jordan XX9 months before the shoe’s release in any color is definitely real. Seen in last night’s Thunder win over the Los [...]

After debuting 20 years ago in 1994, adidas will continue to keep Dikembe Mutombo relevant by re-releasing the adidas Mutombo II. In 1994 during the 1993-94 NBA Playoffs, Dikembe Mutombo was apart of a Denver Nuggets team who was seeded 8th in the Western Conference who went on to beat the number one-ranked Seattle Supersonics [...]

After showing the ‘Orange Pack’ colorway on the FILA KJ7, we take a look at the FILA Stackhouse Spaghetti from the same set. Inspired by Miami scenery, the ‘Orange Pack’ FILA Spaghetti takes its color blocking from a combination of the Miami Beach sands and the setting sun. This is the first colorway of the [...]
