The LeBron 16 returns in what should be called a Homage to Home color. The ‘Oreo’ 16 features embroidered and debossed cues recognizing Akron and LeBron’s kids. The heel and tongue is where the customization happens and on the insole.

I make a mistake in this video in saying 2016, but the story is the same. In 2017 Kyrie lost the NBA Finals series. He left for Boston and in the process he kept some of the confetti flying around as the Warriors celebrated their win. He made a series of statements about how he…
Kyrie is the best showman in the league since Shaq. He hasn’t dropped a platinum rap album, but with his Uncle Drew commercials and movie he is the only NBA star to cross over since the 90s (we don’t count Thunderstruck over here). This pair of the Kyrie 4 captured the red carpet, velvet rope…
Footwear Design Academy founded by D’Wayne Edwards, former Jordan Brand designer, just made a major move that is a game changer. The school of sneaker design just garnered a 2 Million dollar investment from Foot Locker. This makes two Black owned companies that Foot Locker has invested in to start the new year. This is…
I visit Hibbett Sports locations throughout the region, not as a consultant, but as a customer. I know many of the managers and the one consistent thing about Hibbett Sports is that basically many of the employees and managers that have gone through the system have either moved into higher positions or better stores. The…
The Air Max 1, in my opinion, is the best Air Max ever created. This Curry colorway returns in a retro release with a rich suede in beautiful browns with a pop of dark blue.

A throwback to 2013 arrives in this pick up of the Kyrie 1. Looking at this version, Dungeon – named after Kyrie’s basement where he lifted weights when he couldn’t get outside and workout, we get to see the cues Kyrie had placed on the shoe prior to winning a championship and becoming a father….
The more rugged Utility Air Force 1 features a few useful upgrades and a few questionable additions. The shoe retains its overall shape of course, but a scuff tech toe box is added, which makes sense, but the lacing system has been replaced by an elastic band, magnetic clasp lockdown system (which works now that…

This is not a typical Authentic Verification. I give you the UPC codes and look at the shoe, but while I was looking at this I realize this was a shoe that felt like a test for Nike and Jordan Brand. When a company has the ability to recall a shoe from their wholesale accounts…
Chi City, 312/773, immediately brings to mind the championships of Michael Jordan. The XX3 is one of the most elegant designed Jordans. The TPU around the base of the upper looks like a jewel and the tumbled leather is cut like brogue dress shoe. Add to that embossed signature details and the emrboidered logos at…
The New York City-based athletic footwear and apparel retailer on Thursday announced a $2 million investment in Pensole Footwear Design Academy, the Portland-based school that Edwards started in 2010 to teach the next generation of designers. The investment is the biggest sign yet that Pensole has emerged as a critical part of the athletic footwear…
All red kicks have been a thing for Nike since Kanye’s Red October. This 12 though might be the best version of a red shoe. With a premium suede build and a metallic JUMPMAN logo at the midfoot any fan of red should really love this pair.

As much as I love the chunky, old school look of the Air More Uptempo, it’s time to retire the model and put it back in the vault. There are far too many colors and right now there are at least six versions on deep discount, but Nike continues to release the classic in different…
When Nike introduced the 270 cushioning system last year and began rolling out the Max Air 270 they also dropped the Force 270; a lifestyle design based on classic basketball silhouettes. The shoe was awkward at first glance but the shoe sold fairly well initially. The sales slowed down and you can find those models…
The Foamposite isn’t “back”, but it’s performing than it was when Nike continuously pumped out graphic covered Foamposites. The Foamposite remains a replacement for those who won’t the ruggedness of a boot, but the feel of a basketball shoe. The unique upper and carbon fiber midsole over Zoom Air cushioning makes for a surprisingly comfortable…
With the news that adidas is attempting to take some of the market share away from indie brand Ewing Athletics by digging into their retro archives to release the Rivalry worn by Patrick Ewing, Ewing Athletics makes sure they let their fans know that they are still here and dropping classic footwear from the legend…

Japanese streetwear culture is heavily influenced by skate culture. The two are linked in a way that makes Japan more important in streetwear in some instances than the US market. This Vans model continues a strong run by the classic skate company in releasing refreshed models of their classics. The checkerboard is still present as…
The classic basketball shoe turned skate model was released in a flurry of colors in 2017. The releases were not mainstream and didn’t hit Foot Locker accounts or small retail and the online response was lukewarm. The shoes have been showing up at Nike Clearance Stores at great prices and there have been some nice…
