The House of Hoops

By Dime Magazine

Mr. Chibbs is represented

Yesterday was the official opening of the Nike/Foot Locker House of Hoops in Harlem. They did it big with a red carpet and appearances by some of the Knicks, Chris Mullin and our very own Bobbito Garcia. Austin went to the spot’s sneak preview over the weekend and detailed some of the store’s finer points in yesterday’s Smack.

The rest of the crew went by yesterday afternoon to check it out and to take some pix. Long story short, the place is sick. We could easily drop serious cash in there; the store is full of exclusives. We highly recommend swinging by if you can.

   I remember hearing that there are less than 50 of the Ben Gordon shoes in the world.

   Did a certain member of the crew go weak in the knees when Mullin showed up?

   First off, both the Kobe’s and the Gordon’s were sick. Second, no joke, the Larry Hughes player editions (they didn’t say his name, instead saying, “Homegrown”

   sorry for the cut off before… as I was saying,

   First off, both the Kobe’s and the Gordon’s were sick. Second, no joke, the Larry Hughes player editions (they didn’t say his name, instead saying, “Homegrown”) were really nice as well. I’m not sure could wear a shoe with Ben Gordon’s initials but the Homegrown shoe was a little more subtle (I definitely couldn’t wear a shoe with Larry Hughes initials).

   I’m partial to the Durants. They’ve got a postage stamp with his mom’s initials on the tongue — since Moms used to work at the post office. If you mind green and yellow shoes, the Durants are sick.

   I also want the Z-Bo player editions.
