You didn’t think Nike would roll into the postseason quietly, did you? To celebrate the “epic journey through the playoffs,” as Nike says, the Swoosh is unleashing its Elite Series lineup in two dope new colorways – both Home and Away.
The crew up in Beaverton is never one for subtlety and its latest creation is both classic and flashy. And starting today, you can cop the new LeBron 9 PS, Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 and Kobe VII online or in-stores, right as your squad heads into the second season. Read More »

The Nike LeBron 8 PS was one of my favorite releases from the past year, and still gets time on the court for me. But out of last year’s LeBron releases, nothing came close to eclipsing the hype of the “South Beach” LeBron 8s. Now, Nike is bringing out a sequel – the Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite “South Beach” and it’s set to release on June 2 for $250. That’s a lot of cake, and while this one may not appear as iconic as last year’s “South Beach” version, it still has fans of LeBron James’ line going crazy.

Need another reason to love Bruce Lee? Here you go. With last year’s LeBron 8 as the base, Laptop LaSane went all out with a custom designed centered around the famed martial artist. A yellow base is highlighted by red accents, red laces, red splashes on the soles and a red-eyed dragon on the tongue. Sadly, these will probably never be available. Read More »

And they said Kobe Bryant could never sell sneakers. Besides his own signature line, Bryant is the inspiration for these joints, the Nike Air Force 1 Premium “Black Mamba.” Courtesy of Nice Kicks, we have pictures of the sneaker that’s considered the heir to last year’s Nike Air Force 1 “Kobe Bryant.” These joints have an anthracite upper with purple leather lining (with a matching “AIR” logo), and fresh white soles. These will drop in select Nike retailers on April 28. Read More »

Who remembers the Y2K craze? The world was supposed to end, or at the least, society was supposed to collapse. We got a terrible Will Smith album (Or if you were a misguided soul like me, you probably liked it.). We were all planning to end up like John Cusack in 2012, flying planes through buildings and angling for tickets to some special ship. But the best thing to ever came out of the year 2000 was the Sportscenter commercial. Who remembers it? Mark McGwire smashing computers. Charley Steiner, with a tie around his forehead, yelling, “FOLLOW ME! FOLLOW ME TO FREEDOM!” Read More »
