Beer Me


An upcoming Nike Dunk SB Low release has a booze-related theme to it


Liquor & beer inspiration is nothing new to Nike SB Dunks (Lows: Heineken, Newcastle, Miller High Life; Highs: Tecate, Mickeys), but the gradient effect of brown to black is definitely a nice touch on these.

Flint Grey Appropriate


I've been going H.A.M. on the Crazy 8 this month, so it's only fitting I add a "Flint Grey" pair to the collection...





I swear I am done with this shoe...for now.

Lin-Sane


This pic has been floating around the boards today. Is this a real Jeremy Lin's Hyperfuse PE? If so, will it release?

I am guessing this is not a PE; its basically the same color-blocking as the Russell Westbrook Hyperfuse PE (let's see the tongue to settle once and for all!)

Historical


Many folks will say these look just liked the "Miami Nights" colorway, but this "Black History Month" Lebron 9 features three noticeable differences (besides the BHM hits)...


...white swoosh instead of purple...


...detailed lining ala "Watch The Throne" & "Freegums"...


...and clear outsole.


I love the combination of subtlety (black/grey base) and in-your-face detailing.

G.O.A.T. x 2


This pair of adidas Crazy 8s will always be linked to the two greatest basketball player of our generation...


The 1998 NBA All Star game signified a passing of the torch from Michael Jordan to Kobe Bryant. In this game, MJ rocked the Playoff XIII & Mamba wore the Crazy 8 in what is now called the "ASG" colorway.


The shoe features a black/white colorway with Laker-colored accents. Still my favorite adidas hoops shoe...




Re-Run


No, these are not my pairs. But if you were like me & missed out on the Dave White x AJ 1, we have another shot....Feb 24.

Starry-Eyed


The adizero Rose 2.5 is slowly beginning to become one of my favorite basketball shoes.


Sick colorways, like the all-orange All-Star colorway shows you one more reason why...


Much more comfortable than the 2.0, the 2.5 also features miCoach capability.


There is also an all-green St. Patricks Day release coming out soon with similar color-blocking.
