I apologize for my sneaker absence this past week - I've caught Stanley Cup fever! The city of Chicago has waited 49 years for this. I haven't seen the city party like this ever.
Congrats Blackhawks!
World Cup action today - go USA!
Anyways, back to the kicks. Some images of the Premio Bin 23 AJ XIII have surfaced...
Hmmm....it's reminisce of the white/wheat XIII retro from a few years back. Yet another different colorway from the Bin 23 AJ II & AJ IX....white, desert clay & team red. I'm not so sure about this one...
I do like how the Bin 23 wax logo is in a non-obnoxious location, compared to the AJ II & AJ IX...
The World Basketball Showcase was held in New York this past week.
The showcase was to promote the World Basketball Festival on August 12-15, an event that features the 2010 USA Basketball National Team playing scrimmages and exhibition games all over New York -- from Rucker Park, to Madison Square Garden, to a constructed open-air court in Times Square.
The festival acts as a warm-up for the US team to compete in the FIBA World Basketball Championship later that fall in Turkey. It is also the first event collaboration between brands Nike, Jordan Brand and Converse.
The companies wasted no time in using the showcase to unveil some of their upcoming product; Sneaker News captured some of the lines here: Converse Fall BB 2010, Nike Hyperdunk 2010 (above) and the much anticipated Nike Hyperfuse.
And lastly, a reborn classic...
Reebok will introduce the Insta Pump Fury 2010. The upper remains the same, but the midsole was reconstructed for a more sleek & current look, rather than bulky split midsole of the original.
World Cup action today - go USA!
