Preppy...With A Twist

Take the classic boat shoe....mash it up with some sneaker colorways....and bang!  You have the new Cole Haan Yacht Boat Shoe.

Just The (Fair)Fax

The LeBron IV is not a favorite of many.  Some people think it looks like a space boot.  Others don't like its big & bulky feel compared to its predecessors.  But for some reason, I love this shoe.

Here is the Fairfax "Away" PE colorway of the LBJ IV.  If you don't know, Fairfax is one of the best high school basketball programs in the nation.

These definitely have a USC feel to them...

Quite the backlash, eh Mr. Petrie?

Laser Beamed

The Nike Huarache 2K4 has been called one of the best performing basketball shoes in recent years. In 2012, Nike decided to retro the shoe in several colorways. But one of the original colorways to kick off such a successful model was this Kobe Bryant, lasered edition...


This shoe was one of the models he wore before his Zoom Kobe signature line was launched in 2005.


Still wearing #8 at the time, his name could also be found lasered on the ankle strap...


The new retro colorways are just OK, IMO. It's hard to top these original bad boys.

Cheetah 2?

I'm a little confused, as I thought the original installment of the Kobe 7 Predator Pack (Shark/Wolf/Poison Dart Frog) was the Cheetah on Christmas Day 2011. But I guess the above Cheetah pair is dropping in August (8/25/12). Weird.

Just For Kicks

Check out the Lebron 9 Low "Liverpool FC" colorway. Lebron owns a minority stake in Liverpool FC, so peep the low-top to match the colors of the home kit with team logo on the heel.
