New Nike Barkley Posite

Here is the first look at the Barkley Posite part duex.  These leaked pictures of these posites on display Kicks Mart in Beijing this weekend.

This new silhouette features sharply angled silver Foamposite with carbon fiber detailing highlights. The visible Max Air unit is out of the mix and now sits on a blue-tinted translucent sole. No details on release yet, but what do you think of this new suit? 







Ronnie Fieg x Asics GT-2 Kith Football Equipment Brazil

Brazil is the talk of the town this summer. What a great opportunity for all footwear giants to come together and collaborate on designs and colorways. This means Ronnie Fieg could not be left out of the race, and with that said, here you have the 'Ronnie Fieg x Asics GT-2 Kith Football Equipment Brazil'.


Sporting a recognizable blue suede upper, splashed with hints of yellow and green to complete the Brazilian theme. The rope laces really set off this GT-2 silhouette. 

Release information has yet to be released, but keep with us!

Nike LeBron 12?

The Nike Lebron 11 lacked heavily in the performance department. Although lately, that does not define success or failure, it will ultimately be remembered as the shoe Lebron himself couldn't play in. 

It's time to move forward, and it seems THIS is the direction the brand is going in: 



Mesh like upper with what seems to be cushioned zoom pods for a cloud like ride. 

Thoughts on what could be the first look at the Nike Lebron 12?

Yeezy's in Paris

Who better than the man himself to legit check that ass? 



Seems to be that if you have a pair of Yeezy's and you happen to stumble upon Kanye West in the streets, he wont mind signing your pair. Even if they're fake apparently. 

As Kanye West grins and signs a pair of yeezy's for a fan in Paris, he quickly lets them know that "it aint Ralph though" or rather "they aint real though".


Jordan Shine 'Black'

First appearing in March, we got a glimpse at what Jordan Brand had in store for the more high end sneaker enthusiasts. They call it the Jordan 'Shine'. 



Similar to the Jordan Future, this pair features a woven upper but differs using high end leather all sitting on an Air Jordan 1 sole.

These are slated to drop at retailers like Barneys New York, and have a price tag of $400.

Kevin Durant named League MVP for 2014


Congratulations to the 2014 league MVP Kevin Durant. His first time around, Nike has announced it's plans for a special 'MVP Edition' KD VI for NikeiD as well as a special edition MVP commemorative shirt that is available on pre-order  on Nike.com.


Via Nike Inc-

Kevin Durant is in rarefied company amongst basketball’s upper echelon. Gaudy stats mixed with an endearing charm and an unpredictable style of play. He has the courage of a warrior mixed with the humility of a gentleman.
As the awards mount – 2007 college player of the year, 2008 rookie of the year, four-time scoring champ and gold medalist – Durant’s dedication to hard work never wavers.
Nike Basketball congratulates Durant on his first MVP award. A special season that began last June with the KD VI global launch event in his hometown of Seat Pleasant, Md., has culminated with an incredible honor as he’s named the league’s most valuable player.
Nike Basketball introduces a KD MVP T-shirt along with a surprise KD VI NIKEiD shoe to be unveiled soon, combined with special lighting projections throughout downtown Oklahoma City on Wednesday evening.
As his journey continues and awards increase, KD has already set himself apart from the rest and is among the game’s best.
