DJ Clark Kent & Dave Jeff Address Big Boi's Suspect Sneakers, Sneaker Pimps

This week’s article about Big Boi and the shoes he wore on stage at the Sneaker Pimps cause quite a stir. Both online and off, questions arose how Big Boi made it to the stage at a sneaker show wearing suspicious sneakers and why he was not questioned on stage like other attendees of the show.

Nice Kicks caught up with the Dave Jeff of PHLI and DJ Clark Kent (Sneaker Pimps host and DJ respectively) to ask a few questions.

Did Big Boi get a special “pass” for wearing what he wore?  Does he even care about the shoes he was wearing?   Click here to read their answers and more.

lil-wayne-vs-pete-wentz

When it comes to placing kicks on celebrities who are in the limelight, no one does it better than Supra.

In addition to having Terry Kennedy hit a non-stop multiple city promo tour, the skate brand gifted some A-listers (hmm, Pete Wentz maybe is a B- lister) with the Supra TK Society.

Today's edition of "who rocked it better" puts rapper-turned-rocker Lil Wayne against Wentz.

Which “rock star” wore it better? Let us know in the comments and vote.

As NBA players tend to prefer flashy colors that match their uniforms, you probably won’t see these too often on NBA courts, but black on black is never a bad choice for your own personal hooping. These are your typical Hypermax’s, great for balling and the black on black colorway will look good for a long time. Nike Hypermax Black/Black Nike Hypermax Black/Black Nike Hypermax Black/Black

Vans x Crooks & Castles Fremont Hi
The black version of the Vans x Crooks & Castles Fremont Hi, flew right off the shelves when they were first released, so it would only make sense that this white colorway will do something similar.

In the latest LeBron Vs Kobe ad, Bryant (the puppet) jumps over a car similar to last year’s Nike Hyperdunk Ad. “You trust your boy?” It’s hard to trust Kobe jumping over a car again if he really struggles with his shoelaces like this!

Nike RT1 White/White/Purple

Posted: 29 May 2009 01:35 PM PDT

Nike RT1 White/White/PurpleThe sneaker beef for the hottest high top is once again heating up. TK recently spoke his mind on the subject. Kanye’s Yeezy’s are right around the corner, and now a new colorway of Jim Jones’ choice of footwear, the Nike RT1 is hitting retailers.

The Nike RT1 has generated a lot of buzz for being a simple solid rubber outsole with no Air Unit. The style is a good look, but the technology leaves room for improvement. Despite this, the RT1 is still fly, no lie. (Possibly for its sub-$100 price tag and an easy $40-50 under the “other” competitors in the Swag Supermarket). So does that mean those of us that have, or will be copping these, are just bag boys?

Let us know whether or not you’ll be scooping up a pair of these by clicking here.

Crooks & Castles x Vans Fremont Hi White

Posted: 29 May 2009 12:35 PM PDT

Crooks & Castles x Vans Fremont Hi White

First off, this sneaker will release exclusively at Crooks 8021 flagship store (see store info here) and the Crooks&Castles online store. Similar to the black colorway, this shoe also contains Gucci inspired accent colors on the ankle straps. To coincide with the ankle straps, additional green details appear on the heel panel and outsole. As stated earlier, look for the Crooks & Castles x Vans Fremont Hi White to drop on June 6th, 2009.

Jordan B’Loyal Back/Red

Posted: 29 May 2009 12:23 PM PDT

Jordan B'Loyal Back/Red

This (can we call it a retro?) latest from Jordan Brand, the B’Loyal, originally released a few years ago. As can be expected, influences from a number of classic J’s can be seen in these kicks.

The Jordan B’Loyal has the feel of a Jordan 6, with the always popular, smooth patent leather toebox. A unique heel tab made of plastic is an interesting look to say the least. Contrasting stitching is a nice touch as well.

Available July 1st. What do you think, hit or miss?

Nike Hypermax Black/Black

Nike Hypermax Black/Black

The Nike Hypermax has found a place on the feet of many NBA players throughout the Playoffs in our Kicks On Court series.

The Nike Hypermax Black/Black colorway isn’t likely to see much action in the NBA, but black on black is always a good look for the courts. Only a hint of silver finds it’s way onto these kicks in the form of very minimal accents. You can pick up this colorway at Finish Line for $130.

Nike Air Max 97 LUX “Camo”

Posted: 29 May 2009 08:23 AM PDT

Nike Air Max 97 LUX Camo

A sneaker from the Air Max line that has been overlooked by Nike for a while is the Air Max 97. The last version we saw was towards the end of last year, with the LUX Stealth colorway. Six months later, a new LUX version has arrived at Sweden’s Caliroots.

The Nike Air Max 97 LUX “Camo” features the smooth and seamless look of the LUX 97’s. The colorway is done up in a camo print of greys which results in a unique and premium runner. In addition, the material of choice is the always popular 3M colorway.

Unfortunately, the currency conversion that puts these in the $375 price range is a little hard to stomach.
