| Nike Alpholution Posted: 28 May 2009 12:39 PM PDT  It looks as if Nike has been up in the kitchen cooking up more hybridizations. With inspiration from the Alpha Force and its Charles Barkley fame, this colorway will be hitting retailers July 1st. The Nike Alpholution will first be released in this white, black and Fresh Water-esque emerald green accent colors. The silhouette features some classic infusions, like the strap across the midfoot, with updated tech features like a visible Zoom Air unit in the heel area. A good mix of materials, including contrasting mesh mixed into the uppers, and higher tongue than the classic Alpha Force make this one a good look for the summer.

| Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Sneakers Posted: 28 May 2009 07:56 AM PDT  Kanye’s designed Louis Vuitton sneakers are about to hit LV stores soon. The shoes have been arriving in select locations for “meet and greets” if you will. The Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Sneakers feature a healthy dose of pastel (Pastelle?) colors mixed into sophisticated silhouettes. The level of quality is obviously top notch, but really there is one question that many people have.

| Kicks On Court: Does Kobe Lace Up the “Playoff” PE Only in Must-Wins? Posted: 28 May 2009 07:29 AM PDT  Since the 2008-09 postseason began, we have spotted Kobe Bryant in multiple colorways of the Nike Zoom Kobe IV. However, our Kicks On Court seems to notice that Kobe laces up a specific colorway when his team needs a win at the most appropriate time. Two weeks ago, we spotlighted Kobe wearing the Nike Zoom Kobe IV “Playoffs” in a must-win game 7 of the Houston Rockets-Los Angeles Lakers series. Likewise, in game 5 of the Denver-Los Angeles series, Bryant pulled out the “Playoff” edition again. This is the first time he has worn this particular shoe in this series. Does Kobe feel that the “Playoff” shoe is good luck for him? Click here to view more kicks worn by Carmelo Anthony, Chris Anderson, Lamar Odom and others. |

| Nike Footscape HF Posted: 28 May 2009 07:27 AM PDT  Hiroshi Fujiwara is no stranger to Nike, he has designed a handful of uniquely styled kicks in his long time partnership with Nike. Simplicity seems to be his forte, and his latest creations follow suit. The Nike Footscape HF will be hitting Tier Zero spots in two new colorways shortly. A nice combination of blue and black team up with grey and white for one makeup. While the always popular Neon Yellow covers the most part of the second makeup, which is accented with black, white and a touch of grey nubuck on the toe area. Some Fujiwara makes a simple color combination work on the Footscape silhouette, which is far from simple. Available at Nike Tier Zero locations soon. |
