Breast cancer awareness takes center stage on the Nike Air Max LeBron VII NFW ‘Think Pink’. A predominately white upper features patent leather wrapped around the toe box with woven leather taking the place of Flywire. Patent pink accents grace the the logo and the ankle detail complimenting the pink Air Max sole and laces. Diana Taurasi was spotted wearing this colorway on court recently, is this a makeup you would like to see release?

Video: Nike 1LOVE – The Bronx

Posted: 09 Aug 2010 11:58 AM PDT

The third installment of Nike Sportswear’s “1LOVE” campaign focuses on the Bronx. This time around, Cory Gunz talks about what makes his borough so special, even referring to it as “the birthplace of hip hop.” With New York City abuzz about the World Basketball Festival, it only makes sense that Nike is showing love to the city as a whole, one borough at a time.

Anta KG

Posted: 09 Aug 2010 10:58 AM PDT

Anta KG Last week we gave you a preview of the new Kevin Garnett casual line, today we bring you the real deal. The Anta KG marks the first signature shoe for Garnett provided by the Chinese brand. With lines reminiscent of the Nike Air Darwin, the new model uses smooth leather over a clean midsole. Garnett’s new logo graces the midsole strap with the Anta logo popping off the heel. Three colorways have surfaced with two drawing inspiration from the Celtic’s along with a Navy/Yellow makeup perhaps paying tribute to his Farragut Career Academy high school days. What are your thoughts on the new Anta KG line?
