Both sneakers feature a red/gold-white color scheme to coincide with the alternate, red Miami Heat jerseys. The Nike LeBron 8 PS is set to hit retailers soon, while word on if the Jordan Fly Wade will release or not has yet to be established. Until then, let us know which game 3 worn sneaker interests you the most in our Footwear Faceoff.

The Berrics Presents “Footnotes” with Eric Koston Part 2

Posted: 06 Jun 2011 12:15 PM PDT

The Berrics - Footnotes with Eric Koston Part 2

Following the look we had this weekend at skate legend Eric Koston’s extensive sneaker collection, we’re getting a peek at the shoes he deems worthy of being stored inside, as well as the inside scoop on the design process behind the Nike SB Eric Koston One. Keeping the shoe minimal was important for Koston, who wanted to use modern performance technology, but not in a flashy way. Lunarlon is used for the midsole, which is kept discreetly within the shoe. The Koston One is in stores now.
