| Sn’eads “What If?” Posted: 14 Jun 2011 12:28 PM PDT Looking back at the last year in both hoops and sneakers, it’s near impossible to not ask “What if?” for many players, especially LeBron James. From making “decisions” to watching Dirk go mad, King James has had quite the year. Now our favorite animator, R E E, looks back on what has happened and forward with what could have happened in this animated short.

| Kicks On Courtside: Top 35 Celebrity Sneaker Sightings This Season Posted: 14 Jun 2011 11:18 AM PDT 
Throughout the 2010-2011 NBA season, our Kicks On Court column showcased and highlighted some of the best kicks seen on the court. Players such as LeBron James, Gilbert Arenas, Nate Robinson, Kobe Bryant and others were seen rocking player exclusives and limited releases on a nightly basis. However, it seems as if the celebrities spotted at these games were in direct competition with the players in regards to sneaker heat. At the end of most Kicks On Court posts, we showed you celebrities such as Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Spike Lee, Jay-Z, George Lopez and others rocking some serious sneaker heat. Were the celebrities strapped with more sneaker artillery than the actual players? Take a look at our five-page Kicks On Courtside: Top 35 Celebrity Sneaker Sightings This Season feature.

Rafael Nadal is without-a-doubt, one of the most heavily favored competitors in this year’s Wimbledon tournament. Coming off a championship performance in last month’s French Open, expectations have never been higher for the Spaniard. Today, images have surfaced of exactly what tennis shoes “Rafa” will be wearing on the grass starting June 20th. This pair of Nike Air Max Court Ballistec 3.3s features a mostly white upper that is complimented with blue accents on the midsole, Swoosh, inner liner and lace eyelets. The Nike Air Max Courtballistec 3.3 has been engineered for maximum performance with a dual-density TPU upper for added stability, hexagonal patterned perforations for breathability, an enmeshed inner sleeve for comfort, and a lunarlon/Max Air unit combination on the forefoot and heel for pure comfort.

Do you the feel the need, the need for tweed? Vans has dressed its fan-favorite 106 Vulc in attire that would make the most intellectual of college philosophy professors envious, thanks to its tweed and leather combo. Rather than opt for elbow patches though, the California team has made use of a leather heel panel and matching laces. Open your mind (and your wallet), and scoop a pair now at Nice Kicks for $65 or online at Shop.NiceKicks.com. Vans California 106 Vulc
