Jeremy Scott Tells the Stories Behind his adidas Sneakers

Love his work or hate his work you know his work. And you know it's his before you see his name. Yup, that's Jeremy Scott. JS has become the leader of the new school in a casual sport market that was marred by simplicity. Rather than dress down classics he's revamped them in a Frankenstein manner. Some have been received as scary good, some just scary. What was he thinking when he went to work on these abstract adidas creations? Find out exactly that in his interview with Complex.

Jordan 8.0 White/Grey/Blue

The Air Jordan 8 has often been identified as one of the first sneakers to step away from the traditional designs seen from the Air Jordan 3 to the Air Jordan 7.

Here's a look at the white/grey/blue colorway of the Jordan 8.0, rumored to drop at select stores such as Ruvilla on October 22. Stay tuned to Nice Kicks as more images and release information is sure to surface in the near future.

Kobe Bryant’s Greatest Sneaker Moments

Posted: 23 Aug 2011 10:28 AM PDT

Kobe Bryant's Greatest Sneaker Moments

33 years of life have seen Kobe Bryant transcend from Jelly Bean Jr. to the Black Mamba. The Oakley wearing, Brandy-prom-dating, high school phenom made a name for himself early signing with the Lakers at age 17. While he wouldn't come into his own on court until his second season he'd find himself with a sneaker contract right away. A signature series with adidas, PE filled free agency, and signing with Nike led to many great sneaker moments. In honor of his birthday see the best at Complex.
