Smart money says Javier Baez has two lockers in the Cubs clubhouse. The sheer quantity of heat he cycles through on a daily basis is insane. The batting gloves don’t take up much space so why not have a plethora of options… One style Baez likes is the new Huarache […]
When Gleyber Torres gets his new cleats in, we’re the first to see them. Gley (@gleyberdavid) has been a WPW follower (and contributor) since he was in the Cubs system, so you know he’s got plus swag. We created every single Nike Clipper cleat that Gleyber sent through to us […]
Another rendition of the Clipper ’17 for Gleyber Torres, and this time its the Independence Day variety. These cleats, as you can see, are designed to compliment each other in honor of the American flag. With his remarkable performance to date, Gleyber is working his way into some SMU cleats […]
A number of milestones were hit with this obscure sneaker that was likely named after LeBron’s rookie season stat line. Mr. James hits his first game-winner in the shoe against the Charlotte Bobcats. Additionally, Lebron played his first playoff game in the Nike LeBron 20-5-5, notching 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 […]
While the LeBron 3 was outshined by a random team shoe in the 2005-06 season (see next entry,) the King did win his first All-Star MVP award in the sneaker. He also recorded a solid regular season game of 43 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 blocks, 2 steals, and 1 […]
While technically his second signature shoe, the Nike LeBron 2 was the first to bear James’ namesake. (The first was dubbed the Air Zoom Generation.) The LeBron 2 was also the first to feature his signature L23 logo that remained on his sneakers for his first Cleveland Cavaliers run. Another […]
All eyes were on the 1st overall pick in 2003, with many wanting to see LeBron’s first signature shoe after he signed a 90 million dollar deal with Nike. James first signature shoe, the Air Zoom Generation, was designed to be the comfiest basketball shoe ever which LeBron co-signed the […]
As LeBron’s game evolved, so did his sneakers. This was evident with the bulkier silhouette on the LeBron 4, which featured Foamposite on the upper for added support. LeBron also rocked one of the most coveted colorways in his signature line (the LeBron 4 “Graffiti”) during that year’s all-star game. You […]
Return of the strap (oh my God.) Return of the strap. While the LeBron team line has a bunch of straps at this point, the main signature line didn’t feature straps except for the 2. While LeBron didn’t reach the heights from previous years, the King did win All-Star MVP […]
The first sneaker in LeBron James’ longstanding team-line was filled with memorable moments, particularly in the playoffs. The King rocked the Nike LeBron Zoom Soldier 1 throughout the postseason that ultimately led him to his first finals appearance. He also wore the shoes in an incredible double-overtime thriller against the […]
