The futuristic look in the LeBron James signature line continued with the Nike LeBron 13. Like the two shoes before it, this thirteenth LeBron sneaker features a Hyperposite upper. This material is a variation of Foamposite, providing a durable wrap that molds to your feet. Outside of the zoned Hyperposite […]
The tech on the LeBron 12 was more of the same, with a Foamposite support piece returning and Zoom Air being slightly altered in hexagons on the sole. What didn’t carry over was jersey LeBron wore, as he announced he was coming home to Cleveland to get that elusive championship […]
Kyrie Irving had a solid freshman year while winning the Rookie of the Year award in 2012. Irving didn’t shine until the second year, though, where the mask and highlights were on. Kyrie became well-known for his deceptive crossovers. The highlight that made Kyrie Irving a household name, however, was […]
While Irving found a ton of success in the Kyrie 1, he also ended that season on a low while nursing an injury during the NBA Finals. Kyrie was locked in for the 2015-16 season, and that was represented in a way with his footwear. The Kyrie 2 pretty much mirrored the […]
Late 2014 was the start of something special for Kyrie, who joined the likes of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant as a signature Nike athlete. The shoe went away from the full-length Zoom Air cushioning from the Hyperrev to a minimal Zoom-in-the-forefoot setup. Kyrie’s unique playing style when pushing […]
Before Harden even played an official minute in the NBA, James was rocking the Kobe 4 in Summer League. Before that, Harden was even rocking the Nike LeBron 6 at Arizona State. After summer league, Harden wore the KD 2 and Kobe 6 briefly as well. You can find the Nike Kobe […]
With a championship locked down, there was no doubt in anybody’s mind that Kyrie Irving became a legit superstar. All eyes were on Irving on Christmas Day, when he debuted the Kyrie 3 (in the “Samurai” colorway seen above) and picked up where he left off against the Golden State Warriors. […]
One of the earlier sneakers in James Harden’s career was the Nike Hyperdunk 2011 Low. The Hyperdunk 2011 was more of the same in terms of continuing the “every-man” playability in the Hyperdunk line. This sneaker featured a synthetic Hyperfuse upper with Flywire cables woven in. This made the shoe […]
One of the weirdest sneaker worn by James Harden was the Sharkley. While technically a performance sneaker at the time, the shoe was essentially a lifestyle offering that combines classics in the Shake Ndestrukt (made famous by Dennis Rodman) as well as the Air Max CB94 (worn by Charles Barkley.) […]
James Harden’s rookie look may not be recognizable from the Harden we all know today. The Beard… didn’t have much of a beard and his mohawk hairstyle had not developed yet. Harden was still rocking with the Oklahoma City Thunder, coming off the bench for defensive-minded guard Thabo Sefolosha. James was […]
