The release of the latest coveted Air Jordan Retro sneakers unfortunately brings out the foolhardy and the deadly ratchet. Two people were shot outside of a Foot Locker in Minnesota on Saturday (March 5), and the cause seems to the cutting of the line. 

Under Armour hit the jackpot when it landed an endorsement deal with reigning NBA MVP Steph Curry. According to projections, Chef Curry’s latest signature sneaker, the UA Curry Two, will sell more units in 2016 than models pegged to LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. 

We’re going to say sneakerheads, and resellers, have good sense, but there are those who are fools. As for the latter, while stunting that he copped $10,000 worth of the coveted Air Jordan 12 Master, this reseller have multiple pairs swiped out of his car trunk, while the camera was rolling. 

The NBA playoffs are near, so that means signature kicks will get an “Elite” revamp. Kevin Durant’s Nike KD 8 gets the said treatment, which includes a calf-length compression sock that may or may not make your normal socks jealous.

Since Drake became an official member of the Jordan Brand family, the 6 God’s limited edition apparel has been highly coveted by fans, streetwear connoisseurs and shameless hypebeasts alike. With NBA All-Star Weekend imminent, the latest Jordan X OVO Collection has been revealed. 

The NBA All-Star game is around the corner, and the kicks and apparel dedicated to the game keep rolling in. Adidas unveiled the Crazylight Boost 2.5 PE that James Harden will be wearing during the game.

Riccardo Tisci, creative director of Givenchy and Yeezy’s buddy, again channels his love for Nike basketball kicks with the NikeLab Dunk Lux High x RT. The sneaker is an exaggeratedly proportioned take on the Nike Dunk and will surely be a hit with the artsy fartsy fashion types.

Just when it became easier to track down a coveted pair of Jordans —thanks to an influx of product on the market—it seems like it’s going to be getting that much harder to keep them on your feet. In the past two months, three 14-year-old boys in Brooklyn have been attacked by a group of adolescents and […]
