We won't sacrifice nike air force 1 07 performance for aesthetic. If someone (at Nike/Jordan) then someone should tell me (or Tinker) "our time is done." Los Angeles is a Lakers town. Because of that, Los Angeles is also a Kobe Bryant town. And because of that, Los Angeles is also a Nike town, on top of having a local Niketown in Beverly Hills, a giant flagship store in Santa Monica, a new sprawling retail location at The Grove on Fairfax and a few outlet stores sprinkled around the area for good measure. No brand has dominated a city quite like Nike does with LA. Hell, it took Jordan Brand how many years to open a store in Chicago? Meanwhile, Nike Los Angeles has been hosting Kobe Q&As, Drew League documentaries, Kevin Hart mini-marathons and running events on top of a freaking Los Angeles skyscraper.

And that was just this year. So when the Nike Vault  located a few steps away from the Staples Center  hosts an intimate event celebrating an icon and it doesn t include the Black Mamba, you know something big  and new  is happening. With Kobe s career winding down, the search was on for the next star that will carry the Lakers and in many ways, the city of Los Angeles, into the future. We don t know nike air jordan 1 how it s actually going to turn out, but we think Nike Los Angeles has high hopes for D Angelo Russell. Maybe the giant poster that Russell posed right next might have tipped us off. Not like they ever did that for Nick Young& This past Saturday, Nike Vault opened its doors to pay tribute to the legendary Nike Air Force 1 while also welcoming D Angelo to Los Angeles.

With the Nike Kyrie 2 nike air max 1 becoming Nike Basketball s best-selling model last year thanks to a combination of style and price, don t be surprised to see the Nike PG 1 challenge for that title this year for the same reasons. And with the sneaker selling briskly online, you might want to consider getting yourself a pair as soon as possible. Hell, it s what we did& When you get a professional reviewing a sneaker, you expect a few things. Maybe you want to hear about what the traction is like on the sneaker and whether or not it collects dust. There s the cushioning and if the shoe can withstand the rigors of an intense game of basketball. Then there are those who don t care for any of that and just want to know if it looks good and if it has  Nike Air on the back or a Jumpman.

On nike air max 90 womens April 13, 2016, Kobe Bryant played his final NBA game and scored 60 points in a virtuoso performance because of course he did; he was going to try and top every final game by a superstar athlete ever and amazingly enough, he succeeded. Meanwhile, sneakerheads on that same day flooded Staples Center s Nike Vault for a shot at the Black Mamba Pack and NIKEiD to order the limited edition Mamba Day graphic. One of the fastest  if not the fastest  selling NIKEiD options ever offered, demand for the Mamba Day graphic was so great that the wait time went from the usual 30 days or less to 2-3 months. When I placed my order, the original estimate was sometime in July. Lost in the hype of two highly anticipated Air Jordan releases, a monumental WWE and PUMA collaboration, the Final Four, and another adidas Ultra Boost collab is the launch of the Kobe Bryant s next signature shoe, the Nike Kobe AD NXT.

It looks like we will all find out this weekend what the final verdict from the sneaker community will be. But for now, check out our early look at the kicks courtesy of Lapstone and Hammer and hear our thoughts on the drop. Don t forget to check out our Nike Air Jordan 4 White/Cement launch page for all the latest info, images and videos about this highly anticipated release. This Friday, Nike will finally be releasing the ever-elusive Nike Flyknit Racer  Multicolor 2.0 stateside. With leaks dating back to last year, this very popular colorway that turns pink, blue and volt yarn into something beautiful has been on the minds of sneakerheads everywhere, especially those poor saps who missed out on the first release back in 2013. Who wasn t one of those poor saps two years? Why, yours truly, of course.

I ve been enjoying my Racers for two years now and while I admittedly never run in them (way more comfortable running in either Air Max, Frees or Boost), they immediately became a regular part of my  walking nike air max 97 mens shoes rotation from the day I copped them. The good folks at Converse blessed us with a pair of their updated One Star Skate. The sneaker now features some really premium materials and Nike s Lunarlon cushioning technology in the form of a drop-in midsole. The combination of classic style and modern tech makes for a fantastic Summer skate option. Check out the video above and photos below for a detailed look. What do you guys think of Converse with Nike tech? Are you excited for the possibly of a similar upgrade with the upcoming Chuck Taylor II launch?
