As I was leaving the house on Tuesday, the FedEx guy stopped by the house, dropping off a slender but colossus-sized rectangular box. Inside it was the a colossal set of Nike Basketball promo materials geared towards the NBA’s postseason push and the “EPIC performances that build heroes and cast legacies,” depicting Pierce, Durant, LeBron & Kobe doing battle in their respective sneaker models. Referring back to the earlier post on packaging’s importance, the mammoth booklet’s impressive – coming concealed in its own, equally large sleeve – Read the rest of this entry »

Sneaker Obsession:

“The Joker-inspired colorway of Kobe Bryant’s sixth signature sneaker with Nike Basketball is slated to hit retailers on April 9th, 2011, according to NikeVault, Nike’s flagship location based inside the Los Angeles Staples Center. Read the rest of this entry »

Just in time for NBA All-Star weekend 2K11, the battle between the forces of good and evil duke it out on the unlikeliest of stages: the basketball court. If the inhabitants of Middle Earth thought they went to hell and back over just one ring, then they’ve never experienced the power of the NBA championship ring. Its current holder, The Black Mamba, has a price on his feet and “The Boss” will stop at nothing until he obtains the sacred pair of Nike Zoom Kobe VI’s for his collection.

The Nike Zoom Kobe VI East LA’s won out in the sneaker version of The Bachelor, after I initially swooned over the 3Ds when pics released. Seeing the East LA’s at the “Mamba” event won me over. Sure, they look like Smurf jizz but the Drenched Blue is deep and damn near undeniable. Read the rest of this entry »

Over the weekend, I spent time in Los Angeles for Nike Basketball’s All-Star Pre-Heat bash, which consisted of seeing the trailer for Kobe’s The Black Mamba movie and taking in the Lakers-Celtics matchup at Staples Center. And of course, we were allowed to view upcoming Nike releases centered around the 2011 NBA All-Star game, dubbed The Neighborhood Collection, Read the rest of this entry »

The Kobe VI’s receive a 3D enhancement to an almost staggering effect previously unseen. MarqueeSole has the first photos and the sneakers are awesome. Using a base gray, a print layer covers the shoes’ signature scale print, one that creates a blurred effect similar to watching a 3D film sans the special glasses. Each shoe has alternating red and teal blue accents mismatched on each shoe, translucent soles, Kobe’s logo across the tongue and a pair of 3D shades on the back of the tongue.

On certain days, sneakerheads tune in to watch NBA games, even though barely care about the sport and aren’t really rooting for one particular team over the other. The draw is to check the kicks on court. Opening day and All-Star Game weekend are the naturals but Christmas Day has been added to the list over recent years, mainly due to the footwear battles of Kobe and LeBron and the brilliant marketing push behind them. When they take the court this year, Kobe, LeBron James and the young guy Kevin Durant will all be wearing special mockups of their respective signature models: the Kobe Zoom VI (“Green Means Go”), the LeBron 8 V.2 (“Run On Red”) and the Zoom KDIII (“No Yield For Yellow”).
