Kanye West Louis Vuitton Sneaker

January 23, 2009

I’d been avoiding  posting this for a couple of days, as our non-Nike NikeBlog coverage typically only extends to the major sports (and boxing) and the dominant firms in the athletic footwear industry, but I suppose sometime Nike collaborator Kanye West creating another shoe qualifies as NB news, even if it’s for a heavyweight of [...]

Nike SB Blazer Premium Optical Illusion

January 23, 2009

While Nike SB and Nike 6.0 have catered exclusively to boarders in the past, SB has been doing a great job lately of appealing to more than just that niche demographic. After a strong January line, they have kept that going with the Optical Illusion Blazer, a Nike SB Premium Blazer and one of the [...]

Pacquiao-Hatton back on?

January 22, 2009

A day after Ricky Hatton’s team told Golden Boy Promotions to find another fight, PhilBoxing.com is reporting that the fight is back, Manny Pacquiao having agreed to a $12 million guarantee and a 52-48 revenue split in his favor.

Nike Air Max 90 White/Grey/Ivory/Pink

January 22, 2009

There’s just nothing worse than seeing some rad shoes that are really difficult to get your hands on. These Air Max 90s are super-clean, but unfortunately exclusive to Europe. The shoe has a lightly textured ivory fabric across much of the upper, along with a pink air unit and pink patterned sole. Like I said, [...]

Nike Foamposite Lite PE’s available at HoH

January 22, 2009

Coming on the heels of the Nike Foamposite “Eggplant” release announcement, the Nike Foamposite Lite PE’s for David West, Caron Butler and Amare Stoudemire have become available at all three House of Hoops locations.

January 21, 2009

The NBA All-Star uniforms for the game February 15th were unveiled Monday, and we’re seeing some pretty significant design changes coming from official NBA uniform supplier Adidas.

January 21, 2009

The superfight between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton tentatively scheduled for May 2nd is likely off. Despite coming to a verbal agreement on location, near 50/50 split, and even shared promotional rights, it is appearing more and more as if the fight will not occur. Allegedly the Hatton camp is waiting for a signed contract [...]

Nike Air Magma Mowabb

January 21, 2009

Wow. Here we have the Nike Air Magma Mowabb, a new selection from the Nike ACG line. It’s … brown. I guess it’s a hybrid between the classic Nike Air Mowabb ACG and the Nike Air Magma, which recently got a retro updated in the form of the Nike Air Magma Riptide. Or maybe it’s [...]
