Although most of the shoe is made out of Flyknit, the shoe still comes with leather hits noted on the Nike Air branding on the tongue, Wings logo, Swooshes branding on the sides and the entire inner lining of the shoe. A small detail that should not be overlooked is the sizing and production information done in Gold along with a matching 1985 graphic placed on the lining of the shoe. A White midsole and Red outsole complete the classic aesthetics of the shoe. When you get older there s still toys/action figures for us adults, but we tend to to call them collectibles because well, we re not kids anymore. Enterbay is the king when it comes to creating NBA figurines/collectibles and the precise details on all of their pieces are truly amazing.

That singular effort has since evolved into a yearly collection, each celebrating African American heritage and a more inclusive world for all athletes. This year s BHM collection, highlighted by iconic Nike, Jordan and Converse silhouettes, was inspired by an assortment of national African patterns, brought together onto modernized prints in a theme of Afro-futurism in sport. For Jonathan Johnsongriffin, Senior Creative Director for Nike Basketball, the design reflects how athletes today are fully embracing their backgrounds and are becoming catalysts for change in their local communities.  In sport, there s a movement happening where athletes are inviting others to discover the full side of who they are, through finding their voices and improving their communities, he says.  We wanted that movement to inspire this year s design. Beginning Jan.

Beginning January 2017, Nike partnered with two organizations, PeacePlayers International and MENTOR, to expand opportunities for youth and their communities. Two years later, Nike has helped expand their reach across the United States by linking more communities through sport and by fostering more mentor-mentee relationships in the lives of young people. With Nike s help over the last two years, PeacePlayers has established programs in Brooklyn, Detroit, Los Angeles, Chicago and Baltimore, using basketball to bridge divides between young people. In 2018 alone, MENTOR expanded its programs in the southeastern and western U.S. with Nike s support, piloted an initiative in three cities to further Nike employee engagement in mentoring and continues to connect adults to youth mentorship opportunities in their communities through more than 2,000 mentoring programs today across all 50 states.

On April 13th (Mamba Day) Nike will be releasing the entire Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack at the Nike Vault in Los Angeles which is located next to Staples Center. If you are selected as one of the winners you ll have the opportunity to purchase two pairs from the Nike Kobe Black Mamba Pack, but they must be two different models. You can register here if you d like an opportunity at picking up something you may have missed out on. Good luck to everyone. With the upcoming release of the Air Jordan XXX1 Fine Print celebrating MJ s beginnings with Nike and the  Love Of The Game clause on his contract, here s a look at how Jordan s signature has evolved through the years. We just got a hold of the first image of the Nike Kyrie 2 Easter, and judging by the first looks of the shoe, it sure looks like it hit the Easter theme right on the nail.

The shoe is also easily recognized during one of the movies most memorable scenes, the  park bench-life is like a box of chocolates scene. Kobe s greatest performance against the Knicks was the time he scored 61 points and set a then-record for most points scored in a single game at MSG (a current Knick that isn t as popular as Kristaps Porzingis has the record now). He wore the Nike Zoom Kobe 4  Del Sol in that memorable game, so if there s a shoe that isn t the Kobe 10 that we might see today, it s this one. Kobe will treat this like it s just another game and thus wear another Nike Kobe 10 Elite PE (or a low version), but we all know that s nonsense. He knows that magnitude of this moment and he s going to give it his most concerned effort.
