Following up on the successful launch of ?uestlove’s early 2011 collaboration, Nike Sportswear issued a bunch of additional Dunk High ACs.  Patterned after the VNTG Blazer, the Autoclaved Dunk High switched soles and Swooshes to look more like the original Beaverton court kicks than the ‘Be True’ college basketballer we’ve come to know and love.  It looks like the only other NSW classic that has surpassed the Dunk in terms of enduring relevance and sheer volume of colorways was also...

Purple-based colorway on a Foamposite model with glow-in-the-dark outsoles – seems like the perfect formula for a must-have sneaker to us.

It’s the magical aura of New York City that brings out the extra ‘umph’ from within. Ask any baller and he or she will attest to “bringing it” whenever a pick-up game is about the go down, and with several proving Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 grounds on NYC soil like the Rucker, Dyckman, and West 4th leading up Nike Free Run 3.0 V3 to the true epicenter of hooping history at Madison Square Garden, New York City is the undisputed ‘mecca’ of the game. Michael Jordan seems to agree, as he’s br...

There are plenty of different year-end lists, tournaments and other ways of sorting out the best of the best in the sneaker world, but for their latest SWAG ezine, Champs Sports had some fun with LeBron James ranking a few of his favorite non-Nike items.
