Nike SB Kobe x Koston 1 - Staples Center release May 21st

Being a Lakers fan living in the midwest sucks ass. Being a Nike fan living in Chicago where the current Bulls superstar is with Adidas suck balls. 


Nike SB is coming out with a collaboration with Nike Basketball to produce TWENTY FOUR, thats right, 24 pairs of the Kobe VI X Koston 1 hybrid shoe. And of course since it's anything Kobe, it's ONLY going to be released in limited quantity at the Nike Vault at Staples Center on May 21st.


FUNNY how Koston gets a Lakers colorway Kobe VI while the actual Kobe VI shoe never got a Lakers colorway released this year. Nike Basketball at its finest!

Super Mario Bros. x Converse Chuck Taylor All Star

One of the biggest icon in the home video game system/console would be the Super Mario Bros from Nintendo. Growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, there is non like it. Especially in Asia. Where the console and the game originated. And I guess it is only fitting that Converse finally release a collaborative effort with Nintendo to bring you the  Super Mario Bros. x Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars that is to be released in Japan this summer. The collaboration comes complete with a Super Mario looking converse box that can bring a smile to all Mario aficionado. via Kenlu

adidas Originals MEGA Softcell RL - stepping up their running offering

The new adidas Originals MEGA Softcell RL is another entry by adidas into their subpar running offering. Everyone knows of their dominance in Soccer, and their recent success in basketball, thanks for local boy D Rose of the CHI-Town Bulls. But as far as running shoes, adidas is finally making a huge push by combining their trademark styles with functionality, something that I believe will be very beneficial to the brand. This colorway of the adidas Originals MEGA Softcell RL is definitely going to catch more than a few eyes. Available at select adidas Originals retailers.
