“The Converse Weapon… The #1 Weapon in the NBA.” Commercials (and hip-hop) have come a long way… Haha. If NIKE remade this commercial (since they now own Converse), who do you think would replace Magic, Isiah, McHale, Aguirre, King and Bird?
Check out this new promo of Kobe jumping over a moving Aston Martin in the soon-to-be-released Nike Hyperdunk, touted as the lightest and strongest basketball shoe ever.
The Hyperdunk weighs in at just 13.0 ounces and features two new Nike technologies — Flywire, extremely lightweight and strong footwear construction, and Lunarlite, an extremely lightweight foam cushioning system.
To honor the performances of Hawaii’s top teams (Kaimuki, Punahou, Iolani) in recent years, Nike has released the 25th anniversary version of the Air Force One hightop in 3 school-inspired color combinations. These streamlined Nikes are wrapped in patent leather and feature Nike’s patented Zoom Air, a “lightweight super-responsive performance cushioning system that brings the foot closer to the ground for optimum feel and aggressive maneuverability.”

If you were playing ball in the late ’80s the 3rd Edition of Nike’s Air Jordan line was either on your feet or on your wishlist. This classic sneaker, released in 1988, was the first to sport the iconic Jumpman logo as well as the visible air pocket in the heel. The leather was tumbled to give the shoe a luxury look and trimmed with gray elephant print on the toe and heel.
Originally, the shoe came out in two colorways, white and black. Since first being retroed in 1994, the Jordan III has been released in several other color combinations including a cool grey “lifestyle” version and a “flipped” model where the elephant print trim is switched out with the leather in the main area.
On March 24th, the “Fire Red” version will be released in white with red accents and a blacked-out elephant print trim on the toe and heel.
