Nick Young’s Case for 2013 Kicks On Court Champion

Published on May 17, 2013 by in Kool Kicks

Before we state Nick Young’s case for 2013 Kicks On Court Champion, refresh your memory with his quote prior to the start of the 2012-2013 NBA season: “I may take a year off from the Kicks On Court game. Instead of switching my shoes every night, I might just really stick to the Kobe 8s this season.” Based on that quote in our Kicks On Court Diaries interview with him, we forecasted a season of consistency instead of a volume of variety in the shoes Nick Young would bring to the court this season. We predicted Nick Young to come back down to Earth with his kicks on court because, after all, most earthlings stick with the same shoe for an entire season. However, Nick Young proved this season that no matter what he says, the one they call Swaggy P

Published on May 13, 2013 by in Kool Kicks

Popular nicknames are usually accepted without many knowing where they stem from. In some instances, sneaker nicknames become synonymous with the collaborator. In this installment of Sneaker Nicknames Explained, we discuss one of the most popular sneaker nicknames, as well as one that may be a bit more obscure. Be sure to let us know which sneaker nicknames you would like to know the story behind next week. Nike Zoom Kobe VI “Draft Day” Kobe Bryant will go down as one of the best basketball players of all time. However, he almost took his talents to a much smaller market than the lights and glamour of Los Angeles. It’s hard to imagine Kobe in anything but a Laker uniform, but he was actually drafted 13th overall by the Charlotte Hornets. That fact is the inspiration behind the nickname and colorway

Babies: Kobe 8 System “Purple Platinum”

Published on May 13, 2013 by in Fashion

Article written by: +Albert Costill Posted on: May 13, 2013 Tweet Even though the 2012-13 NBA Season is done for Kobe, and The Lakers, you can still feel his presence with the recent release of the Nike Kobe 8 System “Purple Platinum”. The Black Mamba rocked these kicks months ago on the court, but they officially dropped at select Nike Basketball retailers on May 11 for $150. The latest colorway from the popular footwear series is exactly what the name implies, because these sneaks are all Purple. Besides the gradient base with that majestic shade of Purple, the Nike Kobe 8 System “Purple Platinum” is detailed by Platinum and Black accents. With the fading of court purple to laser purple from front to back, these look like one of the sickest pair of “Lakers” colorways ever released. Besides the eye-catching

SoJones Kicksology: The Reebok ‘Question’ & ‘Answer’

Published on May 9, 2013 by in Fashion

Article written by: +Albert Costill Posted on: May 8, 2013 Tweet The 1996 NBA draft is commonly considered one of the deepest classes in the league’s history. This draft included All-Stars like Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Stephon Marbury, and Jermaine O’Neal. Yeah. That’s an impressive group of athletes. But, the first overall pick wasn’t any of the players listed about. It was Allen Iverson. When the Philadelphia 76ers took the Georgetown Hoya, there were plenty of questions, like his size and skills. Allen Iverson, who was listed at just six feet tall, became the shortest first overall pick ever in NBA history. And, he was coming to a Philly team that had just finished the previous season at 18-64. How would AI respond? How about being named the 1996 Rookie of the Year? He was also a member
