The LeBron XI has been spotted in the wild, we’ve been frustratingly teased with the Kobe 9, and the KD VI is available for your customizing pleasure. While the Kobe 8, LeBron X and KD V have been around for a while, in terms of the sneaker lifespan, we figure it couldn’t hurt to throw another colorway in the mix before the new cycle. Would you like to see another Kobe 8 be released? Check out our mockups of one last colorway of some popular models of the past season, and vote on which one should be considered by their respective brands.<\/p>\n
Despite stringing together back-to-back wins that resulted in back-to-back titles for LeBron James, the Miami Heat showed a bit of weakness, implying that their reign as the NBA’s Big Three may be coming to an end. With the stars seeming to align back in Cleveland, and LeBron having the option to opt out of his contract at the end of the 2013-14 season, it might be destiny that the King return to his throne in the Forest City.<\/p>\n

We’ve seen the teaser images of the upcoming iteration of the Kobe signature line, and while we most certainly expect to see Bryant return in elite fashion, the apparent implosion of the Lakers roster signifies that Kobe’s best years are behind him.

Ken Griffey Jr.’s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 is an illustrious one, including 630 home runs, 13 All-Star game appearances, 10 Golden Glove awards, and one mildly successful presidential campaign. Complete with buttons, posters, shirts and TV commercials, Griffey’s candidacy had all the makings of a legitimate bid at the presidency. The rest of the story is a murky cloud of confusion, but a good bit of internet sleuthing could unearth exactly how it all went down. Nevertheless, a colorway to commemorate this unprecedented feat (no pun intended) would be well-received given the obscurity.<\/p>\n

When you think of Shaq and his filmography, a certain cringe-worthy genie movie comes to mind. True basketball and Shaquille O’Neal enthusiasts know it started before that with the film “Blue Chips,” where Shaq graced the theatrical release poster as Neon Boudeaux rocking a pair of Shaq Attaqs. Should Reebok venture away from the original colorways of the Shaq Attaq?<\/p>\n

Donning the number 35 on a nightly basis, Kevin Durant quietly, and at the same time poignantly, pays tribute to his late mentor and coach, Charles Craig. On the simple silhouette, an all-white makeup is most fitting.

Although initially brought in as Ronde Barber’s counterpart, Darrelle Revis has become the former’s replacement he made an announcement to retire from the NFL. Citing Barber as a player he looked up to as prep, it wouldn’t hurt to dedicate a colorway of his Zoom Revis to the most beloved Buc of all-time.<\/p>\n
