Headlined by several adidas models and a Kobe Bryant signature, this week’s slate of selections is very intriguing, to say the least.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gregory Williams<\/h2>\n

Nike Air Max 2015<\/span><\/p>\n

“Still a little sour about missing out on the Reflective Silver colorway, I think these just might me a plausible replacement and welcomed addition to my cozy boy rotation.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ian Stonebrook<\/h2>\n

NikeLab Kobe 10 Elite Low HTM<\/span><\/p>\n

“These are just awesome and gotta give props on a job well done. To keep it real, I’m not gonna go even close to the lengths to get these based on effort and certainly not what resale price will be. Nevertheless, these are great and will look awesome on the court, with shorts or with denim. Salute to who ever scored and nice job HTM team.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sid Ashford<\/h2>\n

Air Jordan 11Lab 4 “Black Patent”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have to admit, as of today I don’t own any of the “Lab” series Jordans. The “Black Patent” 11Lab 4 is a serious candidate to become my first pair. Not only is the Jordan 4 one of my favorite silhouettes, I love almost anything with an all-black makeup.”
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Pierce Simpson<\/h2>\n

JBF Customs\u2018 Nike Air Force 1 High \u201cQueen of Gator\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’d feel like Big Daddy Kane or Slick Rick in these joints. JBF Customs just wins again.”
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeffrey Jason<\/h2>\n

adidas Stan Smith Core Black\/Running White<\/span><\/p>\n

“The adidas Stan Smith has been in my weekly rotation for just about a year now. Seeing as though I live in Southern California, I have the luxury of being able to rock the Stan Smith year-round. This “Core” version of the Stan Smith is right up my alley as it features my favorite colorway, a textured upper, and a bright white outsole.”
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Nick DePaula<\/h2>\n

adidas Crazy Light Boost 2015<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m REALLY excited about these. It looks like adidas has improved upon some of the shortcomings of the first Crazy Light Boost by adding a herringbone traction pattern and a fully visible heel Boost unit, and this model also introduces PrimeKnit to basketball. I can’t wait to get a pair to play in, as many people at the brand have been saying it’s their best performing shoe in years.”
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Darren Griffin<\/h2>\n

Nike Air Huarache “Hot Lava”<\/span><\/p>\n

“”Huarache, Huarache, Hot Lava’s on me like I’m in Hawaii” OH IT’S LIT!!!”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
