The Nike Kobe 8 continues to prove itself a late bloomer, with a gang of killer colorways still in the works despite Kobe having long since stopped playing for the season. The most straightforward basketball style amongst them is this, the Engineered Mesh utilizing Nike Kobe 8 “Venice Beach”. That unofficial nickname is one presumably referencing the colorful graffiti of that locale, a set that’s done justice by the streaky upper of this sneaker. Get extra angles of the Nike Kobe 8 “Venice Beach” below and then grab them from Social Status this coming weekend.

The adidas Crazyquick was a sneaker very much in the national eye during March Madness time, thanks to finals of that tourney being an all adidas affair. The shoe has seen plenty of NBA usage as well, although not on such a universal level given that sponsorships there are determined on a by-player basis. Offering up more for the laymen is this colorway, a black/purple/teal combination that will be in stores come June 1st. Continue reading for some up close shots at this exciting Crazyquick look from adidas Basketball and give us a heads up in the comments if you’d had a chance to play ball in these yet.

The wait has been a long one, putting quite a distance between the Nike LeBron X “Cork” and whatever will end up as following Nike Sportswear edition of LeBron James’ tenth signature shoe.

The Nike Barkley Posite Max in metallic silver/gamma blue will release on June 1st. The blue speckled set up isn’t one entirely foreign to the Nike Foamposite category, having shown up before on the Nike Total Air Foamposite Max. This is no carbon copy colorway though, separating itself quite a bit from that shoe with the metallic silver that shines across the upper. Continue reading for a gallery of photos on this Nike Barkley Posite Max colorway and watch for them at your local NSW spot, or on Nikestore, on June 1st.
