Part of the equation Jordan Brand Classic 2013 is basketball, and the showcasing of young talent and future superstars. But another part of the equation, one just as crucial, is the goal of bringing together a mini-community of athletes and providing them with a once-in-a-lifetime experience crafted by the Jordan Brand. Leading up to the trio of games on Saturday, the kids bopped around NYC and discovered the heritage of the brand throughout the city, from a sit down event with Spike Lee and Sway out in Brooklyn to a trip to Gleason’s Gym for some boxing with Andre Ward.
Of course yet another aspect of the event is its star studded status, one that was particularly prevalent this year thanks to this year’s New York/Brooklyn locale. Countless athletes, rappers, and the like were spotted courtside (Amar’e Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, Victor Cruz, and Fabolous just to name a few). And then there was the Drake concert immediately following the final game which brought everybody out of their seats at the culmination of the evening. Continue reading to see what the Jordan Brand Classic kids were up to before the games went down, the celebrities that showed up, Drake’s explosive performance, and more in our Jordan Brand Classic 2013 event recap.

You’ve been there: you’ve opened up that lame Christmas present while the gifter was present, forced to feign happiness at the dud. Hakeem Nicks has too, because he’s clearly not that stoked about the fishing hat that Victor Cruz gifted him in for Christmas, but Vic switches it up with a pair of Foot Locker‘s #Approved Nike LeBron Xs instead (clearly Nicks is a fan of the X), matching the already impressive heat that both fellas have on their feet. Click through for the full Foot Locker ad with the Giants Wide Receiver duo and let us know if you approve of Hakeem’s reception, and hit up Foot Locker for more #Approved gear for the holiday!

New York Giants Wide Receiver Victor Cruz went from being a walk-on to the practice squad to being a Super Bowl Champion and one of a very select group of Nike athletes to represent the Nike x NFL partnership. Cruz has also gained some incredible notoriety in sneaker circles as he’s been spotted with an impressive rotation of sneakers in the name of Foams, Yeezys, Jordans, LeBrons, and more. He recently got a hook-up from fellow NJ-native Jason Negron aka Sole Swap, who presented him with a duet of Zoom Rookie customs done in NY Giants colorways and other details like Cruz’s jersey number on the heel and the Sole Swap logo on the tongue by Rebel Aire. Peep the photos of the customs as well as Victor Cruz autographing the shoes at Sneaker Room and let us know what you think about the customs.
