How Kyrie Irving Feels About Nike Not Making Signature All-Star This Year
Foot Locker’s new Times Square store opens this week and while it isn’t their biggest store in New York City, it’s certainly the brightest. There aren’t many brighter NBA stars than Kyrie Irving, so calling on him to prepare for the grand opening makes perfect sense. With his face, sneakers, and apparel spread out throughout both stories of the 17,000 square-foot space, it was only right that he gave us an early tour of what customers can expect in the future.

Why the EQT Is Going to Be the Adidas Sneaker of 2017
2016 was undoubtedly a massive win for Adidas. From the continued hype about Yeezy Boosts to the massive success that nobody saw coming with the NMD, momentum is on the side of the Three Stripes this year. So, how does Adidas plan to top last year’s success? Aside from what looks to be a healthy dose of more of the same, Adidas is also releasing another “new” sneaker for everyone to lose their mind over. Calling any EQT “new” is sure to get collectors from the 1990s in their feelings, but despit
The Best Sneakers of 2016
2016 may be, to some people, the worst year in collective memory, but when it comes to sneakers, the past 12 months were pretty solid.

Kanye West's Adidas Yeezys became available to more people, Nike brought back the Air Force 1 in a meaningful way, Pharrell Williams had an amazing and original Adidas
The Best Sneaker Collaborations of 2016
2016 was one of the strangest years in modern memory, and the same can be said about sneaker collaborations over the past 12 months. What made 2016 different wasn't that anything crazy or newsworthy happened in the world of kicks, but rather the complete opposite: It was an unusually lukewarm year for collaborative footwear.
Still, there were a few notable moments that stood out above the rest, and they gave hope for the future of such sneaker projects. Typically, these collaborations comprise

Pusha T and Adidas Made a Sneaker That's as Honest as His Music
Pusha T grew up a long way from Miami, but he has a lot in common with the city. Pusha T, who calls himself the "last cocaine superhero," has 15 years worth of music under his belt that illustrates his history on the streets. Just like him, Miami has often been associated with a similar trade, so the old Marine Stadium was more than a fitting location for G.O.O.D. Music's President to celebrate the release of his third Adidas sneaker.
Dwyane Wade's Putting Chicago on His Back With His New Sneakers
“That’s the way you do it, that’s a homecoming right there. I like that one,” Dwyane Wade said as he walked to the locker room at the United Center following his Chicago Bulls debut. Despite just being one game into the season—and a number of question marks surrounding the new-look Bulls—Wade has had a lot to celebrate, and it started even before his explosive 22 point night.
