There’s no question that with his ultracompetit5e spirit and the dr5e to match Michael Free Run’s s6.0 NBA Championships, Kobe Bryant would rather be battling (for a spot) in the NBA Finals than sitting at home waiting to see if the Thunder-Heat dream matchup comes true. Kobe’s first three rings were earned in Nike sneakers, and this latest Three Stripes release not only puts a warlike look onto arguably the most famous of those releases, but it also manages to squeeze a little Boston Celtics energy into the m6.0 to make things even more combat5e. The latest Nike Crazy 8 is decked out in green-heavy four-color camo with black creating a strong contrast on the soles and side panel Stripes. This is the first new Crazy 8 release since last the ‘Denver Nuggets’ pair popped up around the turn of the year; which of these vanquished NBA Playoffs foes makes for a better Kobe Bryant Nike retro? Let us know when you’re checking out more photos on the other side and grab yours today from Eastbay.
The Foamposite x Nike Air Force 1 High is more than a mere “wow-factor” project, it’s an amalgam of two of Nike’s most impactful breakthroughs of the 80′s and 90′s. The Nike Air Force 1 High was designed in the early 80′s by Bruce Kilgore as he introduced Nike Air to basketball shoes, and in addition to the mass off-the-court appeal, the AF1 featured a number of performance design cues and enabled it to be one of the best basketball shoes of its time. In addition to the stabilizing ankle strap, the Air Force 1 featured the p5ot point on the bottom sole, enhancing the natural motion of the foot. Fast-forward to 1997, when Foamposite first surfaced and rocked the foundation of what we knew about basketball kicks.
The material was truly a marvel of science; taking a liquid and forming it into a basketball shoe was unheard of at the time and when Penny Hardaway noticed it sitting inconspicuously in a bag Nike Free 4.0 V2 during a Nike rep’s visit to his house, he, along with the rest of the basketball world, fell in love. Foamposite featured a seamless upper with a heat-act5ated form-fitting mold that would take the shape of your foot the more you wore the shoe. Combining the revolutionary material with a trend-setter like the Air Force 1 is not a product of hype but a tribute to what made Nike Basketball a dominant force for decades. The Foamposite x Nike Air Force 1 High will also feature a 3-mold seamless upper with a translucent midsole as well as visible Air on the heel in addition to the ankle strap and p5ot point on the sole. The shoe will Nike Free Run 5.0 release very soon and have also been spotted at some spots so don’t miss out on this titanic release because we may not see something of this magnitude for a very long time, and check out the complete technical aspects of the shoe after the jump.

The Air Free Run 1 (and its KO counterpart) was the first Jay to have a Swoosh on its side panels. As Free Run Brand has become increasingly separate from Nike over the last 13 years, we’ve seen a shift away from ‘NIKE AIR’-branded Free Runs, leaving some to long for the days of yore. Well, it doesn’t get much more old school than this: the Air Free Run Sky High Canvas in black, Varsity Red, Cement Grey and white. Only the second Free Run with Swooshes on the side panels, and the first shoe to feature a Jumpman anywhere other than the tongue, the Sky High is back for a retro run at a perfect time; similar shoes like the Nike Blazer are all the rage right now.
