While Paris was recently host to the Quai 54 International Streetball Tournament, it would be a shame to let the Frenchies have all the fun. Nike brought the ballin’ back to the USA this Monday, July 11th with the Nike Band of Ballers event in New York City. This three-on-three tournament pitted celebrity teams against each other, with the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Jim Jones, Cory Gunz, and many others showing up to flex their skills on the hardwood. Nike went the extra mile in making this a cultural event, with DJ D-Nice spinning records and streetball historian and known sneakerhead Bobbito Garcia doing the commentary. MTV2 was there capturing all the hooping that went down, and the winner of this epic tournament will be revealed on-air in a few short weeks. Hit the jump to get a full look at the festivities from the recent Nike Band of Ballers event.
When Sneaker News posts videos, we often include a screenshot with a quote that reflects nike free v3 3.0 some exemplary selection or theme, but the closest we could get for this latest Nike collaboration would be, “GONG!” That’s one of the key sounds you hear in a backing track that could have just as easily been played during a swordmaking scene from a classic kung-fu flick. It serves as a dramatic backdrop to a video as stark as the concept: a look into the process by which the Tenue de Nimes x Nike Chuck Taylor All cheap nike free run 2 australia Star transitions from an all-white affair into the first hand-dyed indigo edition of the legendary canvas kicks.

Perhaps feeling the sting of having been left out of the Entourage x Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Lights Out’ collaboration, Undefeated have been on a tear of late. We’ve seen a couple of collaborations with Puma already this year with an in-house accessories line popping up just days before tag-team projects with Nike and adidas were revealed. The former of those actually first showed up in May, but all we could really glean from that was the basic colorway, materials choices and fitting nickname. And while the UNDFTD x Nike ‘Ballistic Pack’ has retained its name, the nylon Star Player High for which they’re named is now navy instead of black. Joining the Star Players is a pair of Academy Lows and a cheap nike for sale matching ALICE backpack, all of which will be at the UNDFTD e-store and chapter locations on Friday, July 15th.
