Sick Kicks: Under Armour Unveils New Bball Shoe

Under Armour is really trying to mash for some rations and go head-to-head with Nike with the release of it’s maiden basketball shoe collection, set to hit stores in November. While the likelihood of Under Armour taking the basketball shoe game over is slim, the company still believes they can be competitive.

Bucks guard Brandon Jennings will serve as the face of the new basketball shoe line, rocking the Micro G Black Ice, which retail for between $80 to $110 in stores. If Asics  can do it, then anyone can. Via Baltimore Sun

The 2010 Nike Slam Dunk Contest Was Sick!

Any time you get to see the Legend that is James White participating in a dunk contest, you have to call it a win. There are a few other dudes in her too that aren’t too shabby their damn selves, in yet another display of a dunk contest that is sicker than what the NBA is currently offering.

WTF? New Kobe & LeBron Puppet Commercial

Can someone explain what the hell is going on in this commercial? I guess it’s cool that KRS One and Lupe Fiasco decided to lend their voices to the MVP Puppets series, but the flows are pretty wack to say the least. Definitely not rolling with this one.

Thunder Rock Kevin Durant’s New Shoe

In honor of Nike releasing Kevin Durant’s newest shoe, appropriately named the KDII Creamsicles, nearly the entire Oklahoma City Thunder squad decided to rock them during their loss to the Mavericks Wednesday. The shoe was bad luck for Durant though, as he had his worst game of the season, only dropping 12 points in the nationally televised game. To say these things are nasty would be an understatement, but regardless, they definitely are still kind of flossy. The Creamsicles look like some kicks that Marty McFly would definitely be rolling with.

Sick Kicks: Nike 25th Anniversary Crispy White J’s

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the G.O.A.T. (besides LeBron) taking the shoe game to a whole new level, Nike has come out with crunchy white versions of every pair of Jordan’s to date. Sad part is they won’t be releasing nare nadda pair to the general public, which means if you want some of these you have to be a real life ballertician, or have a connect sicker than Marlo.

Sick Kicks: Nike Zoom Kobe IV’s MVP Edition

Must be nice. Being the reigning Finals MVP and a 4-time NBA Champion does have it’s benefits. Even though Kobe doesn’t have the honor of getting kicks as sick as any pair of J’s ever created, Nike did release an uber limited edition on the Zoom Kobe IV’s, paying homage to Bryant’s former number 8. So pretty much only Kobe and some other rich squares will get there hands on these bad boys. These joints look like they were designed by Fukijama. Via Sneaker News

Another Reason Why Jordan Is The G.O.A.T.

When is the last time that you’ve seen 2 beezies, even ones with questionable grissues like these ladies, making out in a pair of LeBron’s or Kobe’s? What we have here is the Air Jordan XI “Space Jam Girls” poster, which is retailing for damn near $20 bucks. That is way too much cheese, and we are only willing to pay about a dollar for each point that each one of these girls gets on our scale. So by our estimates, we’re willing to pay about $11.86, including tax, based on their combined scores. Via Osneaker

We’re Rolling With The New Jordan Brand Commercial

This is the latest Jordan Brand commercial titled “Break To Build,” features some of his Airness’ most recognizable employees, including Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Derek Jeter. The concept is pretty basic, and has been done numerous times before, but we still give this thing a solid 9.

Even though this new commercial is pretty sick, it still doesn’t top the one we cut in our leisure time for shits and giggles. Check it out after the jump…
