"KD" is one of my favorite players despite the fact that he now plays for a rival team to my beloved Boston Celtics: the Brooklyn Nets.

When Kobe started rocking lows in 2008 with the Kobe IV's, he was the first and only one doing. … Continue reading Sneaker Sunday: Nike Kobe XI Elite Low “Brave Blue”
Released in 2014, these were a special release by Nike in collaboration with a Louisiana skate shop, Rukus. The theme of the shoe is "crawfish" and everything on the shoe stays true to that theme.
