The Hawks did their thing stretching the Celts to seven in the 1st round, but I was more impressed by Josh Childress when I peeped his recent Slam column. Peep what’s over his left shoulder . . . he’s got my Nike AF1 X Kool Bob Love light blue/olive green collabs right there in his collection! That had me amped. ATL has an intense sneaker scene for those who don’t know or have never been down there.

Josh, if you get to read this–good lookin’ for reppin’ my joints!

While at the Frosty Freeze Benefit in April, I peeped this b-boy rocking the illymatic Philippines Pro jersey. Tell me that joint ain’t fire?!!! He had Nike Dunks on to dip the fit perfict. Props my dude. Sorry I don’t remember your name though!

Coming in Fall of ‘08 adidas is set to drop NBA Edition Forums, much like the Three Stripes did with the Superstar and Halfshells over the past few seasons. Don’t have any substantial news regarding pricing or availability, but yo, adi.–can you please do a white/navy blue/copper orange version to match the Denver Nuggets Hardwood Classics Jerseys?

The year was 2000 and trey. I’ll always remember the year fondly, because I really discovered rap. From Illmatic to Slick Rick’s The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, if an album was heralded as a classic, I made attempts to hear it (a task I later found to be impossible). More specifically, I still recall the first time I rocked out to Dr. Dre’s The Chronic. Right from the get go, I was enamored with joints like, Let Me Ride and Snoop Dogg’s constant mention of “187-ing”. Having no idea what the latter term meant, I Googled it, finding that it was a slang term for killing a member of Compton’s least favorite law enforcement group.

German hoops brand k1x has dropped its latest performance gem, the 187, a signature ride for Bronx native Corey Williams. Taking cues from Homicide’s explosive game, the shoe offers the company’s patented W.H.U.I.T.A. cushioning pad, a traction tech outsole, and a thick memory foam ankle collar for support on those herky-jerky moves.

Not sure if you will see these on Snoop’s feet anytime soon, but more info check out the k1x Blog.

K1X is back again with a fresh second installment in their heralded Chiefglider line. With a graffiti laden upper, reinforced lacing slots, and a Lycra based inner lining, the shoe looks butter off the court. On the court, the CG2’s will have you covered like Bruce Bowen—featuring the company’s patented W.H.U.I.T.A. (Way High Up In the Air) spring pad the offering will be comfortable for ankle breakers and rim rattlers alike.

The Chiefglider II also continues on with k1x tradition by being built on their “Prime Footwear Philosophy.” Simply put, shoes that are lower to the ground, and fit extremely well will maximize court feel and lateral support.

Look for the Chiefglider at selected Footlockers this May, or check out the k1x Blog for more informaton!
