He's back, at least as Uncle Drew, to get buckets and teach young-bloods. Miami sets the scene for a shootout against Walt (aka Ray Allen). The two of them duel in a classic game of HORSE making this fourth installment worth the watch. Peep the sweet Kyrie 1 sneakers, they're limited to 150 pairs. I'm loving the gum rubber soles, super clean. Basketball never stops.

Uncle Drew Chapter 3

Kyrie Irving is back with a few old friends. Lights and Betty Lou are looking good on the court. The three of them remind us never to judge a book by its cover. We'll see if you can spot who they really are. Betty is quite arguably the best female hooper on the planet. Plus she brought the 612 a title, which goes a long way for me personally. In case you haven't heard, Uncle Drew has a new running-mate in Cleveland — LeBron. If the Cavs are able to bring in Kevin Love (aka Wes) the Eastern Conference is theirs to lose. The FIBA World Cup of basketball begins August 30th and runs through September 14th. Spain is the host nation and will most likely be the toughest competition as the Americans pursue gold. Go USA.

Who's the Baddest?

KD7 - "Global Game" - 08.02.14

Kevin Durant was this season's NBA MVP. He's led the Association in scoring four times, won an Olympic gold medal, and was Rookie of the Year. Today marked the launch of his latest signature sneaker, the KD7. Initially there will be five colorways released. The first to drop will be the USA-inspired color scheme—you can score them tomorrow. The other names thus far are 35K Degrees (July 12), Global Games (pictured above), Calm Before the Storm (August 16), and Easy Money (September 6). If the KD6 is any indication, there will be a plethora of other design options released throughout the calendar year. Nike has always been at the forefront of developing high-end athletic apparel technologies. They also know how to run an ad campaign. Accompanying the kicks is a bad-ass new commercial featuring cameos from George Gervin, Chris Mullin, Charles Oakley, and comedian/activist Dick Gregory. I especially dig the commercial's reference that bad is good. The NBA may have just wrapped up, but basketball never stops. I'm bound to lace up a pair of these sneaks. Thanks for keeping it fresh, KD and Nike.
