The Trefoil team brought out the big guns for this one. ‘Equipment Green’ is possibly the nicest colour to bless an EQT, and the blessing is carried over to this EQT Racing 93. Hits of the colourway show up on the branding and rear of the midsole, and also on the tongue. The rest of the shoe, however, plays out in crisp white.

Nike Basketball was arguably at its best in the mid to late 90’s. That period set the course for everything we see today in terms of new construction and popular retro releases. Thus, Nike continues to lean on this era with great bring backs like this Charles Barkley favorite.

That’s right, the Nike Air CB34 Godzilla is set to retro in 2016. The OG colorway of the shoe is slated to re-release later this year according to BaltSneakerShow.

This gem from 1995 is among the best produced by Nike for Sir Charles. What’s more, the story and marketing campaign behind the release remains one the best at blending genres and captivating audiences with vivid and imaginative commercials/ads.

Release details for the Nike Air CB34 Godzilla aren’t yet available.

With the NBA playoffs just a few weeks away, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors have their sights set on regular season history and postseason dominance. Steph, in all likelihood, will compete for his place in the record books with his upcoming playoff shoe – the Under Armour Curry 2.5.

Enhanced with an asymmetrical lacing system and layered base, UA branding finds placement at the heel while Curry’s logo marks the bottom of the tongue and below the heel collar. The midsole and outer are among the two items that remain comparable to the Under Armor Curry Two.

No release details for these Under Armour Curry 2.5 colorways is available.

A new feature has popped on Nike‘s news site that every Zoom Air zealot will love, and every Zoom novice should read. The piece has Nike getting all nostalgic about the origins of Zoom Air, and looks way back to 1995. Nike begins with the shoe that started it all, the Nike Air Zoom LWP, a shoe which was never actually a ‘Zoom Air’ shoe at all. Originally coined the Nike Tensile Air – as was written on the underfoot – the shoe was named for the tensile fabric that was positioned for forward propulsion. But, being closely linked with a series of Light Weight Performance designs, the shoe was nicknamed the ‘Zoom Air’, and nothing was the same.

The piece touches on all the notable notches in Nike’s Zoom belt, including the story behind the crazy sought-after Nike Zoom Spiridon, and the cult-fave Zoom Air Talaria that’s being re-released at the end of March. Hopefully the piece foreshadows a hype-cycle Nike is building for a full-blown Zoom re-up, and maybe they’ll finally give us the official Spiridon release dates!

Odds are that if you know about the Reebok Alien Stomper, you know it’s affiliation with the 1980’s film, Aliens. As a way to commemorate Alien Day, Fox and Reebok have collaborated on the shoe you see above. On April 26 (Alien Day), Reebok will release the Aliens Stompers, which will be an exact replica of the high-top sneaker that Sigourney Weaver wore in the movie Aliens.

The shoes were initially created by Reebok specifically for the films. They were also made available publicly for a short period of time after the film released in theaters. 30 years later, the shoes are back. Not only will the high-tops be making a comeback, you will also be able to pick up the mid-tops worn by Bishop. No retail price has been given to the shoe, but expect to see them release on April 26.

The Adidas Originals SL Rise is the latest silhouette to be treated with the brand’s popular XENO technology, which is essentially inspired by Xenopeltis snake found in Southeast Asia and recognized for its highly iridescent scales.

Essentially sporting a predominantly black upper with scaly textures throughout, the low-top retains its stealthy profile in original lighting, but when exposed to flash, the defining theme is scattered across its entirety in varied tones ranging from purple, neon, green and blue.

All resting atop a tonal black rubber sole unit, the sneaker is rounded out by the label’s iconic three stripe motif gracing its side panels. Other notable details include more branding on the tongue label and heel tab via its trefoil logo which are shaded in contrasting white.

Available at select Adidas retailers now for $120.

Kevin Durant’s signature line continues as a leader in innovation and performance advancement. The Nike KD 8 Elite carries the torch into the new year, with its high arching extended ankle support and streamlined base construction.

Utilizing both Wolf Grey and Cool Grey hues, the Nike KD 8 Elite “Grey” helps bolster the shoe’s already stellar sartorial component. Sleekness skates across the budding model that Durant has been seen wearing in-game (not necessarily this color), while in warm-ups he’s opted for the even higher model that maneuvers all the way up to his knees.

Release Date: May 5, 2016 Price: $200
