Lebron CTK 3/28 at House of Hoops
The Zoom Lebron VI “Christ the King” is going to be at House of Hoops this coming Saturday 3/28. Not a biblicial reference, the shoe is actually calling out Christ the King High School in Queens, New York, known for their top-tier basketball team (similar to Kobe’s Rice High School relationship) There’s been some confusion over shifts in release date, but now it’s confirmed to be there on Saturday. This is a very limited run so get there early. Store shots below with more angles after the jump. Good luck coppin yours.
Air Force 2 Wii at House of Hoops
Playstation isn’t the only gaming system collaborating with Nike these days. Wii has teamed up with Nike to create an Air Max 95, Blazer Hi, and now an Air Force 2 releasing this week at all 3 House of Hoops. There’s no hard date so check with the store, but pairs will be in the next few days.
The Air Force 2 is getting more attention in 2009, with the Chicago AF2 from the “For the Love of the City” pack (released in February), and now this Wii edition. More shots after the jump.
Kobe Unveils Rice Zoom Kobe 4
On Super Bowl Sunday a few hours before kick-off Kobe made a stop at Foot Locker on 34th St. in NYC to talk about his Zoom Kobe 4 and unveil a new special make-up for Rice High School. Nike and Kobe have a strong relationship with the school, and previously released a Rice Hyperdunk. Rice High School is getting these shoes just in time to wear them at the upcoming New York City Championships. Like the Hyperdunk, this special edition Zoom Kobe 4 should be available at House of Hoops at a later date. Shots of Kobe at the store and Rice players admiring their new kicks are below. These are the wht/ylw/grn and not the blk/grn/ylw shots that have been circling around.
Air Force 1 All-Star at House of Hoops
The All-Star Pack hits House of Hoops on 2/7, and besides the East/West foamposite, huarache and hyperdunk which have been getting a lot of ink, there will also be an Air Force 1. This Air Force 1 is not a blue/red east/west release, instead sporting colors to match with the Arizona themed 2009 NBA All-Star logo. The body is made of dimpled basketball leather, and the orange/purple/yellow color combo jumps at you. This is super limited so good luck. It is also limited to only the NYC and LA House of Hoops unlike the other All-Star releases.
