http://www.kicksexpress.com/

In college basketball, we have seen many great players and teams over the years such as Michigan’s “Fab 5″. However, young basketball fans may not remember the great 1982-84 University of Houston team dubbed the “Phi Slamma Jamma”. Players on that team included Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. With that said, Nike plans on instilling this great team in your head by releasing a Nike Big Nike inspired by the team.
The shoe itself features many details inspired by the great University of Houston team. For example, head coach Guy V. Lewis always wore plaid-designed coats, therefore, the shoe contains a red/black plaid design on the side panels and heel area. The colorway is made up of a red base with white accents on the toe box, ankle area, shoelaces and midsole. Obviously, this represents University of Houston’s school colors. Other details include pictures of a basketball goal, the Phi Slamma Jamma fraternity sign and a silhouette of a player.

Converse Weapon ‘86 Returns

http://www.kicksexpress.com
The return of a heated Los Angeles/Boston rivalry between the Lakers and Celtics welcomes too the return of the shoe that was at the center of some of the fiercest battles. The Converse Weapon was the shoe worn by commanders of their squads and Hall of Famers Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in the epic 1986 NBA Finals. Though many draw a near synonym between the shoes and the two former players mentioned, it should not be forgotten that the Converse Weapon was worn by other NBA greats that include Isiah Thomas, Bernard King, Mark Aguirre, Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish, Bill Laimbeer, as well as a young Karl Malone.
Though the Converse Weapon ‘86 may be obsolete as a technical basketball shoe by today’s standards, at the time of its release, the Weapon featured some of the best design for stability that the market had to offer. The shoes feature the Y Bar system which extends the exterior of the upper around the ankle locking the heel in place and minimizing slipping on the foot bed.
Converse, a brand that just celebrated 100 years of continued success, will reintroduce the Weapon this month in timeless colors made famous on the feet of Magic and Bird. Celebrating the history of the shoes the shoes feature a 100% original color blocking and a repeating 1986 scoreboard pattern tieing back to the year the Weapon first hit the battle field.
