When Nike puts its mind to commemorating a certain person and/or event, it usually goes all out and does it right. Take the pair of London and Paris Nike Hyperize’s as an example. They released in the New York House of Hoops in celebration of House of Hoops expanding to both overseas cities. This weekend, yet another House of Hoops location opens up- this time in Houston. In celebration of this opening, the Nike Hyperize Houston Pack made up of two colorways pictured here will go on sale this Saturday at the grand opening’s location: Northline Mall in Houston, Texas. How do you sneakerheads feel this Hyperize pack mathes up with previous ones celebrating a similar event in sneaker history?

It was a couple months back when we saw a first look at the Nike Zoom Kobe V as a sample. This time, we’ve discovered a preview of the Nike Zoom Kobe V in its final form. The Nike Zoom Kobe V (5) comes in five different colorways, but still carries on the lowtop form that Kobe loves on the Nike Zoom Kobe IV. The model still carries the Black Mamba’s signature at the heel, with his Nike logo at the tongue. The toe features a faux snakeskin design and a diamond pattern at the heel to give the shoe some style. The Zoom sole should make this, along with the hidden Flywire, a great choice for the court. Stay tuned for a strong wave of releases for Kobe’s latest sig shoe.

Even though the Nike Air Max LeBron VII is the talk of the town for LBJ, Nike still hasn’t forgotten the success met by the sixth installment of LeBron’s signature line. The Nike Zoom LeBron VI Low comes in a classic black/white-varsity red colorway, with a white leather and black suede upper, which contrasts nicely with the white leather swoosh. The midsole is what makes the shoe stand out, as it is made of carbon fiber material to make the looks of the shoe live up to its performance. The midsole sits on a varsity red outsole to match the Lion symbol at the back ankle tab. Be sure to get your pair of these bad boys at your local House of Hoops today.

Nike recently paid homage to a couple of overseas balling organizations with the London and Paris Hyperize’s. Now they’ve turned their attention to a fellow NBA champion teammate of Kobe’s. The Nike Hyperize has been done up especially for Pau Gasol, and this PE shoe will become available at House of Hoops locations come November. With a predominantly white and LA Lakers purple upper, gold accents can be found on the shoe laces, Nike swoosh, and near the midsole. How many of you ballers out there would prefer this pair of Hyperize’s inspired by the LA Lakers color than any Kobe IV’s?

We last saw Seattle Storm superstar Sue Bird with her own Livestrong x Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier 3’s on her feet. This time, she has her own player exclusive of the Livestrong x Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4). This Nike ZK4 features the same design as the LS3, with a full yellow patent leather upper and black accents on the printed Flywire swoosh, Livestrong insignia on the side, Kobe tongue tag, and outsole. This pair of Kobe’s definitely makes our jaws drop, as it can’t help but stand out anywhere. Too bad these won’t see the light of retail day, as the lucky ones like Sue Bird are the only ones who will get their hands on them as far as we know.
