Earlier this year the winner of Nike’s 2009 Future Sole Competition got the opportunity to meet Carmelo Anthony while the former Syracuse Orangeman was getting his hair cut. However, if you’re going to be in the New York City area this weekend, your chance might come as well. This Saturday, June 12th, Carmelo Anthony will be stopping by the House of Hoops location in Harlem to meet and greet some of his lucky fans. If you’re in the area and have time, the trip to Manhattan’s upper west side might be well worth it- especially if you get a signature or two.

In March we reported on a new House of Hoops location that opened up in Wayne, New Jersey. This time around, yet another House of Hoops location hits the (seemingly always) sunny state of California. The location for this newest House of Hoops will be Serramonte Center in Daly, CA. The grand opening will take place next Thursday, a week from today, on May 27 particularly from 4-6; which is when smooth, sharpshooting Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors will be on hand as part of the celebration.

PBF Intelligent Design Competition: Create A Nike Sig Shoe For LeBron

If you’re an aspiring designer looking to refine your technique, break into the industry, or rap with other up-and-coming (or more established) designers, Project Bluefoot is for you. If you’re a shiftless bum with no artistic talent but enjoy discussing the technical merits of athletic footwear and admiring the handiwork of others like myself, PBF is also for you.

The second installment of PBF’s Intelligent Design Competition was announced yesterday. Entrants will be asked to design a Nike Basketball shoe fit for royalty — King LeBron James, that is.

Nike BB Footwear Designers Jason “Alphaproject” Petrie and Ken Link will be judging the renderings.

A Tribute to Michael Jordan: Top Ten Air Jordans of All Time

As most of you either have seen or read, Michael Jordan was inducted into Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on September 11, 2009. The six-time NBA Champion has not only played a huge role in the development of the National Basketball Association (NBA), but has also highly influenced another key part of our lives…sneakers. Jordan Brand is, without a doubt, considered to be one of the greatest sneaker brands ever created. Though Air Jordans were not too popular when the original black and red sneakers released back in 1985, today, Air Jordans are seen as some of the best sneakers available on the market. A key aspect of the success behind Air Jordans is the unique inspiration behind each individual model, which accurately displays the time and effort put into each sneaker. In tribute to Michael Jordan’s recent induction to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, we ask you to please leave a comment with your selection of the top ten Air Jordans of all time.
