Casual colorways weren’t always as an effortless crossover on performance basketball shoes. Baring a below ankle build and devoid of signature attributes that made the midtop iconic, the Air Jordan 13 Low “Chutney” was a risk. It was different. Like most makeups that went against the grain, this pair has become more adored over time due much in part to its unique look and lack of retro presence. For today’s #XX8DaysOfFlight feature, we unbox a deadstock pair from 1998.

The Nike Roshe Run FB ‘Cheetah’ is the latest installment in the Roshe Run series; it was set to begin life as the Roshe Run 2013 but has undergone a change of name.  Or maybe this is a different model; everything’s the same here except the placement of the Swoosh.

The print is purportedly a cheetah print but if you ask me its more leopard than cheetah; those are rosettes there on the upper and not the solid spots that you would see on a cheetah. Orange lining, laces, and outsole complete the picture.

Take a look at the images, what do you think of the position of the action green swoosh?

As a member of the Memphis Grizzlies, Rudy Gay had a small rotation of the Hyperposite, the Air Max Tempo and a few Jordans, including the “Concord” 11. Now that he’s donning black, red and white with the Raptors, expect to see Gay in wider variety of sneakers much like the majority of the Toronto team.

In his Raptors debut last night, Rudy wore the Air Jordan 6 “Carmine” on his way to 20 points off the bench. Rudy Gay becomes the second player to wear the “Carmine” 6s on court this season with the other being Nick Young. View these kicks plus more, worn by DeMar DeRozan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and others, in today’s edition of Kicks On Court.

I like this shoe more and more with each passing colorway. This all-black version is awesome in my opinion. It’s very simple yet stylish.
