KD 8 pics have arrived


Pictures and videos of what is presumably Kevin Durant's upcoming signature sneaker are all over social media.

This KD 8 is seen in all-red and as comments have pointed out, more or less looks like an Air Max running shoe. One curious feature though is whether the upper material is engineered mesh or the rumored flyknit said to be coming to KD's shoe. Honestly though, it looks like flyknit.

Below are additional screencaps of a video posted by IG user snkr_base



As there is no official word yet from Nike (or if this is indeed the KD 8), there are currently two conflicting dates on this model's release with some saying June and others July. Either way, it should still give you enough time to decide whether to pick up a pair.

Could this be Under Armour's first tennis shoe?

Two-time grandslam champion Andy Murray started the season by jumping from the brand with three stripes to the second-largest US sportswear brand Under Armour.

Not entirely though. While Murray--who won his first grandslam during the 2012 US Open and followed it up with a Wimbledon win in 2013--has been wearing Under Armour apparel since his first tournament of the year in Abu Dhabi, he was still wearing Adidas tennis sneakers.

Until now.

Murray's official Facebook page posted this photo a few hours ago:


Upon closer inspection, it looks like a low-cut Clutchfit Drive basketball shoe and Murray, who is still in contention in the Mutua Madrid Open tournament, certainly can't seem to wait to test out what could very well be his signature sneaker with Under Armour. 

It uses the same Micro G foam cushioning system made popular by Under Armour's basketball sneakers and I might as well throw it out there and guess that it also has the same AnaFoam upper.

With Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry winning this year's 2015 KIA NBA MVP award and getting a special edition Curry One, it seems Under Armour is going all out to make sure their athletes get only the best sneakers and that of course includes Murray, who has won his first clay title this year at the BMW Open in Munich.

So are you excited to see Under Armour's first tennis shoe? I'm sure I am.

As if you needed convincing, here are pics of the Jordan 11 BRED lows


When it comes to the Jordan 11, it's quite certain that Jordan Brand wouldn't need to promote it even more. The shoe sells itself as fanboys get wet with with every release of whatever colorway.

So now here's another reason why Michael Jordan will remain a billionaire in the foreseeable future, the low cut version of the grail-status Jordan 11 BREDs (short for black reds).

Release date is set for May 23 and it has an SRP of $170.

And get this, it's apparently going to be a general release so look for it to be rocked to death by every Tom, Dick, and Harry with matching basketball shorts at your local malls.
