Straight as an arrow, poster-boy looks and an image so squeaky clean and immaculate it borders on boring. Thanks to Jack Kirby, Stan Lee and the MCU that is the first thing that comes to our mind when we think of ‘Captain America’. But there’s always two sides to a coin and in an alternate […]
This is a special one. About a year ago I was given the opportunity to write about my sneaker experiences on the KICKZ Blog and back then, it all started with the Nike Kyrie 6. So it’s kind of coming full circle now as I am here to talk about the next edition in this […]
Hello everyone, I am back with another performance review on KICKZ.com! This time, I am taking a look at Paul GEORGE’s latest shoe. As the name suggests, the PG 5 is Nike’s fifth sneaker of this signature line already. Is this turning out to slowly become a real fan favorite? Let’s see what kind of […]
Opinion: Confirmation Bias In psychology confirmation bias describes the tendency to confirm one’s own assumptions and expectations. Within this construct information and circumstances are unconsciously selected, interpreted and weighted in such a way that they fit into the existing worldview.

Trae Young has become a polarizing figure in his third season in the NBA – apparently among his colleagues as well. What makes the Atlanta Hawks guard so strident? And is that really even the case? It’s shocking how much can change with one calendar year. In early 2020, Corona was associated predominantly with the […]

DeMar DeRozan has undoubtedly gone through a considerable development in his career – transforming from a one-dimensional shooting guard with the Toronto Raptors to a three-point shooting power forward with the San Antonio Spurs. A closer look shows just how multi-faceted and nuanced the metamorphosis has been. Basketball fans with some literary background might […]
These are trash, but in a good way ♻️. The Cosmic Unity is Nike‘s first performance shoe under its Move to Zero initiative and features 25% of recycled materials in each shoe. Pretty good storyline that really only gets better by having them MVP certified by A’ja WILSON 🔥, who is Nike’s main endorser for […]
Fellow ballers, let me introduce Stephen CURRY‘s latest signature shoe to you. Technically, this is Under Armour’s eighth iteration of its very popular Curry line but it’s also kind of not. The Baltimore based sports giant introduced Curry Brand as an independent brand in late 2020, which actually made these the debut shoe of UA‘s […]
At 35 years old, Chris Paul’s career looked almost over. The point guard was then traded for a fourth time and Paul is once again showing with the Phoenix Suns how he can shape a franchise. And why he remains a “point god”. The NBA finds itself in a major shift. The days of players […]
