Back in June, a collaborative project between KICKZ, adidas and the Alba Creators Lounge started with a bang, the AS1 Summer League! The location is unlike any other. A streetball court surrounded by the rails of the S-Bahn, the streets and the river Spree. One of a kind! So it’s just fitting that the competition […]
It’s been a while since Nike launched a completely new sole technology. On August 3rd however, REACT will officially launch with the Nike Hyperdunk 2017 Flyknit and the Jordan Super.Fly 2017.

Now that Russell Westbrook has broken Oscar Robertson’s 55-year-old record of 41 triple doubles in a single season, I take the opportunity to look at some other records, but only those I am convinced will NOT be broken. Scoring more than 100 points is not one of them, by the way, because I think – however unlikely […]
That. Damn. Song. In pure NCAA tradition there is this one song they always use for the official recap video. Sung by Luther Vandross “One Shining Moment” has been the official March Madness anthem for many many years now and once you have seen the video, watching basketball in slow motion may never be the […]
I remember it as if it was yesterday. 1997. NBA Playoffs. Best of 5. It’s the Florida duel. The Orlando Magic take on the Miami Heat in the first round. I’m 10 years old. I’m wearing my Penny jersey with the shoes to match, the Nike Air Penny II. There he is, my hero, Anfernee […]
