Kyrie Irving Airs Out Nike, Says New Kyrie 8 Is Trash & He Had Nothing To Do With Them
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike Basketball / NIke Ask some of his past teams or teammates, and they might say dealing with Kyrie Irving can be precarious. Nike is learning this first hand as the NBA superstar point guard aired out the brand over his alleged non-involvement in the design and marketing of his next signature sneaker. If Nike maintains its usual timeline, the new Nike Kyrie 8 would be released shortly before the new NBA season. An image of the new model recently leaked on Instagram (via @k11kicks), and the Brooklyn Nets point guard commented, and it was nothing nice. “I have nothing to do with the design or marketing of the upcoming Kyrie 8, IMO these are trash!,” wrote Irving. “I have absolutely nothing to do with them! Nike plans to release it without my okay regardl...

International L’s On Deck: Nike SNKRS Day Restock Will Be An EU Only Release
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike / NIke Nike hates American sneakerheads, allegedly. Ok ok, we’re exaggerating and in our feelings right now, but Nike is definitely blessing Europeans to the point that sneakerheads on the stateside are screaming “WTF?!” Rumors have begun swirling that once again the Nike SNKRS app will be restocking all kinds of grails on Nike SNKRS Day this August 8th, and just like last year it will be an EU exclusive. Why? Just… why? Is it because of the bots? The resellers? Did Joe Hebert move across the pond to continue to bank off the SNKRS app?! Regardless of the reasoning behind the restock being an EU exclusive, all we know is that rumors have it that some heat will be available come August 8. Kicks such as the Travis Scott Air Jordan 6’s, A Ma Manier Air J...
Bandooloo Beware: Nike Trademarks The Air Jordan 1 Silhouette
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 After more than three decades of being arguably the hottest silhouette in the sneaker game, the Air Jordan 1 design has officially been trademarked by Nike. Sneaker Law Firm has confirmed that Nike has federally trademarked the classic silhouette design which was the subject to much bootlegging and biting over the years such as ineverheardofyou’s middle-finger featured design to Fugazi’s six shooter-adorned “One In The Chamber” (they were pretty dope though). Under the new federal protection, anyone looking to bank off bootlegs or remixes of the Air Jordan 1 High, AJ1 Low, and AJ1 Low SE are subject to legal consequences. Wait, what about the Air Jordan 1 Mid? We know people don’t really care for them but damn. Recently N...

Vanessa Bryant Says She Didn’t Approve “Mambacita” Nike Kobe 6 Protro
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Maddie Meyer / Getty Sounds like Nike and Vanessa Bryant are not on the same page. The late Kobe Bryant’s widow has revealed that a “Mambacita” version of the Nike Kobe 6 Protro that she designed was not approved for release. Bryant took to social media to explain that although designed the show in honor of her late daughter, Gianna aka Gigi, considering that she and her husband’s estate decided to not renew its contract with Nike, the sneaker should be a non-starter. She explained the jig in a lengthy Instagram post that included an image of the shoe, a Nike Kobe 6 Protro, in hand, but not her own. “This is a shoe I worked on in honor of my daughter, Gianna,” wrote Bryant. “It was going to be called the MAMBACITA shoe as an exclusive black and white colo...
Virgil Abloh Reveals New Sneaker Box Design for His Nike Collaboration
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jordan Brand / NIke Outside of the album cover for Pop Smoke’s posthumous debut album, Shoot For The Stars, everything Virgil Abloh touches is guaranteed money. Now the revered designer is looking to remix the sneaker box your kicks come in. Yesterday Virgil unveiled the sneaker box that his upcoming Dear Summer collection will be shipping in and if nothing else, it’s damn sure different. Looking like a junior high school project complete with black tape on the edges and a struggle swoosh drawn on the top cover, the box also features the circular cut-outs that debuted on his Air Jordan V collaboration last year. Well, it definitely stands out. While the box looks like it’ll collapse under the weight of other sneaker boxes on top of it, we’re sure it’s stu...

Upon closer inspection, the shoe features mustard, burgundy, pink and crimson colors as well as a chenille Swoosh and a lion mascot. “My interests are in people,” says Plange, who moved from Ghana to Southern California when she was ...
