Plain and simple, pics of the new Air Kobe 4 and the Lebron VI…

This is the Air Kobe 4.  Kobe was rumored to have asked for a low cut shoe this time around.  Its also heavily influenced by soccer shoes.  Growing up in Italy Black Mamba was a big fan of soccer and still plays today in the off season to help with conditioning.  I can’t put my finger on it and yes its a little busy but I like it.

And here is the Lebron VI

and hey while we are at it, take a look at one of the coolest Carolina themed shoes I have ever seen, the Jordan XV SE:

Thanks as always goes out the folks on NikeTalk for the pics.

Its official.  After a suprise agreement today the Sonics of Seattle are no more and will be moving on to Oklahoma City for the 08-09 season.  As a huge sonics fan in the early 90′s (those post Magic pre Shaq & Kobe teams were hard to get behind, other then Vlade of course) its truly a sad day to see this storied franchise go.  I mean how can a former NBA champion just fade off into nothingness?  The whole thing stinks to high heaven and I can’t for the life of me figure out why Stern has all along seemed to say “screw you Seattle we are moving them” and never made an effort to keep them there.

People of Seattle you have my condolences…just remember the good times, Payton, Kemp, Schrempf, Perkins, McMillan, etc…
