DC rapper Wale is quickly establishing himself as the most aware sneaker-head in the rap game around these parts. Not only did he get his hands on the Copper Foamposites early, he also seems to wear a new impressive pair of sneakers at every awards show, concert or red-carpet event.

When the Yankees wrapped up their 27th World Series, A-Rod got himself a ring, Joe Girardi got the doubters off his case, and New York placed themselves back on top yet again.

That being said, we’ve assembled this list of 27 sneakers in navy, grey and white to help you show your die-hard fanhood, or to match that fitted you bought online midway through game six.
So far, Jordan Brand has released the 60+ model in black/red-white, “Laney High School”, the “Detroit Pistons” and the “Atlanta Hawks”.

This year, we have not seen as many retro basketball sneakers as usual. On the contrary, the new silhouettes have been taking early at least for the first part of the season. However, check out today’s Kicks On Court to see what retro Delonte West chose to sport.
In a losing effort against the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West laced up the timeless Nike Air Max2 CB94. We’re sure Charles Barkley felt honored while sitting in the TNT studios watching the game. If you recall, ‘Sir Charles’ wore this sneaker during the 1993-94 NBA season. It has often been said that the Air Max2 CB94 is one of the more comfortable sneakers ever. Click here to view more kicks worn by LeBron James, Deron Williams, Derrick Rose and others.
Sneaker lovers and sport enthusiasts have so much in common. Both have an innate streak of
crazy. Both know that sometimes they have to patiently wait for the things they want most – limited
editions, championship titles, etc. But most importantly, both understand that the colors they paint
on their faces and the kicks they put on their feet define who they are.
For these reasons, PUMA teamed up with Philadelphia sneaker collector boutique UBIQ. Located
in center city, UBIQ sits at the heart of a sport-crazed culture – where brotherly love is more like
sibling rivalry and fans have souls made of steel.
