Chicago House of Hoops Friday Releases

Chicago House of Hoops Friday Releases

House of Hoops opened its third location this past weekend in Chicago, Illinois. We have heard that they have been dropping some very nice player exclusives since their opening. Earlier we showed you one of their releases in the form of Ray Allen and Joe Johnson’s Air Jordan Jumpman PEs. Tomorrow, November 13th, 2008, Chicago’s House of Hoops will be releasing three more player exclusive sneakers.

The hometown Chicago Bulls are represented by Larry Hughes’s Nike Hyperdunk Supreme and Drew Gooden’s Nike Air Power Max. Both sneakers feature the Bulls colorway. Larry Hughes’s PE has the word ‘Homegrown’ written in cursive on the tongue. We have spotted Drew Gooden wearing this exact colorway of the Power Max in this specific edition of our Kicks On Court (KOC).

Last but not least, the Kobe Bryant Nike Hyperdunk Snake Pool will also be released. It features a Laker-yellow upper with purple accents on the swoosh, midsole, heel and tongue. While we have yet to see KB hoop in these, we have spotted him in the Nike Hyperdunk/Nike Kobe 4 hybrid in our KOC as well.
