Penny hardaway hints at white and black version of foams

In a recent interview with Power 105.1, Penny Hardaway discussed his ever-so-popular Foamposite line with The Breakfast Club. Penny stated that he has “a lot of input” on the colorways and that he talks with the guys at Nike “about six months” before the sneakers drop. He also spoke on the possibility of violence surrounding the “Galaxy” release.

“You don’t want to do anything that you’d ever regret for a pair of sneakers,” Hardaway said. “It is (just) sneakers. I’ve read things that have been disturbing to me because you don’t want to hurt anyone or kill anyone over some sneakers.” He also stated that he’s working to bring out the all-white Foamposite One he wore in the Dwight Howard All-Star game as well as an all-black colorway. Stay tuned for more news

next galaxy shoe release date unknown

Galaxy foams update from a good source

Sorry guys i just came home i grabbed something to eat but anywho while at work today we got a couple of visit's from Nike rep's in Oregon headquarters. They came into town to see how our store is producing blah blah. First floor they look at is the 5th floor (my floor) They are really cool people so i simply asked them questions about the galaxy.

THIS RELEASE FOR THE GALAXY FOAMS WILL BE RELEASE 2X.

Because of all the mayhem they witness past weekend they felt bad. So All the stores that have canceled still have their stock and will be released. A few pages back i mention they wanted all stores to do raffles. This is still true but not ALL stores. As we speak Nike is planning to release them in March/April and the second time will be in the summer. They figured they did so well releasing the Dave White Air Jordan I's twice that they are currently producing more for the summer release. The summer release will be a Limited release. I REPEAT LIMITED RELEASE. ALL NIKETOWN AND HOUSE OF HOOPS WILL HAVE THEM. I can vouch for NTNY that we will do a wristband for the summer released and we are NOT letting people start camping until we close so if we see you best believe your butt will be tossed. And also Nike is doing a kobe cloak version for the foams. Be on the look out soon, theirs catalog snap shots out there already.

Again THESE SHOES WILL BE RELEASING 2X AND WILL BE A LS. So all Niketown and House Of Hoops will have them

Galaxy foams for car!!!

Oh yes, ish is beyond real at this point. We knew people were serious about getting Galaxy Foams when we heard about the House of Hoops NYC campers on Saturday. NikeStore crushed dreams last night when they confirmed that they would not be releasing the Galaxy Foamposites online.

Yesterday we also caught wind of the Foams making the front page of the NY Daily News paper. Today we learned that someone from Queens is willing to trade his used 1996 Chevy Cavalier for a size 10.5 Galaxy Foamposites. Yes, this is real, people. The car works, too.



Here’s his listing description from craigslist:

“Looking to trade my car, 96 chevy cavalier for a pair for galaxy foamposite size 10.5. Yes car for sneakers. Car will come with a full tank of gas also. Nothing fake about this deal. You give me your pair of galaxy foamposite size 10.5 and i give you my car, keys, clean signed tittle and ill even the bill of sale filled out already. And ill even drive to you. The pictures is the actual car. Picture was not photoshop or enhanced in anyway. It was taken with my cell phone also.
I use the car to drive me to work everyday since i bought it. Nothing wrong with it. I bought the car from the original owner in Oct of last year. He never smoke and i dont smoke so the car is a smoke free car. It has an alarm in it a 10 disc cd changer, anti lock brakes, power locks, air conditioner and interior is clean. call or text me xxx-xxx-xxxx”

How do you feel about this trade offer? Would you trade your car for Foams or vice versa? It’s been amazing hearing some of the stories surrounding this highly anticipated release, but this one tops the cake so far. Hit the up the comment section and express yourself.

Good Deal or No Deal?

Nike Sportswear Pays Homage to USA Basketball’s Dream Team

The Destroyer Jacket is fast becoming one of the go to styles in Nike Sportswear‘s arsenal, and they’ve selected the silhouette yet again for a very special tribute ahead of this year’s 2012 Summer Olympics at London. Looking back to one of the greater moments in Olympic history, the jacket pays homage to The Dream Team, the USA Basketball squad assembled for the 1992 Summer Olympic Games Barcelona games that absolutely crushed the competition. The detailing throughout the jacket speaks to the story, from the ‘XX’ patches as a nod to the 20th anniversary of that unstoppable team, to the embroidered detailing displaying the massive point gap they left in their wake in each game they played. Along with the jacket, Nike Sportswear will be re-issuing some key sneaker styles, some of them worn on court during the ’92 games and some simply redone to ooze Olympic flavor. Follow us after the jump for the whole Dream Team collection from Nike Sportswear and stay with realkalikokyle.blogspot.com for release info.

nike Space Exploration Pack


The NBA All-Star Game is in Orlando this year, and do you know what happens near Orlando? NASA. In celebration of NASA (and the All-Star Game) Nike is releasing the Space Exploration and All-Star Game Packs, a batch of galactic-themed sneakers. Oh, and they GLOW IN THE DARK.

The Space Exploration Pack consists of special "galaxy" editions of the Nike Dunk, Flight One and Foamposite models, which resemble moon boots, or are cloaked in wild, galactic imagery, or some combination of the two. But there are also a trio of kicks that Kobe, Lebron, and Kevin Durant will be wearing on All-Star weekend. The LeBron 9, Nike Zoom KD IV shoes are designed to look like space suits—Lebron's shoe looks like the orange pressure suits astronauts wear during take-off, Durant's shoe is modeled after the silver Mercury space suit. The Nike Zoom Kobe VII System shoe, on the other hand, is designed to look like a supernova.

These are probably the most futuristic pair of kicks this side of the Air McFly's, but unlike those mythical beasts, you'll be able to buy these ones. The Space Exploration pack (the ones against the starry background) will be available on February 23, while the All-Star Game Pack (the ones against the black backgrounds) will be available on February 24 online at NikeStore.
