Anthony Davis, Los Angeles Lakers (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Featured

by Travis Singleton | May 30, 2022 | Featured, NBA, SneakerReporter Top 10 PE Series

This season was challenging for the Los Angeles Lakers and Anthony Davis, especially with his injuries. When Davis is available for the Lakers he’s one of the Top 10 players in the league on both ends. The issue has been the freak incidents during games that have occurred. Coming into this season the Lakers were a heavy favorite to make it to the NBA Finals. Much of that was based on the chemistry between LeBron, AD, and The Brodie.

Anthony Davis averaged 23.2 PPG & 9.8 RPG this season for the Lakers during the season. The crazy thing about this season for Anthony Davis is the fact he had all those monster numbers in only 40 games this season. The Lakers struggled as LeBron had to get back into his MVP bag almost every night without his big man AD in the lineup. When AD did play he showcased that true talent that everyone in the NBA is scared to face.

The Lakers know exactly how to get Anthony Davis going and they know his sweet spots on the court. No one questions his ability to get the job done it’s just his availability. AD has the potential to go down as one of the best big men in NBA history if he can stay on the court. Davis has one of the smoothest jumpers and on the defensive end, he can block anything that comes in the paint. Anthony Davis has balled out in the Nike Kobe series for the last couple of seasons. This season Davis was hooping in the Nike Kobe 6 and he’s had some of the best PEs without question. Kobe was one of Anthony Davis’ mentors during his time in the 2012 Olympics and that carried on into the NBA as well.

Kyrie Irving, Brooklyn Nets (SneakerReporter Top 10 PEs Series)

Featured

by Travis Singleton | May 23, 2022 | Featured, NBA, SneakerReporter Top 10 PE Series

This was definitely a different season for Kyrie Irving who stood for what he believed in. Kyrie was only available for 29 games due to his stance on the COVID-19 Vaccine. We learned a lot more about Kyrie Irving and his personal life this past season. He did a lot more Instagram Lives and Interviews this season than he has in the past. When Kyrie Irving is on the court he’s one of the best players that the game has ever seen. This season Kyrie averaged 27.4 PPG and showed that he could get it done even with limited playing time. Check out below the work that Kyrie was able to put in proving nothing can stop his amazing layup package and offensive skill set.

Kyrie came into the season with a little friction over the “Nike Kyrie 8” with Nike but patched it up during the season. In the 29 games that Kyrie played in, he still showcased a lot of heat on the court. Every night Kyrie hit the court he channeled his inner Mamba Mentality and honored Kobe & Gigi on his sneakers. Kyrie has the best-selling Nike Basketball shoe on a yearly basis and a lot of his peers in the NBA rock his shoe on a nightly basis.

The Nike Kyrie Collection was on full display in the 2021-2022 season. This year he rocked some of the dopest PEs as he continues to put Brooklyn on the map while showcasing his Mamba Mentality. Kyrie comes with some crazy colorways that aren’t available to the public but they always hope for a public release soon after. The Nike Kyrie’s had some dope colorways that were released to the public that can be seen below before all the PEs. Check out the Nike Kyries that he laced up on the court below with his PEs.

There were some rumors going around saying that Nike may not continue with the Kyrie Brand. If that were to be true Nike & Kyrie gave us a lot of heat and colorways to remember. Overall it will be a huge loss for Nike as Kyrie brought them a lot of revenue and still remains to be a huge draw in the NBA from the public.

Featured

by Travis Singleton | May 16, 2022 | Featured, SneakerReporter Top 10 PE Series

Trae Young entered the league in 2018 and has been nothing short of spectacular. Young has proven that size doesn’t matter when you’re one of the best shooters in the world. From Norman to Atlanta this man Trae Young has let it be known that he’s a professional bucket getter. On the season Trae averaged 28.4 PPG and 9.7 AST for the Atlanta Hawks. He’s been a true leader and someone that the whole city of Atlanta has embraced.

Even though the season didn’t end the way that Trae Young and the Hawks would like in 2022. The Hawks have a bright future and a star that’s leading them in the right direction for the future. The Hawks were in the Eastern Conference Finals last year and with the emergence of Trae Young, they will be back very soon. Ice Trae has shown that he can score and get his teammates involved at an elite rate in the NBA throughout his early career. Young can hit you for 50 points and turn around then give you 15 assists. That’s how much his game has matured in a short span of time and he will only get better in ATL under Nate McMillian.

The Adidas Trae Young 1 was on full display in the 2021-2022 season. This year he’s rocked some of the dopest PEs as he continues to put Atlanta on the map. Adidas always laces Trae with some crazy colorways that aren’t available to the public but they always hope for a public release soon after. The Adidas Trae Young 1 had some dope colorways that were released to the public that can be seen below before all the PEs.

SneakerReporter NFL (Top Ten Games of the 2022 NFL Season)

Featured

by Christopher Dozal | May 13, 2022 | Featured, NFL

The 2022 NFL schedule has been released and we have some great games to watch this season. We are in for a very competitive and exciting season in 2022. The rookies are looking to make their impact and some old faces in new places. And of course, the defending champs Los Angeles Rams looking to run it back for a 2^nd straight championship. Let’s go over my top 10 games to watch this season.

(Week 1) Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks: In week one we have Russel Wilson in Seattle but this time as a Denver Bronco. Russel looking to start the season with a win against his former team in what most would call a revenge game but don’t this one should be considered as the organization and Russel Wilson was on good terms when the trade was made. A warm welcome is expected when Russel walks out the tunnel on the first Monday Night Football game of the season.

(Week 1) Oakland Raiders vs Los Angeles Chargers: Derek Carr earned the extension he received to stay with the Raiders, and he looks to continue to improve from the previous season. Raiders with major improvement after arguably adding the best receiver in the league in Davante Adams. Chargers and Justin Herbert look to start the season with a win in hopes of making the playoffs this season after barely missing a playoff berth after an amazing week 17 matchup with the Oakland Raiders. Both teams look to make a statement in week one as they are in what could be the toughest division in the NFL

(Week 1) Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Rams: The defending champs get tested right away with a matchup against the Buffalo Bills who look to finally get over the top and make the super bowl as they have been contenders the past two seasons. The Rams have surprisingly improved their roster as well as kept the majority of their roster from the championship season. Adding Bobby Wagner to the defense to replace Von Miller who signed with the Bills in the offseason. Ram’s are favorites to win Super Bowl this season and ready to run it back with Aarron Donald leading the charge.

(Week 3) Green Bay Packers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Aaron Rodger going into this season with a new contract but shortly after was hit with a huge surprise when the Packers organization traded away his top weapon Devante Adams. Bucs were led by Tom Brady who retired after last season, but it was a short retirement when he decided that he wasn’t done. But the headline here is a possible last matchup between two of the best to play this game in their position. A matchup we all love to see and I’m sure they won’t disappoint.

(Week 4) Kansa City Chiefs vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Rematch from 2020 Super Bowl where the Buccaneers dominated the Chiefs to take home the Lombardi trophy in a 31-9 victory. We are in for a shoot-out where it could come down to which defense can make that last stop to win the game.

(Week 5) Kansas City Chiefs vs. Oakland Raiders: In what is possibly the toughest division in football this season both teams look to take the top spot. Raiders a much-improved team from last season look to show the Chiefs that they are going to be a problem for them and will not let them win the division easily. The Chiefs won the division the past two seasons with the Raiders right behind them.

(Week 6) Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys: Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot are coming into this season with intentions of proving many wrongs that the Cowboys are winners and be contenders this season after being knocked out in the Wild Card game. Eagles’ new offense with A.J. Brown added and Jalen Hurts leading the offense look to make the playoff this season with offseason moves made to improve the roster. Everyone loves a rivalry game and this one is going to be a good one to watch on Sunday Night Football.

(Week 9) Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Los Angeles Rams: Anticipated rematch from last year’s division round where the Rams beat the Bucs in a close game 30-27. Possibly the loss that retired Brady for a short period, but he is back and looking to beat the Rams in mid-season which could be the first matchup of two if they meet in playoffs again. Just like the division round game I expect this to be a high-scoring game and down to the wire.

(Week 16) Christmas Day Games: NFL football on Christmas Day!? This season we get three games on Christmas. The first matchup is between the Packers and Miami in a Tua vs Rodgers matchup. Followed by the Broncos led by Russel Wilson versus Matt Stafford and the Rams. Ending the night with the Bucs against the Cardinals in a matchup that includes a Hall of Famer Tom Brady and future of the NFL in Kyler Murray

International Games this season:

Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints / Oct 2, 9:30 a.m. ET Tottenham Hotspur Stadium / London, U.K

New York Giants vs Green Bay Packers / Oct 9, 9:30 a.m. ET Tottenham Hotspur Stadium / London, U.K.

Denver Broncos vs. Jacksonville Jaguars / Oct 30, 9:30 a.m. ET Wembley Stadium / London, U.K.

Seattle Seahawks vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers / Nov. 13, 9:30 a.m. ET Allianz Arena / Munich, Germany

San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals / Nov. 21 8:15 p.m. ET Estadio Azteca / Mexico City, Mexico

Featured

The Direction Is There Is No Direction

Streetwear brand Diet Starts Monday(DSM), pays homage to its design founder, Davin Gentry’s midwest nostalgic by teaming up with the legacy running shoemaker, Saucony to design and release the latest Endorphin Pro, a true performance shoe that champions urban athleticism. Blendings Diet’s ethos of inclusivity, art, and streetwear, with Saucony’s expertise in performance, stability, speed, and comfort. Every material and stitch obsessed over to cut weight. It’s the attitude of a track spike, in a shoe built for the demands of distance. If you thought you knew your limits, think again.

The connection between DSM and Saucony dates back to Davin’s first pair of sneakers purchased with his own money, the Saucony Jazz. Oddly enough after the brands were introduced through a mutual friend the idea was to release a special in the Grid Web model that would have been released at Complex Con in 2019. After deciding to not participate that year it was back to the drawing board. During another business meeting, Davin’s eye was drawn to the Endorphin Pro the shape of the sneaker spoke to him. The idea of a brand putting out a performance running shoe compared to a lifestyle sneaker is what enticed DSM to use the Endorphin Pro as the debut collaboration with Saucony.

The DSM influence is heavily present in design choices for the Endorphine Pro such as the DSM appearing on the tongue and side panel of the shoe that uses the Saucony “S”, as well as the signature color yellow being used as the main focus of the sneaker. Dressed in a yellow Wolverine premium suede upper (unlike most running shoes that use mesh), Medial side embroidered Saucony x DSM logo lock up, Lateral side high-density Saucony x DSM branding, Custom sock liner, and rubber dipped laces finish off the design. This sneaker also comes with a white and yellow custom box that features branding from both brands respectively.

Performance features of the Diet Starts Monday x Saucony Endorphin Pro included propulsive SPEEDROLL Technology, ultralight PWRRUNPB for added spring and energy return, Signature S-curve carbon-fiber plate makes for powerful transitions with max SPEEDROLL effect, Ultralight mesh upper with suede detailing and perforated tongue for added comfort and breathability, FORMFIT hugs the foot in 3D comfort, while enhanced heel support and anti-slip laces keep you secure at any speed-XT-900 outsole with reinforced high-abrasion zones provides optimal traction and durability, and constructed with recycled materials to reduce the carbon footprint.

All Little About Diet Starts Monday:

An innovative men’s retail brand that originated in Washington, D.C., where there is a vast amount of cultural diversity. The company first birthed the unique idea of not only combining retail with a restaurant but with a bar as well. this type of captivating consumer engagement was a new form of retail therapy. their experience-driven retail approach drove the brand to focus on their forte—quality cut-and-sew clothing. Diet Starts Monday expanding its business with premium collaborations and activation pop-ups in standalone venues, or in larger shops such as Fred Segal. the goal is to constantly build brand awareness, and they strive for limitless creative retail ideas instead of being restrained by the typical in-store experience.
