by Angel Ortiz | Dec 29, 2022 | Featured, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers

With the recent release of the Jordan 1 High “Chicago” AKA “Lost and Found” Jordan Brand is set to release the Air Jordan 2 “Chicago” the last time we seen an iteration of the “Chicago” Air Jordan 2 was in 2010.

Although the Air Jordan 2 isn’t a popular silhouette it’s probably one of the most iconic as Michael Jordan wore the Air Jordan 2 “Chicago” in the 1987 Slam Dunk Contest. The iconic “White/Black-Varsity Red” colorway can be seen through the shoe. A notable feature is that there is no Jumpman on this silhouette; the Jordan Wings logo is on the tongue.

Releasing on December 30th for a retail price of $220 which will be available in Full-Family sizing. These will be available to purchase at Nike retailers and the Nike SNKRS app

Nike is set to release the Kobe 8 Protro in a few colorways in 2023. The Nike Kobe 8 originally released back in 2012 when basketball sneakers were becoming popular.

The Kobe 8 Protro will stay true to its original shape and design but will feature some new Nike technology that wasn’t added back then. It will get the same treatment as the Kobe 5 Protro and Kobe 6 Protro. No official colorways have been announced yet as they are still in the early stages of production and figuring out which prototype works best for today’s basketball athletes.

It is rumored that the Kobe 8 Protro will be released in Full-Family sizing, Nike seems like they are trying to make these widely available for Kobe Bryant fans and Basketball fans. For now take a look down below at a white colorway along with an all black colorway which is a prototype of the Kobe 8 Protro.

Los Angeles Chargers Vs Indianapolis Colts

Monday Night Football will conclude NFL Week 16 with the (8-6) Los Angeles Chargers taking on the (4-9-1) Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil stadium.

The Chargers come off a tough 17-14 victory against the Tennessee Titans, the Chargers always seem to find themselves winning in the final seconds of the game and haven’t been able to win comfortably in quite some time. The Chargers playoff hopes are very much alive and if they want any chance at making the playoffs and making a legitimate run the offense will have to be nearly perfect with Justin Herbert leading the way and with the rushing attack at its best with Austin Ekeler. The Chargers defense will also need to step up and stop opting teams from running the ball so well.

As for the Colts, they came off a really tough loss, a game in which they led 33-0 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Colts ultimately lost 39-36 in what was the biggest comeback in NFL history. As if blowing lead wasn’t bad enough the Colts also lost their star running back Jonathan Taylor for the remainder of the season. Quarterback Matt Ryan will be sidelined for the game against the Chargers and Nick Foles will be taking over play calling duties this week. The Colts playoff hopes are over and do not have much to play for besides spoiling the Chargers chances of making the playoffs. If the Colts want to win this game they’ll need to convert their red-zone opportunities into Touchdowns.

A AFC conference matchup between the Chargers and Colts could be interesting if the Chargers win the will increase their chances at making the playoffs in a tight race to secure playoff spots.

Score Prediction: Chargers Win (20-14)

But nothing has been confirmed yet and more information will be coming out once the sneaker is ready to release.
