Meet Muvez

 

 

 

 

These days being fresh is everything. We want the newest kicks and the latest gear all in the pursuit of freshness. Even when the freshness comes at our own expense. Too often the gear we wear is optimized for performance on the court and not for leisure. Muvez brings comfort and style to the home with their assortment of footwear. Their dedication to bringing the aesthetic cool of a sneaker to the comfort of an indoor slipper brings a revolution at the footwear forefront. After countless hours of research and development and two trips to China, the Muvez team finally nailed their product. Kevin and Ryan were able to bring their vision to light with the help of hard work/social media.

 

The crux on which the 3:AM kicks hinge on is their patented double sole technology that allows a seamless transition from the home to the streets. The pop-in and pop-out aspect of their product almost make other shoes seem antiquated. In their slipper form, the MUVEZ provides comfort above the level of a standard house shoe thanks to their sport based construction. The zero-gravity cushioned insoles are as light as they are responsive. The thinner sole, made for indoor use, provides the perfect cushion for leisurely activity and adds an extra boost once you pop into the external sole.

 

The Muvez 3:AM are perfect for a myriad of situations. The lightweight and breezy custom knit upper are virtually weightless and the soft cushioned EVA soles offer a level of protection unparalleled for home wear. They’re perfect for your everyday tasks around the house like cleaning, emptying the trash, and taking the dog outside. Once, you slide into the patented dual sole technology, however, your 3:AMs are ready to go wherever you are. In one movement, your relaxation shoes are your adventure kicks without all the embarrassment of being in public in your slippers.

 

 

In my personal opinion, this is one of the most comfortable shoes on the market. The 3:AM is something that I use to wear around the house and I put them on post-workout. The thing that stands out to me the most is the fact that you can change the colors and do mismatch. The shoe is very versatile and they’re unique/one of a kind. I’ve been able to wear these in any type of weather with the grip support on the sole. This shoe has been ahead of its time and it’s very generational. I get a lot of compliments when I rock these and I’m ready to get more colorways to express myself on a daily as well. You can wear these at the basketball courts and you can wear these in the comfort of your own home. This is a product that I co-sign and this is something that I’ve been able to see grow from the beginning to the end of the process. The materials on these 3:AM shoes make you feel like you’re walking on clouds. It also helps that when you step out of the house you know that you have a luxury product attached to your feet.

 

The 3:AM slippers come in 4 colors: Rose Red, Vanta Black, Stone Grey, and Maverick Blue. Outside of the Vanta Black, each pair’s standard sole is white, with the Vanta Black colorway going for the black on black aesthetic. The removable sole is available in either black or white allowing for some flexibility and customization for your selected pair. At only $100, MUVEZ has developed the perfect footwear for virtually any situation. For just $160 you can purchase a dual pack that includes a second pair of slippers and a second pair of the removable soles in black for ultra customization. You could even wear one black sole and one white if you wanted. Head over to Muvez.co to get your pair of the 3:AMs now.

 

You’ll thank us.

The Memphis Grizzlies Snap OKC’s 4 Game Win Streak Tonight (110-97)

The Memphis Grizzlies Snap OKC’s 4 Game Win Streak Tonight (110-97)

Featured

by | Dec 27, 2019 | Featured, NBA

The Oklahoma City Thunder were coming into this game as one of the hottest teams in the NBA. The Thunder were able to manage a 4 game winning streak and Memphis was one of those teams apart of it. The Memphis Grizzlies came into this game wanting revenge as they blew a 24 point lead to the Thunder last week. This was a weird game as both the Grizzlies and Thunder played a little sloppy on the offensive end. Tonight the Thunder had 4 scorers in double figures but they weren’t able to get anything going in crucial moments in the game. Every time the Thunder made a run to try and get close to the Grizzlies it seemed as though Jackson Jr or Valanciunas hit a tough shot. The Thunder were struggling in the paint defensively tonight as they allowed 66 points. Both Jaren Jackson Jr and Jonas Valanciunas had their inside game working tonight as both combined for 41 points on the night. Jaren Jackson had an impressive night and he’s been showing off some range as he was able to connect on a couple of 3 pointers. Jaren showed that he can score inside and out tonight as he had a mix of Darius Bazley and Mike Muscala guarding him. Jaren Jackson Jr’s still young and he was able to make some plays in the open court that veterans make especially at that size. The other player that was dominating in the paint tonight for the Memphis Grizzlies was Jonas Valanciunas as he was able to battle it out with Steven Adams. It seemed as though Jonas got the best of Steven Adams tonight in this matchup because his team won. Jonas was able to get a lot of second-chance points on the offensive end which helped the Grizzlies keep a lead throughout the game. Ja Morant had a quiet night and for a team like this that usually depends on the ROTY, they held their own. Morant finished with 10 points on the night as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was making it tough on him all night. The length of Shai was able to limit Morant going to the basket and getting open looks at the rim. The Thunder defended Morant as good as you can on the night and made the other’s beat them and the others actually came through. The Grizzlies had 5 players that were in double figures on the night and they had a lot of momentum in crunch time moments. The Grizzlies bench stepped up big in this as the Thunder were caught playing catchup all night instead of heading to their 5th straight win.

 

 

The Thunder weren’t able to get off to the start that they needed to get this win. Interior defense was the big problem for the night as the Thunder gave up 66 points to the Grizzlies in the paint. The Grizzlies bigs set the tone in this one as the Thunder were fighting for a chance to get back in the game. The Grizzlies had a 20 point lead in this one and it was a little to late for the comeback this time. Chris Paul was the leading scorer for the Thunder tonight with 23 points and 11 assists. CP3 was able to get open on a lot of pick and pops with Steven Adams. It was clear that Chris Paul and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander were able to take advantage of Ja Morant’s bad game. Chris Paul was trying to do everything he can to get the Thunder back in this game but the Grizzlies were able to hit some tough shots. Shai on the other hand was able to affect the game on the defensive and offensive end. Shai finished the game with 21 points and was able to use his crafty layups and his aggressiveness to get to that point total. It’s only Shai’s second year in the NBA but he plays like a 10 year veteran. Tonight Shai made some tough shots over Dillion Brooks who was guarding him and it didn’t matter who was in front of him he wanted to score. Dennis Schröder also showed up tonight as he finished with 20 points on the night. The Thunder three-headed guard monsters were able to get their points in but when the other guys don’t step up it doesn’t turn out good. It seemed as though in the second half the Grizzlies were trying to make others beat them the way they sagged off. The Thunder had a tough loss tonight that put them back to .500 on the season. The Thunder will be looking to bounce back tomorrow night in Charolette as they look for their 16th win on the year. The Thunder will need to defend better tomorrow night as they will need to defend Graham and Rozier.

OKC Ruins Paul George’s Return Beating The LA Clippers (118-112)

OKC Ruins Paul George’s Return Beating The LA Clippers (118-112)

Featured

by | Dec 23, 2019 | Featured, NBA

Paul George was coming back to Oklahoma City to play the team that he left this offseason via trade. It was never but love for Paul George when he hit the court in Oklahoma City. A lot of the media were wondering how Paul George would be received by the OKC fans. Well, tonight in the return of Paul George the fans were cheering him and the OKC Thunder even had a little tribute clip played for PG-13 as well. The OKC Thunder were a true class act and the fans followed that until the game started so they can cheer the home team. The Thunder came out slow in this game against the Clippers as they were able to dominate in the paint very early. The play of Harrell and Zubac was making it tough on the Thunder int he interior. On the night Harrell had 18 points and was able to be very physical in the paint. The Clippers made it an added effort to set the tone early and it was working. Paul George was able to get his game going in that first half and this is something that the Thunder are used to seeing from the past. Paul had his whole package on display as he was hitting 3 pointers, driving to the lane, and he was able to create space with his smooth crossover/jumper. The Thunder had Terrance Ferguson on Paul George all night and he was able to make it tough on PG-13 on some shots. Ferguson was able to slow down Paul George in the 2nd half and it won’t come up on the stat sheet but he was able to make him work for everything. Paul George was able to score at will in the 1st half and the 2nd half he didn’t get the chance to get open looks. While Paul George wasn’t able to execute to the level he wanted too in that 2nd half he had back up. Since the Clippers were without Patrick Beverley and Kawhi Leonard they had Lou Williams starting. Lou Williams was able to carry the LA Clippers in scoring as he’s been the microwave on the offensive end for them. Lou Williams finished with 22 points on the night but his crafty offense and smooth jumper weren’t enough to pull this one out for the Clippers. The Clippers had 5 scorers in double figures but they weren’t enough to get the job done tonight as the Thunder were able to come back from an 18 point lead.

 

The Oklahoma City Thunder came into this game with comebacks of 26, 24, and now 18 points. This Thunder team is very scrappy and they have a lot of talent that people sleep on. The Thunder team has been able to make the opposing teams pay and it starts with the play of their three guards. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chris Paul, and Dennis Schröder. Tonight was the night that Shai wanted to let his former team and teammates know that they shouldn’t have got rid of him. Tonight Shai was able to score with his scoop and also he had his fadeaway jumper working. When Shai plays with this type of confidence on any given night I feel like he makes it tough on any defense. Tonight Shai was able to match his career-high in points with 32 again after posting that against the Suns. The second-year player is quickly emerging as a star in this league and a player that teams will have to gameplan for now. The way that Shai has played on both ends of the floor including tonight against the Clippers has been special. Shai has made some big plays on the defensive end that has led to his offense and creating others. The confidence that he’s playing with right now has been spilling over and you can tell he’s been in a zone. Shai had a three-pointer that he hit right in front of the Clippers bench and he made sure they knew he made it. When Shai plays with his type of style and confidence like calling for the ball because he knows that he has the matchup he’s a problem. The length from Shai was able to make it tough for Paul George and others to defend him on the night. Another player that was able to make things possible for the Thunder to get this victory was Dennis Schröder. When Dennis comes into the game he gives this team a big jolt in energy on both sides of the floor. The way that Dennis plays the game is very slithery and his first step is extremely quick. Dennis is showing everyone what he’s able to do with the minutes and opportunity and he’s been the main source of offense for the Thunder this year. Schröder was in the zone tonight and the Clippers had no answer for him from the inside and outside. When Dennis gets into a zone where the 3 pointers and midrange are working it’s tough to stop this team. The Thunder are now above .500 on the season as they’re 15-14 after beating the Clippers tonight.

The Thunder will look to get to 16 wins on Thursday as they have the Memphis Grizzlies and Morant coming back into town.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Career High 32 PTS Help OKC Beat Phoenix (126-108)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Career High 32 PTS Help OKC Beat Phoenix (126-108)

Featured

by | Dec 21, 2019 | Featured, NBA

The Oklahoma City Thunder has been labeled the “Comeback Kids” after the last couple of games. Tonight against the Phoenix Suns they made sure there wasn’t going to be a comeback needed. From the opening tipoff, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was attacking the rim with aggression. It was one of those nights that you could tell you were about to see something special. Shai was able to get the offense started as he was creating his jumper and was very crafty at the rim. The Thunder plays with a different type of swagger when Shai gets his offense going from the start of the game. The Phoenix Suns tried putting Devin Booker and Ricky Rubio on Shai throughout the night and it didn’t matter. Shai was 13/18 from the field on the evening and put this team on his back for a career-high 32 points. When Shai plays with this type of aggressiveness it opens up the floor for his teammates as well. The fact that Shai can beat you inside and outside has opposing teams confused on how to guard the second-year guard. The Suns had no answer for the Thunder tonight as OKC had 6 players in double figures. Shai has emerged as a player that teams have to gameplan for and just as much as the Suns tried he had an answer. Shai has patented his scoop layups and they have been something that teams can’t defend at all. The play of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had the Thunder in cruise control as they were able to throttle the Suns.

 

 

Another player that helped the Thunder get this victory was Danilo Gallinari as he finished with 22 points on the night. After the half, it seemed as though the in-game DJ kept playing the “Gallinari” theme music every couple of possessions. The 3rd quarter was owned by Gallinari as he came out the gate with 11 points. The Thunder in the past never had a clear cut sharpshooter outside of a star that you can depend on to knock down 3 pointers. This season Danilo Gallinari has been able to help the Thunder outshoot teams like they did the Suns tonight. The Phoenix Suns had no answer for the shooting of Gallinari and it seemed like the perimeter defense was nonexistent at times in this game. The NBA 6th Man of the Year award won’t be decided until June but it’s very clear to the Phoenix Suns and the NBA that Dennis Schröder is the front runner right now. Every time that Dennis Schröder comes into the game he’s been instant offense and tonight that was no different. Schröder finished the game with 24 points and was giving the Suns fits on the defensive side. This season and tonight Dennis has shown opposing defenses his whole bag of tricks from the floater to his flashy layups. The play of Dennis has helped this team to the 14-14 record that they have now. After tonights win the Thunder are finally at .500 on the season and will be looking to get above .500 against Paul George’s Clippers on Sunday.

 

 

The Phoenix Suns were flat out the gate in this game against OKC and it didn’t get better throughout the night. The Suns did get their star Devin Booker back from his forearm injury and it showed as he was a little rusty. On the night Devin Booker had 18 points as he usually gives the Thunder problems on the perimeter. Booker was one of the bright spots for the Suns who weren’t able to hit anything on second-chance opportunities on the night. The Suns have now lost 5 games in a row and tonight didn’t help with their morale at all. Ricky Rubio was also playing as good as he used too vs OKC when he was in Utah. Rubio finished with 24 points on the night to lead the Suns and it just wasn’t enough to get the job done against the Thunder tonight. The Suns had 5 players in double figures but it wasn’t enough to beat the OKC Thunder who have developed a nice home stretch.

Another Thunderous Comeback In OKC As The Thunder Beat Memphis (126-122)

Another Thunderous Comeback In OKC As The Thunder Beat Memphis (126-122)

Featured

by | Dec 19, 2019 | Featured, NBA

The OKC Thunder came into this game against the Memphis Grizzlies fresh off their 26 point comeback victory over Chicago. The Thunder showed a lot of heart to come back from 26 points on Monday. Tonight they started off slow again as the Memphis Grizzlies were pretty much unstoppable in the first half. Ja Morant was dominate in his first game against the OKC Thunder in his career and looked explosive. Morant was able to get it done inside and outside the paint. One thing that Morant was able to do against the Thunder in that first half he created for his teammates. Ja Morant was being guarded by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chris Paul, Dennis Schröder all night. It was very impressive that Ja Morant was still able to finish with 22 points on the night. The problem with that is the fact that OKC was able to shut him down in the 4th quarter as they held him to 0 points. The Memphis Grizzlies were led by Brandon Clarke who had a career-high 27 points on the night. Clarke was all over the rebounds and was able to make the Thunder pay in the second-chance points. Brandon Clarke was able to use his power and finesse against the Thunder. The first half the Grizzlies were able to beat OKC in the fast break game and it really did show. The Thunder were giving up way too many points in the paint as Memphis had 74 points down low. Memphis showed a lot of fight tonight as they were able to make some tough shots throughout the night. The Thunder won this game with the adjustments they made on Ja Morant in that 4th quarter and their offense.

 

 

Dennis Schröder was able to lead the charge for the Thunder tonight. It seemed as though the Thunder fed off the energy from Dennis and they made sure to keep giving him the rock. Dennis was able to carry the Thunder tonight just like CP3 did the other night. The Thunder dug themselves in another deep hole trailing the Memphis Grizzlies by 24 points at the start of the 3rd. This Thunder team must like adversity and being the comeback kids. This Thunder team scrapped and clawed themselves back into this game and showed that they can turn it on. Dennis led the way with 31 points off the bench as the Grizzlies had no answer for his first step to the basket. Dennis Schröder has been the ultimate leader and has let his offense do all the talking for him. The Grizzlies had no answer for Dennis and when his game got going that opened up things for his other teammates. Another player who was able to get his game back on track was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as he was attacking and was being aggressive in that 2nd half tonight. When Shai attacks like he did tonight this Thunder team can do no wrong because when he plays with that confidence the Thunder is scary. Shai was getting to the free-throw line and attacking as Dillion Brooks wasn’t able to stay in front of Shai. Shai and Chris Paul combined for 38 points on the night. Both of them with the addition of Dennis Schröder is not a sight that opposing defenses want to see and the Grizzlies learned that the hard way tonight when they lost their 24 point lead.

 

 

 

The OKC Thunder will be facing off against the Phoenix Suns on Friday as they look to get to .500 on the season. The Phoenix Suns will be waiting to see if Devin Booker will be joining them as they try to slow down the OKC Thunder on this home trip.
