After joining forces in February, Fayetteville rapper J.Cole and legendary sneaker brand PUMA are poised to release the rapper’s debut basketball sneaker. Entitled the RS-Dreamer, the silhouette is testament to perseverance and hard work. First spotted in a more muted black and white colorway during the 2020 NBA All-Star weekend, the Dreamville MC’s kicks have since been spotted on PUMA hoopers like Danny Green and Kyle Kuzma in the NBA bubble. Since PUMA’s return to basketball courts, PUMA has been snatching up stars left and right and with the RS-Dreamer PUMA has completely revitalized their basketball line.

Design-wise, the silhouette sports a low-profile cut with a mesh upper construction. Hints of suede pop on the forefoot and near the ankle. Exposed stitching on the midfoot connects to a cord lacing system that wraps around the heel held down by a series of reflective loops. Reflective hints also appear on the heel tab and near the suede forefoot overlay. Though the reflective portions themselves are enough to turn heads, the RS foam midsole is the real draw, the colorful and curved midsole features textured portions and splashes of yellow, red, purple, and mint. Cole’s Dreamer logo appears on the heel to finish off this new silhouette.

The PUMA RS-Dreamer launches on 7/31 for $125. Catch it on puma.com

This bright-hued results in perfectly encapsulate the spirit of Naija: audacious, fast, fun, and stylish.

The Nike Zoom Freak 2 is said to further unlocker Giannis’ unstoppable Euro-step, with an outsole built specifically for that move while still maintaining compatibility for all positions of all sizes. The key to unlocking this lethal move was to analysis of Giannis’ and understand the physics. It was revealed that he drives off the forefoot and lands on his heels in unorthodox ways. With that knowledge, the decision was made to decouple the outsole – or separate into two pieces – while a supportive shank in the midsole keeps him grounded. A reinforced outrigger by the pinky toe further protects Antetokounmpo’s feet when he lands. The outrigger also fortifies the high-wear area for lasting durability.

Officially launches on July 25th in the “Naija” colorway on Nike SNKRS, Nike.com, and the retailers worldwide at a price tag of $130 USD.
