Welcome to the first issue of our kicks newsletter, where we give you the run down on sneaker culture. We'll be hitting your inbox twice a week and might even give away some kicks 👀

Chet Balled Out In KD15s

The NBA Summer League is underway, and while hoop fans around the world want to see how the new wave of prodigies look in their team's colors, our eyes go straight to the kicks 👟

• Chet balled out in the KD15s in his first game in Vegas. The kicks are out now and go for $150, are these Nike's dopest hoop shoes of the summer?

• KD x Chet: both of these unicorns were drafted #2 overall, and now Holmgren is also rocking #7!? I wonder who he's modeling his game after 😮‍💨

We're just one week into Chet's NBA career, and people's stances have quickly flipped. Touted a potential bust by several NBA insiders, he's now getting love from Durant himself...

Sports bettors are noticing too, as his ROTY odds have moved from +500 to +375, right behind the favorite, Paolo Banchero. Last note - I got to hoop in the new KD15s, peep my thoughts 🐰

LeBron's New Kicks

LeBron was working out with NBA trainer Chris Brickley last week at his gym in NYC. After a few posts on IG, we noticed the pink low-top Nikes that appear to be the new LeBron 20s 👇

• These kicks look fresh, but they definitely have some similarities to the Kobe 4s. Was it intentional? Who knows

• Plus, the new LeBron's feature an extended swoosh that hangs off the back heal tab, similar to what we've seen with the Ambush Air Jordan 1s. Seems like Bron is getting some inspiration from two of the most iconic hoopers to ever do it 🐐

Big shoutout to Chris Brickley too, that man never stops working. Since his workout with LeBron two weeks ago, he's trained basically the entire league 🏀

• Cole Anthony, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Porter Jr., Kysre Gondrezick, Kiyan Anthony, CJ McCollum, Paolo Banchero, Chuma Okeke, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Donovan Mitchell. Respect the roster 🙏

MSCHF Super Natural

MSCHF definitely isn't shy with making statement shoes - remember the Lil Nas X "Satan Shoes", or the $76K "Birkinstock"? If not, you've definitely seen their most recent viral shoe, the Wavy Baby in collaboration with Tyga 🎤

• Back in April, Vans filled a lawsuit against MSCHF, claiming that the Wavy Baby design blatantly copied its Old Skool silhouette. MSCHF was ordered to stop fulfilling orders, even though the shoe sold out in just an hour

• Obviously they didn't listen, because in May, Vans said they had evidence of multiple orders being shipped to buyers 🤷‍♂️

Fast forward to today, and MSCHF is once again walking the line with their new Super Normal shoe. The design definitely bears some resemblance to Nike's Air Force 1s, but so far it seems like there's been no consequences

Regardless, these are super fresh and should easily crack your summer whites rotation 🕶. Peep the full breakdown 👇
