This weekend was great for the city of Houston, the NBA, and for sneakerheads around the world. The reason being, the 2013 NBA All-Star festivities. This years mid-season exhibition and skills events brought us a ton of great footwear designs from adidas, Reebok, Jordan Brand, and Nike. Included in the bunch were a few standouts with the first being the illusive "Galaxy/Extraterrestrial" Nike Air Max Hyperposite worn by LaMarcus Aldridge of the Portland Trail Blazers, the second being the volt/black Jordan Super.Fly 2 worn by the Los Angeles Clippers Blake Griffin, and the third being the "Why Not?" Air Jordan XX8 worn by the Oklahoma City Thunder's Russell Westbrook. To see the sneakers just mentioned check out  The 25 Best Sneakers of the 2013 NBA All-Star Weekend.

Tony Finau wants to change the game of golf, from how it looks to who plays it. In this episode, the PGA Tour pro talks about his deal with Nike, golfing with Michael Jordan, and how that infamous ankle roll changed his approach to sneakers. Finau even teases some early heat in the form of the “Reverse Grinch” Nike Kobe 6. Elsewhere in the episode, cohosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss some 2024 sneaker leaks including a Stash x Nike Air Max 95, a Corteiz x Nike Air Trainer Huarache, and the possible return of a classic Patta x Nike Air Max 1. This episode was recorded at ComplexCon a few weeks back, meaning some of the conversation is a little dated, but the show will be back on schedule next week.Tony Finau wants to change the game of golf, from how it looks to who plays it.
