Normally I wouldn’t give anything associated with Kobe any shine (Celtics pride), but seeing as this pair of his signature shoes are dedicated to the greatest place on Earth I’ll have to make an exception.

Do these look more than a little like Converse’s take on the low-top lace-up canvas sneaker? Of course they do. But WTAPS brings in some subtle branding for their own take on the summer classic. Fresh for the Spring/Summer 2013 season, the low-tops are constructed of a sturdy but breezy canvas upper with color-matching toe [...]

Many find the Jumpman23 logo to be garish, and ruin an otherwise good pair of shoes — count us among [...]
Japanese shoemaker SASQUATCHFABRIX present the latest colorway of their Ghillie Wingtip Brogues. The low top leather wingtips are fashioned in black and white thick premium leather, incorporating the namesake Ghillie-style ivory lace up closure with leather tasseled tips in black. The highly decorative brogues also feature perforation and serrated edges throughout, with a tonal leather [...]
