The Iceman Nike Blazers Releasing at House of Hoops

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

IMPORTANT UPDATE, BLAZER SHIPMENTS ARE DELAYED AND THE ICEMAN RELEASE DATE IS NOW TBD.

With the Blazer becoming more and more popular with every drop, it’s now getting the ultra-limited treatment with this upcoming House of Hoops exclusive. This George The Iceman Gervin edition, created to honor the ABA and NBA legend, hits soon at Harlem’s HoH.

Nike’s first basketball silhouette is the perfect canvas to pay tribute to The Iceman, who actually played in the shoe during its original release. Gervin not only had the stats to end up in the NBA Hall of Fame, but the intangibles like a smooth, graceful and effortless style and trademark finger-roll that remain legendary in their own right. In a colorway reminiscent of team Gervin spent the majority of his career with, the San Antonio Spurs, these metallic silver Blazers will be limited to a mere 24 pairs.

Nike CB 34 Exclusive Colorway House of Hoops 9/20 60 Pairs

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

There may never be a force quite like Charles Barkley again in the  NBA - able to explode through traffic like a guard, yet dominate the paint like a big man, all the while a few inches shorter than everyone else at his position. Once the Chuckster had intimidated nearly every imaginable opponent he faced, he even went on to greater challenges,like his mythic battles with Godzilla. To help celebrate Barkley’s resounding success during his Round Mound of Rebound days, Nike has put together a new Black/Orange Blaze/Purple colorway of the CB34 that will exclusively release at Harlem’s House Of Hoops location. Dropping on September 20th, and limited to 60 pairs, this colorway goes perfectly with any Phoenix Suns gear, tying back to the city that Charles has called home ever since his retirement.

Sharkley in DC

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

The hottest shoe of the year in my opinion is the Sharkley. It is flying off the shelves and out of our stores like fast-food. The Sharkley is solid basketball shoe, plus has style. The shoe has a bit of the Barkley and the Jordan along w/the Rodman all put together. Customers come to buy the shoe for fashion reasons and use on the court.around here in the DC and Maryland area like the shoe because of the variety of colors. The price point is reasonable, so that even makes it hotter. Every color that we have SELLS, I sold 5 pair today when I was at work by myself. You better get yours now or you will miss out!!!!!!
