Nike Barkley Posite Max “Purple/Orange”

Teddy 'Roo — Fri, 17 May 2013 20:43:12 +0000

It seems as if each new release of the Nike Barkley Posite Max brings something brand new to the table that previous releases haven’t included. The court purple/team orange Barkley Posite Max, slated for release on Saturday, May 18, is no different. This release sports a purple nubuck “Hyperfuse” section of the shoe which leads into a reptilian patterned Foampsoite wrapping. Orange accents, coupled with a dominating purple, can be found in the shoe’s “teeth” midsole and in other branding around the tongue and heel. Does this colorway remind you of a certain basketball team? As has become common for the Barkley Posites, glow in the dark is factored into the shoe’s outsole and a speckled glow in the dark Air bubble in the heel rounds out the release.

The Nike Barkley Posite Max “Purple/Orange” drops on Saturday at Foot Locker, House of Hoops by Foot Locker, and online at Footlocker.com (starting at 8am EST) for $235. Check the Launch Locator here to see which stores are getting this release.

Teddy 'Roo — Thu, 09 May 2013 18:58:55 +0000

Chris Paul’s signature shoe will drop for a second consecutive year in the Jekyll & Hyde colorway, this time on his newest silhouette, the Jordan CP3.VI AE. The Jekyll & Hyde releases, named after the fictional split personality of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is actually two separate pairs of shoes in exact opposite colorways. The contrast between the two shoes represents the difference between Paul’s on-court and off-court personalities. Using bright crimson, violet, and electric green in opposite ways, these two releases unmistakably go together. One is dominated by a bright crimson and black upper while the other uses the bright colors for accenting and sports a wolf and dark grey upper.

The Jordan CP3.VI AE “Jekyll & Hyde” Pack release on Saturday, May 11 at select House of Hoops by Foot Locker stores and online at Footlocker.com. Each pair retails for $125. Check the Launch Locator here to see which stores are getting them.
