Adidas is one of the biggest sportswear companies in the world and as you can imagine, they take their brand image quite seriously. With that being said, it stands to reason they wouldn’t want to be associated with bigotry and child exploitation.
Consequently, Adidas has already dropped Kanye West and the Yeezy brand from its roster. Following an anti-Semitic crusade from the likes of Ye, the three stripes brand decided to take action. Now, it appears as though they are doing the same thing with Balenciaga.

Adidas x Balenciaga Suspended
According to the likes of Sneaker Freaker on Instagram, the Adidas x Balenciaga Stan Smith has been suspended. One consumer was told that their pre-order for the shoe had been delayed. In the message, the brand confirmed that it suspended the collab with Balenciaga. Subsequently, they will be reevaluating what they want to do, moving forward.

At the time of writing this, it remains to be seen whether or not Adidas will reinstate the collaboration. However, if they do, then many will be upset, especially with how the Kanye relationship ended. Fans want to see some consistency, and Adidas has an opportunity to demonstrate that.
This remains a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world. Additionally, let us know what you think of this decision, in the comments down below.
Overall, it is one of the best Jumpman shoes ever made. From the unique overlay patterns to the Air Max midsole, this is a shoe that you can’t go wrong with. Additionally, this shoe has seen so many cool colorways over the years, and Jordan Brand won’t be stopping that trend, anytime soon.
Firstly, the shoe is covered in some white leather overlays. Secondly, we get grey on the toe box and the side panels. Moreover, this grey is then placed on the tongue, back heel tab, and even the midsole. This all contrasts with more white, making this your typical “Cool Grey” model.

Ja Morant has ascended to the upper echelon of the NBA as of late. He is easily one of the best players in the league right now. Consequently, the Memphis Grizzlies have a very bright future. In fact, they are currently at the top of the Western Conference standings, alongside the Denver Nuggets.
If you are a Grizzlies fan, there is no doubt that Morant is exciting to watch. Additionally, he has the potential to become the greatest player in the history of the franchise. If he were to bring them a championship, then he would certainly earn that designation.

Thanks to his efforts out on the court, Morant has earned himself a new signature shoe. According to rumors, this model is going to be called the Nike Ja 1 and it will only drop in 2023. Regardless, this is a huge accomplishment that will certainly be celebrated.
Subsequently, Morant has started to show off some of his upcoming Nike gear. For instance, the Grizzlies star was recently photographed while wearing some sweatpants that contained what appears to be his new logo. Below, you can see some up-close images of this insignia, including an isolated version of what it looks kike.
Logos are a great way for players to build up their brand. One can just look at the Jumpman logo to truly understand this. While Morant’s logo won’t be nearly as iconic, you can’t deny that he has a solid foundation for the future of his sneaker line.
We should have more details concerning Ja’s signature line soon, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world. Additionally, let us know what you think of the logo, in the comments down below.
Over the past few weeks, Jumpman has ramped up production of the Air Jordan 37. New colorways are currently in the midst of being teased, and fans are happy. The 37th Michael Jordan signature has proven to be a dope silhouette, with ties to the Air Jordan 7.
Consequently, you can imagine how the color schemes of the Jordan 37 have been tied in with its spiritual predecessor. Jumpman knows how to unlock some nostalgia, and that is exactly what they have done with this shoe. Overall, it has been fun to watch and the fun will continue in 2023.
Below, you can find the Air Jordan 37 “Cardinal.” If you are a sneakerhead, then you know that the “Cardinal” aesthetic is one that is synonymous with the Jordan 7. In fact, Jumpman even brought this colorway back in 2022, much to the delight of sneakerheads.
Firstly, this AJ37 version of the shoe features a mostly white knit upper. Additionally, the cuff and back heel contain some black and red highlights. Lastly, this black and red aesthetic also comes to the outsole. When you bring these elements together, you get a shoe that is hard to hate.

Overall, 90s nostalgia is all the rage right now, so you can expect these to be quite popular. The Jordan 37 is proving itself to be a more than capable basketball shoe, and more colorways are expected over the coming months. Hopefully, they continue to be as good as what we’ve seen so far.
Release Details
At the time of writing this, the shoe does not yet have a release date. However, you can stay tuned to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world. Additionally, let us know what you think of these, in the comments below.

Khloe Kardashian has worn some very nice sneakers over the years. Of course, the Kardashians have been blessed with some truly amazing shoes over the years. This is because of Kim’s marriage to Kanye where she got access to unlimited Yeezys.
Furthermore, Travis Scott has been able to deliver some gorgeous Jordan Brand shoes to the sisters. Overall, any sneakerheads would be jealous of this kind of sneaker-based bottomless pit. We can only imagine what sort of PEs they might have in their collections.

Khloe Kardashian The Influencer
According to TMZ, Remo from Walk Like Us says that Khloe’s recent fashion statement inspired some massive resale price increases. As you can see in the pictures above and below, Khloe wore a pair of Air Jordan 1s to Bronny’s recent basketball game against Kiyan Anthony. The colorway in question was the infamous “Dark Mocha” release.
Typically, women’s sizes of the Air Jordan 1 don’t go up significantly in price. However, this model is seeing a huge increase, with pairs going from $130 up to $600 USD. Khloe has caused a massive spike in interest for this model, and those who have been holding these are thanking her.

You can see that the “Dark Mocha” model was meant to be a consolation prize for those who couldn’t cop the Travis Scott’s. Ironically, that is the shoe Kim was wearing during the very same basketball game.
Let us know what you think of Khloe’s footwear choices, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.
Over the years, Jumpman has delivered some unique shoes, such as the Jordan Nu Retro 1 Low. These silhouettes came out during a time when Jumpman was leaving its iconic models behind. Instead, they wanted to focus on moving the brand forward.
However, fans quickly decided that they would much rather get vintage Air Jordan retros. As a result, shoes like the Nu Retro 1 were scrapped and put on the backburner. While this may be the case, there is no doubt that nostalgia has created an appetite for these sneakers again.
For instance, the Jordan Nu Retro 1 Low is back. In the images below, you can see how there is a lot going on here. There are elements of the Air Jordan 1 Low, while a huge Wings logo is placed on the sides. Overall, it is a unique look that is bolstered by a colorway that is a safe bet for the shoe’s triumphant return.
Firstly, this shoe immediately pops out with the “Royal Blue” aesthetics. This blue is placed on the toe box, back heel, outsole, and even the back heel. Moreover, the shoe has black overlays that extend throughout the silhouette and the tongue. Lastly, white is placed on the Wings overlay that adorns the side. This white is also found on the front portion of the midsole.

Of course, these are not for everyone and they never will be. There is a specific type of sneakerhead that these will appeal to, and that’s okay. With certain styles coming back into the forefront, perhaps these will get the shine they never received.
Release Details
For now, this sneaker does not have a release date, however, it is expected to drop next year. As always, be sure to let us know what you think of these kicks, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.

Just a few weeks back, we reported on the upcoming Undefeated x Air Jordan 37 collaboration. If you are familiar with Undefeated, you know that they have collaborated with Nike, Jumpman, and Adidas quite a bit. The Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 is an icon, and subsequently, Undefeated is looking to keep the partnership alive.
Overall, Undefeated is one of the most respected and well-known boutiques on the West Coast. That said, it should come as no surprise that Jordan Brand would continue this working relationship. Both of them know that fans love their collaborations, so consequently, more offerings just makes sense.

Undefeated x Air Jordan 37
Upon looking at the official images for this collaboration, it is pretty obvious that both sides are looking to replicate their Air Jordan 4. This is one of the rarest Jordans ever as it sells for over $30,000. However, you won’t expect the same rarity with this model.
Firstly, you can see how this shoe contains a white mesh upper with some khaki green poking out beneath. This green shade is then transplanted onto the various overlays. However, it is important to note that these tones have varying shades of darkness. From there, we have some white on the back heel midsole plate, and orange that goes onto the tongue and even the outsole.

If you are a sneakerhead who loves Undefeated, then you will have a ton of love for this latest colorway. Sure, it may not be for everyone, but there is some very cool history to be had here.

Over the last three years, fans have seen a lot from the Air Jordan 5. Back in 2020, this sneaker celebrated its 30th anniversary, which led to a whole lot of new offerings. Additionally, this sneaker got a bunch of retros. Overall, it was a huge celebration, and that celebration has continued throughout the 2020s.
Subsequently, Jordan Brand will be celebrating the 30th birthday of the Air Jordan 8. There are going to be numerous tributes to this shoe, and fans are looking forward to that. Interestingly enough, the Jordan 5 will be a part of this celebration as the shoe is getting an iconic Jordan 8 color scheme.
Of course, the color scheme in question is the “Aqua” model which you see before you. This is a model that truly defined the 80s, and it is lovely to see this on a shoe like the Jordan 5. As you can see below, Jordan Brand pulled the look off well.
Firstly, the shoe has your typical black suede base. This is then complemented by aqua blue and yellow aesthetics on the midsole. Furthermore, we get even more blue around the silver 3M tongue. Overall, it is another great adaptation by Jordan Brand.

If you are a fan of the 90s, then it is very hard to hate this show. Nostalgia will most definitely set in for you on these. Not to mention, regardless of the context, this is just yet another dope shoe. Hopefully, Jumpman can keep all of this momentum going.
Release Details
Originally, this shoe was going to come out on January 21st. Now, it is being slated for April 8th for a price of $200 USD. Let us know what you think of these, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sneaker world.

This year’s Michael Jordan signature is the Air Jordan 37. We are quickly approaching the 40th iteration of this shoe, and fans are excited about the future direction of the brand. For now, however, Jumpman has focused on silhouettes that honor the model from 30 years prior.
For example, the Jordan 37 is a take on the Air Jordan 7. Overall, this new shoe has done a great job of paying homage to its predecessor. That said, it can’t be denied that this shoe carves its own lane for itself. Jordan Brand has been giving it some dope colorways, including the following offering which harkens back to the 90s.
In the images down below, you can find the Air Jordan 37 “Bordeaux.” Of course, this is a reference to the Air Jordan 7 of the same name. Consequently, you would expect the colors to be extremely similar. As you can see from the official photos of this shoe, that assumption is not incorrect.
Firstly, this shoe begins with a grey mesh upper that is helped out by some black overlays. Just like the AJ7, this shoe has a very obvious geometric quality to it. That said, the burgundy, yellow, and blue highlights all fit in nicely throughout the tongue and the outsole.

Overall, this is the type of 90s revivalism that you would expect from Jordan Brand by now. It makes for a dope shoe, and we are sure that fans are going to love these. After all, the 90s are coming back in a big way.
Release Details
For those of you out there who want to get your hands on these, you will be able to do so as of Thursday, January 5th for $185 USD. As always, let us know what you think of these, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sneaker world.

Signature sneakers are easily some of the best ways for fans to feel like they are their favorite NBA star. Every single year, the biggest stars in the game come through with new offerings of their signature lines. Brands like Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, Puma, and more, all have signature athletes, which subsequently leads to some good old-fashioned sneaker wars.
Overall, Nike has largely dominated the signature shoe space over the years. However, it really seems like the other brands are catching up. More athletes are signing with Adidas and Puma than ever before, which has led to amazing competition.
2022 has been particularly great for signature sneakers, and with this list, we are counting down the 10 best releases of the entire year.
10. Nike PG 6 (Paul George)

Starting off our list is the Nike PG 6, courtesy of Paul George. Throughout the years, George has consistently had one of the best signature shoes. His latest offering is perhaps his wildest yet thanks to the unique midsole and tooling on the upper. Overall, this model lends itself to some cool colorways, and they will definitely make you flash on the court. While some may prefer his first couple of releases, there is now doubt that the PG 6 has its merits.
9. PUMA MB.01 (LaMelo Ball)

LaMelo Ball is one of the biggest and brightest young stars in the NBA. Consequently, Puma gave him his very own signature shoe, the Melo MB.01. The second variation is starting to make its way to the market, however, we prefer the first silhouette. This shoe comes complete with wings protruding from the cuff, as well as some Xs across the midsole. The shoe speaks to LaMelo’s personality and it is definitely one of the more unique signature sneakers on this list.
8. Jordan Luka 1 (Luka Doncic)

Next on the list is Luka Doncic with his first offering, the Jordan Luka 1. As a whole, this shoe is fairly basic in its construction. However, there are some unique elements here that lend themselves well to interesting colorways. The silhouette itself is sleak, and as far as signatures go, these are easily the least offensive on the market. Hopefully, Luka and Jumpman get just a bit more creative next time around.

Back in the day, Steph Curry’s signature sneakers with Under Armour used to get heavily roasted. Subsequently, UA went into the lab and fixed their formula. Now, Curry consistently has one of the best shoes in the league. With the Curry Flow 10, that trend certainly continues. As the name suggests, the silhouette flows incredibly well. Moreover, the upper’s construction is complex as interwoven mesh blends with the ridged midsole. If you love Curry, these are a must-own.
6. Adidas D.O.N. Issue #4 (Donovan Mitchell)

Donovan Mitchell will always get points from us for having the most unique-named signature sneakers on the market. Mitchell is a huge comic book fan, and he has backed up that love by giving each new shoe an Issue number. As it stands, Mitchell is on Issue #4 of his D.O.N. series. Above, you can see that this shoe is just an overall simple yet effective silhouette. Adidas is great at crafting performance-driven signatures, and this is yet another example of that.
5. Adidas Dame 8 (Damian Lillard)

Overall, Damian Lillard’s line of signature sneakers has been incredibly consistent. Every single year, Dame drops a dope shoe. This year, it has been the Adidas Dame 8. These kicks are packed with personality, and they showcase Lillard’s confidence. On the side of the shoe, “DAME” is written under some mesh, all while zig-zags complement the three stripes. It isn’t the flashiest shoe ever, however, it gets points for being yet another solid signature from the game’s most overlooked point guard.
4. Nike Zoom Freak 4 (Giannis Antetokounmpo)

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the best player in the entire NBA right now, and his signature shoe is fit for a king. His line has always been solid from the jump, and with the Zoom Freak 4, Nike has yet another hit on its hands. A chunky midsole, a backward swoosh, and unique colorways help this model stand out. If you liked the previous three models, you will definitely love this one too. For those of you out there who hoop, you know these are great to play in. Giannis has a great eye for performance, and this signature certainly deserves its top 5 ranking.

When it comes to signature sneakers, it feels like Kevin Durant has always succeeded in the performance department. Furthermore, his shoes always look great…which definitely helps. If you go to any college or high school basketball game, you will notice that many players are wearing the Nike KD 15. That’s because even schools know these shoes are workhorses. They hold up well on the court, and there are enough amazing colorways out there to make you stand out. KD is always a staple of these lists, and the KD 15 cemented that trend further.
2. Jordan Zion 2 (Zion Williamson)

Zion Williamson never even got to wear the Jordan Zion 1. Thankfully, Zion is back on the court, and he is proudly wearing the Jordan Zion 2, in the process. Williamson is a large player which means he needs a large shoe that can withstand his power. As you can see, this shoe takes on aesthetics from the early 2000s, when big men like Shaq were dominating the game. The strap on the toe, the reinforced upper, and the chunky midsole all come together to form one of the best releases of the year. While these might not be for everyone, there is no doubt that Jordan Brand snapped with these. Over the course of the season, we can’t wait to see Zion wear more colorways.
1. Nike LeBron 20 (LeBron James)

Putting LeBron James at the top of a signature sneakers list seems a little on the nose. Over the past few years, most people would scoff at LeBron ever topping one of these lists again. However, the Nike LeBron 20 has certainly captured the attention of fans. With this model, LeBron is going back to the early days of his line with a more low-top silhouette. Even his peers like Kevin Durant have praised these. From the two-swoosh concept to the graphics that adorn the midsole underneath the toe box, these are simply stunning. More colorways are to come, and there is no doubt that this is a must-own shoe. Props to LeBron and Nike for an incredible return to form.
Let us know which of these signature shoes is your favorite, in the comments down below.
