Nike Air Max 1 Bespoke "Golden State" by Andre Iguodala

Andre Iguodala and the Golden State Warriors are just a handful of games away from making NBA history, and if you're looking for a good way to honor the team's historic season, these Nike Air Max 1 Bespokes are perfect.

These "Golden State" Air Max 1 Bespokes were designed by Iguodala and Marcus Troy, who previously put their heads together for an Air Force 1 Bespoke. Here, they focus on on a Warriors-inspired palette that's accentuated by a reflective 3M royal blue upper. Elsewhere, hits of yellow are subtle yet striking, and Iguodala's logo badge is embroidered at the heel.

Iguodala and Troy have been tight-lipped on exactly how the sneakers will be released, but they recommend following @andre on Instagram for updates. If you're a Warriors fan, it's probably a good idea to go ahead and turn on those post notifications, too. via ComplexMag.com

Unreleased Air Jordan 7 "Orlando Magic"

In 2009, Jordan Brand remembered Michael Jordan’s 64-point game against the Orlando Magic by releasing the Air Jordan 7 Retro “Defining Moments” Pack, which featured the OG “True Red” aka “Raptors” colorway in tandem with a new “Orlando” version of the shoe. There was a scrapped samples of the Orlando pair which is pictured here; it features a Magic-esque mix of white, black, and royal blue, but the detail that makes this sample stand out in history is the dope pin-striping on the upper – an homage to the Orlando Magic jerseys of 1993. Of course this version never made it past the cutting room floor, but the release of the Air Jordan 7 DMP was unusual as well because the Bulls didn’t even win that game (Orlando beat Chicago behind a Shaq’s 29 points and 24 boards). Refresh your memory here and if you’re a sample hoarder, peep the listing on eBay. via SneakerNews.com
