Lightweight bomber jacket for heavy-weight impact. Feat. split-colored arms and the iconic K1X Barcelona logo-application. Navy blue/flame/orange. So mean it makes medicine sick… Get yours at KICKZ.com, Snipes and other fine basketball retailers!
Who forgot the golden rule – never fall asleep on a field trip!
99 units only – exclusively produced by K1X for the notorious SMILE festival (x Stock 5 x Sweetest Pain) coming up at Bob Beaman Music Club in Munich this August… ! You gotta know someone who knows someone…
This reversible mesh jersey reps K1X alongside the very best in the business (of basketball). These tops are moving quicker than Pip on the break, so you may wanna act quickly. The reversed side comes at you in flame orange and features the “Nation of Hoop” in handwriting. Get yours at KICKZ.com, Snipes and other [...]
This one is tricky, because the movie has (almost) become iconic with time. How can you hate on a walkman-wearing, air-guitar-playing wolf, who would later go on to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Michael J. Fox’ on-court stunt-double has game but should have been included in the editing too. Watch our favorite wtf-moment in this short [...]
This one is pretty easy to sum up. Great movie – dope cinematography – corny basketball. Edward Norton is a great actor but his game looks awkward, like he took some last minute lessons to prep for this role. “Derek Vinyard’s” game winning dunk at Venice Beach is about as realistic as a skinhead ballplayer. [...]
A lot of hoops in this one. The most memorable scene is surely the final game of the St. Vitus Cardinals in which a young (and super skinny) Leo Di Caprio and his sidekick Marky Mark take the court high as kites. The results are airball-free-throws, ridiculous turnovers and non-stop vertigo. If you haven’t seen [...]
Maybe the funniest basketball movie scene ever. Ben Stiller’s overconfident buddy (Seymour Hoffmann) clanks every throw hard off the backboard and continues to feel like the man. Everyone of us knows at least one of those dudes. Or how Stiller has to guard the sweaty hairy fat guy with goggles and gets his mouth rubbed [...]
Another Africa is a platform focussed on the inspirational side of the continent not the negativity that is portrayed all to often. Therefore they shed some light on projects that emphasize creativity and dialogue of cultures, like the *folorunsho x K1X “Batik DCAC” collaboration with the Lion Base crew from Freetown, Sierra Leone. We truly [...]
The inaugural “K1X Park Authority” tournament was held two weeks ago at our notorious home-court, dubbed “Pina” in Munich’s (Germany) museum district. Ten teams made up of local ballers, heads and influencers took it to each other under the blazing sun. BobMoses All-Stars, Kickz.com, Nike, Distorted People, Goodbois, Massman Park, K1X, Anderer Crew, H.E.A.R.T. & [...]
These guys can’t play a lick. But you gotta respect the fact that Jack Nicholson and co. kept it real by not even pretending to have any sort of game. That in itself makes this b-ball scene genuinely good. Nothing worse than a fake alley-oop by a midget movie star. MVP: “Chief” Stay tuned for [...]
Germany’s Reality Check 2012 is in the books. Germany’s premier streetball competition has once again crowned a new champion, the Kingz of Congo. We have gathered the very best pictures of two action-packed days of fierce streetball competition after the jump and in an exclusive Facebook gallery!

It was a blast! Thanks to Stephane, Pigalle, Nike and the entire PXA crew for a great time. Love & Basketball!
