Our man Smoove obviously has a new hobby. Besides being one of the world’s most spectacular high-flyers, dude is collecting checks. Those big, cardboard type checks, you know? Most recently he won the slam dunk contest in St. Petersburg. Congrats!
Watch video highlights from the contest here:
The Sprite Slam dunk contest up in Chicago looks to be a good one. With Kasper, Jukebox, Porter Maberry and Guy Dupuy in the building, we are set to see some highflighing action. Speaking of which, Tyler Ray has been on his grind lately.
This past weekend, our man Smoove took home the hardware in what turned out to be a loaded dunking competition in Moscow, closely beating out our friends Justin Darlington and Slash. Great show fellas!
Smoove is wearing our cyan-colored Anti-Gravity and K1X Micro Mesh Shorts. Check the video below, starting at 1:05.

KD and the gang finally got ousted by Memphis last night (Zebooooo!!!!), but we’re still really psyched about this one… After all, it’s not every day that the NBA’s leading-playoff-scorer reps your product. Check out Durantula sporting our “Down with OKC” snapback cap.
Thanks and high-5′s to our buddy Carl (right) for making this happen!
It’s one of the best traditions in basketball. Our boys from Urspring Academy made sure they got their ultimate trophy after winning the national NBBL championship in Germany on Sunday night.
U 1 L!
Last night, our boys from the Urspring Academy beat out the home team Breitengüßbach (83:71) to win their 5th (!!!!!) NBBL championship. High-5s to Ralph Junge and Michael Spöcker for underlying their status as the premier youth program in Germany. SAUBER BURSCH’N!!!
This young highflyer from Project Vertical has been turning some heads in the dunking scene for quite a while now. His newest clip is yet another proof that, at his young age, Jordan is only getting started. Weclome to the fam’, Jordan!
Jordan is wearing the K1X Anti-Gravity and our Roll Up Practice Short.
Alejandro has taken the first stop of this year’s Red Bull King of the Rock tour in Teneriffe, Spain. We have a feeling that we haven’t seen the last of this guys.
Alejandro is wearing our Double Impact Wifebeater and League Shorts. Check out the highlight reel after the jump.

Our latest mini-series features 3 snapback caps and 3 all-over printed cotton tank tops, which pay homage to 3 basketball hotbeds: Brooklyn, Miami and New York.
The Brooklyn combo is all black/white everything – of course! The tank top reps a vintage Brooklyn street-map, which also adorns the cap’s under-brim. # 8 – “Brooklyn’s in the house”!
The Miami series features a floral print for a full-on South Beach vibe. As well as a message from #6: “Hi Haters”! Em-Vee-Pee, Em-Vee-Pee, Em-Vee-Pee…
“New Motherfuckin’ York” is the mecca of basketball as well as hip hop, which is why this set is highlighted by an old-school boombox print. Shout-out to our K1X warrior James White (#4)!

Now. Go outside. Play ball.
Our man James White came up with the Steal of the Night and one mighty-fine ball fake in New York’s win over the Hawks last night. And he threw in a career-high 20 points and 6 boards for good measure. Get that guy some PT!
The iconic artwork for this mini-collection (which features a t-shirt, hoody, crewneck, satin bomber jacket and a New Era snapback cap) was created by NY-based graphic designer Bill McMullen (also see his legendary album covers for Def Jam!), who also collaborated with K1X in the creation of the infamous 4-E basketball series.
The “Blackboard” is half black power fist, half basketball backboard. A critical reference to the correlation between the African American struggle for political equality – and today’s (professional) basketball culture. Or… just a really dope design, that symbolizes the mighty power of basketball. Nation of Hoop represent!
Launching this week at the finest retailers only, including Colette (Paris), Sneakersnstuff (Stockholm) and the all new www.k1x.com/shop!
The Nation of Hoop was in the building to witness a dominant performance of FC Bayern Munich against Hagen in the Beko BBL this Saturday. Man of the match? Tyrese Rice with 30 big points and 6 assists, who was spotted after the game wearing our brand new Blackboard Hoody.
