Introducing the “Freshmen Swagger” Pack
Twenty years ago, basketball changed forever. Never before had hip hop culture left such an obvious footprint in the clean and wholesome world of college sports. It was a display of unbridled confidence and an aggressive in-your-face attitude. The extra baggy shorts, the black socks and bald heads. More trash than Middle America could take. You either loved these guys – or hated them. As you may guess, K1X (est. in 1993) loved them for personifying “swagger” to perfection. And K1X was very much inspired by this early blend of basketball and hip hop, a mixture which remains a main ingredient of most K1X designs to this day. The “Freshmen Swagger” pack is out now!

Road to the Association – Part 4
In this episode, our guest writer and aspiring pro baller Brian Kortovich talks about the lockout, balling with New York Knicks’ star Carmelo Anthony and a new campaign designed to get him in the League sooner rather than later. It’s called GiveBKaShot.com and you should definitely check it out!
Hello again K1X Nation!
You know, for all of the reasons that the lockout is a drag, there is one benefit – pick-up run in the city has never been better. Just the other day I played ball with Carmelo Anthony out here in NYC at Chelsea Piers, thought I’d give you a bit of play by play on how the newest Knick is staying in shape, and how I managed to hold my own in his company…
Let legendary Rucker Park announcer Hannibal da Most Electrifying tell you why Brian is called “Smokin’ Aces” and enjoy the rest of the blog post after the jump!
