Stop whatever you’re doing.
Now. Go outside. Play ball.

Steal of the Night
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!

Soup of the Day: Blackboard Bomber Jacket
The limited edition Blackboard Bomber Jacket by Bill McMullen for K1X is out now at colette (Paris), Sneakersnstuff (Stockholm) and a fistful of other fine retailers including www.k1x.com/shop.

THE BLACKBOARD PACK by Bill McMullen for K1X
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!

PV goes vertical
The guys over at Project Vertical hit us with a sick video of their latest dunking session recently. Watch Jordan Kilganon (6’1″), Tyler “Jukebox” Ray (5’11″) and Giulio Mazzella (6’4″) go at it. Canada certainly got some hops!

Back By Popular Demand: K1X In Paris Tee
When this tee released in a white/black color way a couple of weeks ago, it was an instant sellout. Since the In Paris Tee was gone quicker than Roadrunner in his prime, we brought it back, donning a black/white color way this time. The shirt is available now at Kickz.com and other fine retailers but you’ll have to act fast.

Spotted: Termanology
Check out what Lawrence bred Termanology has to say on MTV News about his new mixtape “Hood Politics VII”.
Termanology is wearing the K1X Straight Up Crewneck, which is available now at www.k1x.com/shop.
Special Edition: K1X Anti-Gravity Hummingbird Edition
This special release of the K1X Anti-Gravity is made out of 100% colibri foreskin leather which is by far the softest leather there is. However, it is extremely rare and difficult to obtain in the big pieces needed for the shoe manufacturing process. The special construction of the K1X Anti-Gravity (made out of 18 small pieces) made the construction of this highly limited edition even possible. This is an industry’s first: No other shoe has ever been made from this most expensive leather on the market.
K1X would like to express its gratitude to the “Vogelhaus” and its team at the Munich Zoo, Hellabrunn. Without their help and technical know-how, this project would not have been possible.
The Hummingbird edition of the K1X Anti-Gravity is extremely limited. Only twelve pairs were produced (sizes 8 thru 14). Since a high demand is expected, the Anti-Gravity Hummingbird will not be released through the K1X online store but via email on a “first-come-first-served” basis. Email your size request to info@k1x.com.
