Kicks On Court: Venice Beach Edition

794 days ago - by George Kiel III - 23 comments

As part of the Zoom Kobe V Unveiling, Nike stopped us by a historical place in California in the form of Venice Beach. If you recall, this is the very place the classic movie White Men Can’t Jump was shot. Therefore, where was Billy Hoyle and Sidney Deane in their Command Forces and Flight Lite Highs? While we didn’t see them nor their shoes, we have created a Kicks On Court: Venice Beach edition for you.

As within many gyms these days, Kobe and Lebron’s sneakers were ever so present on the courts. One would assume that their would be way more Kobe sneakers on the court than LeBrons seeing that we’re in California, right? Wrong. There were many different LeBron VII’s on the on the court, while the Kobe IV gradient colorway was a constant on Venice Beach’s ‘A’ court. Click here to see detailed shots of the local hoopers at Venice Beach.

In case you missed it, check out our Sneaker Shots: “White Men Can’t Jump”.

I hoop at Venice Beach and I’ve neva saw so many people with fresh kicks to play outside. Somethin was up today….maybe they were given those kicks just for the event so Venice wouldnt look bad. and it just so happens that everybody had the same kicks….yea right.

This was staged. Chinese Lebron VII? (white/gold) More than a game Lebron VII? They’re not gonna be hoopin on venice beach in those. You wouldnt go wait in line at hoh for the more than a game lebrons and go to hoop in them. Just not happening….

Dudes need to realise that this was a staged Nike event to promote the Kobe V, all the people at this event either work for Nike or are in the Sneak media industry.
These people get all the kicks they want for either free or cheap and dont have to queue up to get exclusives, they don’t give a rats ass if a dope pair of kicks get wrecked on one wear at venice beach.
Ya’ll need to start reading the posts and not just looking at the pics, SMH

Man, some of you guys posting are pathetic, especially “sheinzy”.
So what if it’s a Nike sponsored event? All but maybe one of those shoes are “exclusive”; most are GR’s.
OH, and anyone who says they “wouldn’t wear those kicks outside” is a joke –
KICKS ARE MEANT FOR WEARING & BALLING.
E-MAN
lol i think i see a missed dunk
Sheinzy
HA I don’t think that igotthatfire247 even read my post properly if he is saying I’m pathetic, my whole point is that why would people care bout wearing kicks out doors or not when they get em for free?????
I wear my kicks indoors, outdoors and everywhere I am, I don’t care if they get beat up Sneaks are made to be worn not kept in boxes.
Oh and by the way saying “All but maybe one of those shoes are ?exclusive?; most are GR?s. ” makes absolutely no sense your contridicting yourself dude LMAO
MJSF
