The OKC Thunder have the biggest feet in the League. Conversely, the San Antonio Spurs have the smallest feet. Marcin Gortats Nike Hyperdunk Supremes (size 16) were once Grant Hills. When Hill left for the Clippers, he gave his game-worn sneakers to the Polish Hammer and, naturally, Gortat now wears them every game. The Nike Hyperdunk is the most popular sneaker in the NBA; 90 players, or roughly 21 percent of the NBA, wear them. The Nike Hyperfuse is the second most popular sneaker in the NBA; 46 players, or roughly 11 percent of the NBA, wear them.

Certain newly released shoes nearly double in price within several hours. And, often, value dramatically appreciates within a few years. At Flight Club NY , the famous sneaker consignment store, at least 31 types of sneakers are fetching source four-figure prices (and they are all Nike). The boom--and the soaring prices accompanying it--hit within the last five years. And thanks to the precise record-keeping of the folks at Flight Club, who maintain a historical price database, we can come close to marking the moment the boom rocked the sneaker world: early 2011. See Also: The Sneaker Boom: As rare shoes soar in price, seventh-graders make like Wall Street traders Air Jordans are easiest for tracking the movement of shoe prices: They are always cool, and so less vulnerable to hype-of-the-moment price spikes; Nike re-releases popular versions that first came out in Michael Jordan's heyday, which means there's always a fresh pair of the highly desirable designs; and the hottest ones have been on the market for up to a decade, ensuring a bigger sample size. In "The Sneaker Boom," we describe sneaker blog mogul Yu Ming-Wu's attempts to sell his Air Jordan IV Lightnings in 2009.

Other seals scatter in fear, females howl in search of missing pups, and more often than not many are crushed to death in the mayhem. In the ebb and flow of these macro-sized microcosms, it is difficult not to draw analogies to our own society. Sneakers appear to have snuck in. One needs only to look to the headlines from Boston, Newtown, Santa Cruz, Aurora, Washington DC and more. However, unlike the natural order, what was once a disruptive problem child has grown into an unnatural force.

Later this month, itll continue with the Reebok Question Mid #1 Draft Pick.

The two founded Purple Unicorn Planet , a website featuring Nike kicks that are only made for men (but should be made for women, too). According to the site: "All the best Nike http://www.nikefreeonlineshophessen.com trainers, the good ones ... don't come in women's small sizes." And they're asking, or rather, hashtagging, Nike to #PleaseJustDoIt via Twitter. "It's important to state that this is by no means an attack on Nike," Riis said.

Her body was brought to shore after a roughly 45-minute search by boat and helicopter. An officer with the Shelter Cove Volunteer Fire Department told the Eureka Times-Standard the woman's boyfriend avoided being swept away by climbing on top of a rock. "The ocean today was extremely hazardous," Duty Officer Cheryl Antony said Sunday. "The waves were about 10 to 15 feet. It was very, very hazardous for them to be out there." So-called sneaker waves, the kind that suddenly roar ashore, have washed four people into the region's waters this winter. A man and his wife were walking on the beach near Point Reyes on New Year's Day when a wave overtook their dog. The couple went into the water to rescue the dog and the man was swept away.

$180 for a pair of sneakers is not that bad. In fact, there are a lot of people out there who actually want to spend $180 (or more!) on new Air Jordans every other week and cant do it because of limited supplies. So the fact that the new adidas Springblade sneaker costs $180 isnt exactly shocking news. Sneakers like the Springblade that feature new technology routinely sell for $180 and up in stores. So we cant say that were surprised to see them going for that much. But are they really worth the price? adidas thinks so, which is why they have one of their most well known athletes Robert Griffin III riding for the Springblade.

Nostalgia certainly plays a role. If you bought Air Jordans when you were 13 or 14, it was probably a big moment in your life, says Sneaker Cons Alan Vinogradov. People remember that feeling, and they want to revisit it. This goes way beyond the great story of Michael Jordan. The thrill of the hunt is undeniable as well, as collectors seek rare, unusual and highly prized sneakers to fill out their meticulously organized closets. If all of these shoes were accessible and easy to get, that would take the fun out of it, says Vinogradov, who has traveled to Europe, among other places, in pursuit of sneakers.

After out growing night clubs, and concert halls in a only short number of years, the H-Town Sneaker Summit began to make history. In January 2011 The H-Town Sneaker Summit became the first ever sneaker and fashion event to be held in a professional sports arena, the Toyota Center, also known as the home of the Houston Rockets NBA Franchise. The following year in 2012 the H-Town Sneaker Summit moved to the more spacious Reliant Park, also known as home of the 2012-2013 NFL AFC South Back To Back Champions, the Houston Texans. Most recently in 2013 The H-Town Sneaker Summit held their ninth annual winter event during the most celebrated weekend in footwear, NBA All Star weekend. Shortly afterward Complex named the H-Town Sneaker Summit as one of 50 Moments That Changed Sneaker Culture Forever. And now they are back.
