It’s a new month and although it’d be easy to think the shoe game would be gearing down a few notches, that’s not the case. Our man Rich “MaZe” Lopez from KixAndTheCity.com lets you know what will be hitting your local stores during the month of May.↵

↵↵I’ve definitely got my eye on you, adidas. Dropping in some of those old Kobe Bryant kicks under a different name. Oh, those sly devils wearing three stripes. The new T-Mac’s aren’t a bad look either. I like that after all these years, someone has thought to finally move the stripes around. If you’ve been paying attention you’ve noticed some of these new looks not only with Tracy McGrady, but Dwight Howard and other adidas athletes in the playoffs.↵

↵↵And just to add to some of the illustrious footwear MaZe mentions in this month’s episode, don’t forget to check for LeBron James’ newest shoe, the Zoom Soldier II, which he’s been rocking in various colorways throughout the series against the Wizards.↵
