For a week seemingly dominated by Legend Blue 11 headlines, the Nike Kobe was the real star of the last seven days. It started with the Mamba Moment iD Quickstrike release, which gave props to the Lakers star for surpassing MJ on the all-time scoring list, and ended with the official unveiling of the What The Kobe 9 Elite, which drops on 1/10. But this week wasn’t all Kobe, because we caught first looks at new LeBrons, Retro Jordans, and more, so check out this week’s Top Stories below and stay tuned for more as we close out 2014.
