Whether you’re on a boat or on a skateboard, the Vans OTW Cobern 2 has you covered. Brown leather and navy accents bring casual class, while a vulcanized sole provides grip on any deck. These are available now at select Vans OTW accounts.

Supple black leather gives way to soft charcoal wool on the Vans OTW Stovepipe. A white sole adds skate appeal, while lack of lining keeps it casual. The Fiasco favorite is available now at select Vans OTW accounts.

Check out what our crew picked in our weekly Nicks Kicks Staff Picks column and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

How long until the early 2000s get love like the mid 90s? By most accounts it’ll be a while, but I’m ready now. The adidas T-MAC 1 “All-Star” takes me back to a flashier time, when streetball moves were a commodity at summer basketball camp and in vogue. Can’t say I was the biggest fan of these the first time, but they’ve grown on me since.

Michael Jordan only wore the “Olympic” Air Jordan 7, but that has not deterred Jordan Brand from giving “Olympic” makeovers to popular models, such as the White/Varsity Red-Midnight Navy Air Jordan 5 and the “Olympic” Air Jordan 6. Tomorrow’s release of the “Olympic” Air Jordan 7 got our wheels turning. What if our favorite Jordans received a patriotic touch? To coincide with MJ’s Olympic jersey number, we created nine Air Jordans we can only dream of.

The Air Jordan 2 is one of the sleekest models in the Air Jordan line, and could easily don “USA” colors. What do you think about this Air Jordan 2?

In addition to radio and television personality Big Tigger, we caught up with former NBA player and Cincinnati Bearcat Kenny Satterfield while in D.C. at the World Basketball Festival. Many of you youngsters may not remember Satterfield aka “Serious Satellite,” but he was one of, if not the top point guard in the nation as a sophomore in college during the early 2000s. As for sneakers, the NYC native suited up in the Flightposite II, the “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11, the Nike Shox BB4 and others, while at Cincy. That was then, but what is the streetball superstar rocking these days on and off the court? After helping Team Nike NYC win the City Tournament of Champions earlier this week (wearing the “Liquid Lime” Nike Lunar Hyperdunk), Satterfield put us up on his five-sneaker rotation in the latest installment of My 5. You can tell by his sneaker rotation that basketball is his life.

Kenny Satterfield: “Well, obviously I’m rocking the new “Liquid Lime” Hyperdunks right now. I’m playing in those a lot during summer league games. I like those a lot. They’re really light and comfortable.”
