Though it seems like Kevin Love is under a Nike contract, he is actually signed to China-based 361°. For those that follow that Olympics, Kevin started rocking his 361° kicks toward the end of their gold medal run, and today we bring you the 361° Kevin Love 1.5. The model takes on a mostly white upper with mesh panels along the side. Though there is no sign of a Love tie-in on this model, we do see plenty 361° branding on the tongue and heel.
