Today at Sneaker Con in New York, adidas Originals presented the House of Mutombo, where attendees not only got a chance to check out the adidas Mutombo retro firsthand, but they were also given the opportunity to meet the man himself. Dikembe talked with fans, signed autographs and even demonstrated his iconic finger wag as hundreds of attendees waited for the chance to get memorabilia signed. In celebration of today’s event, the adidas Originals store in Soho is also stocked with limited edition Mutombo apparel today only, so make sure you stop by if you’re in the area. The adidas Mutombo is set to return on August 24 with a $105 price tag, alongside the entire head to toe apparel collection from adidas Originals. Check out our exclusive images of today’s event below, and stay tuned for our video interview with Dikembe, which will debut next week only on NiceKicks.com.

$24.7 million can buy a lot of sneakers. J.R. Smith, the NBA’s 6th Man of the Year, now has that in his pocket after officially re-signing with the New York Knicks for four more years. Smith had the best basketball year of his career, averaging a career-high 18.1 ppg, but 2012-13 was also his most impressive Kicks On Court season (just check his resume). New York’s swingman brought out everything that worked with Knickerbocker blue and orange from Nike’s latest to retro Jordans, but what are his ultimate favorites?

We caught up with J.R. Smith to get his picks from some of his most frequent kicks. Click through the following pages to see what the Knicks’ microwave prefers both on and off the court.

The Nike Zoom Revis – Matt Kemp PE has the stamp of class on it. It looks swell and will surely pump up Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp when he takes the field wearing these. The sneakers are covered in metallic blue with red and white accents. The white midfoot cross strap has “Kemp” printed on it.

Speckled dynamic flywire rests on the tonal mesh. The medial heel carries the LA logo and the Swoosh. Check out the images.
