When we first met Dan Levy three years ago, the well-traveled comedian was on the road with Aziz Ansari. Telling tales of awkward run-ins with JT and Denzel, dangerous campout scenes and his trip to Beaverton, Dan proved he was very much about that sneaker life, but unlaced enough to have a laugh about it. Three years later, the resident comedian in the kick game still packs a quick wit and a tough rotation. Find out what Dan’s rocking these days in our latest installment of My 5. Stay tuned for more from Dan Levy tomorrow on Nice Kicks.

The Puma Basket “White” could be the perfect buy for you if you’re looking for a pair of spotless whites for the summer season; the Basket is a toned down version of the Puma Suede. Leather and tastefully done low-key gold branding impart class to the silhouette. Tonal formstripe branding on the sides of this tumble leather creation is also subdued. The textured white midsole completes the monochrome look.

Make no mistake, the Puma Basket is a legend in its own right. A true tumbled leather classic. £55.00 gets you a pair.

Quentin Tarantino’s classic film Death Proof provides the inspiration on a custom set of Nike LeBron 9s. Showcased in a themed wooden box by Chris Bransome, two pairs channel characters from the flick. A “Stuntman Mike” inspired Nike LeBron 9 Elite packs a matte black upper, accented by splattered blood graphic and finished with a duck hood ornament hang tag. The standard LeBron 9 features inspiration from Kim’s mustang, set off by a candy yellow gloss finish and red interior. Check out these custom creations by Trevor Duffles below.

It’s been years since Norse Projects and New Balance collaborated on a pair of kicks. The tandem is back in stride, offering a preview of their next co-branded release. The Norse Projects x New Balance 1500 is seen in teaser photos, offering a detailed look at certain portions of the sneaker but no overview imagery. A grey and navy upper with printed mesh paneling appears to be featured, but photos of a tan lining cause confusion as to to the colorway or number of possible pairs in the works. Check out pics below and stay tuned to Nice Kicks for updates on the Norse Projects x New Balance 1500 release.
