Time capsules are usually only seen in cheesy ‘80s movies or funky teenage sitcoms. The people involved place an unforgettable item in the capsule that will help them be remembered decades later. Fast forward to today, and we see a time capsule that sneaker fans can really dig. The 1996 NBA All-Star game was played on February 11 of that year, and you can check Episode 5 of Nice Kicks Presents: The Shoe Horn for perspective on the amount of heat that was on the court that day. Packer Shoes commemorates the momentous occasion with the Packer Shoes “Remember the Alamo” Time Capsule. The capsule includes a pair of the celebratory Packer Shoes x Reebok Kamikaze II “Remember the Alamo”. There is also Mitchell & Ness brand All-Star Snapback hat, Shawn Kemp 1996 All-Star caricature T-Shirt, and a white Authentic Shawn Kemp 1996 All-Star Game jersey included. The container itself is a 14 x 8 PVC and steel storage case, complete with a carry handle.

The capsule dropped today, exactly 17 years, 5 months, and 18 days after that illustrious All-Star game. What’s the significance of such a specific date? The numbers add up to 40, Shawn Kemp’s jersey number. Sticking with the theme, the capsule was limited to only 40. Each was numbered, and each is currently sold out. However, you still have a chance to get your hands on the Packers Shoes x Reebok Kamikaze II “Remember the Alamo” kicks when they drop on Friday, August 2. What are your thoughts on the Packer Shoes Remember the Alamo Time Capsule?

The Air Jordan 3 “Fire Red” sees the return of an original. Pairing the ever-popular elephant print with the always hot hue, this retro release makes the most of the storied silo in a blazing colorway. White leather resides on the upper, with perforated panels around the ankle and tongue hosting hues of red and grey. Dark elephant print distinguishes this OG makeup, wrapping around the ankle and toe box. Soft grey accents cool down the tongue in perforated fashion, while a similar shade sets off the lining. Check out detailed pics of the “Fire Red” 3s below and look for these to launch at select Jordan Brand accounts on August 3 for $160.

Los Angeles Sparks forward Candace Parker set an All-Star record with 23 points, and the West snuck out a 102-98 win in Saturday’s 2013 WNBA All-Star Game. In just her first All-Star appearance, mostly due to previous injuries, Parker led the left-siders in a brand new adidas Crazy Light 3. The other CP3 sliced and diced all night in her bright orange PE, but she wasn’t the only sneaker star in the game. An array of Kobe iDs, new Hyperdunk 2013s, and a special LeBron X Elite all helped continue the All-Star tradition of flashy Kicks On Court.

Scroll and click through the following pages to see what basketball’s leading ladies brought out in Connecticut for the All-Star festivities, and let us know what you think of their selections in the feedback spot at the end.

With the first full week of the second half of the MLB season in the books, players turned their game and their footwear up a notch. Pittsburgh third baseman Pedro Alvarez decided to dig deep into his closet, wearing the Air Jordan 4 White/Tour Yellow during warm-ups on Friday. Alvarez’s teammate Russell Martin continued his streak of bringing hardwood cleats to the field as he once again wore his cleated version of the Nike Kobe 8. Also, Atlanta shortstop Andrelton Simmons gave us a good look at the new Nike Air Huarache Pro Low. Check out the images below as well as well as a full rundown of cleats worn on the diamond last week in the latest edition of Base Kicks.
