ÿþTo celebrate the nike air max 90 opening of the gallery, Nike commissioned eight artists who are masters of the art styles used in the Prelude Pack to create original pieces that were inspired by each moment that was represented in the pack. Noted artist Allison Hueman Torneros was the creative mind behind the first piece,Hueman was in attendance for the premiere and took time to answer some questions about the concepts behind the piece.

Check out pictures of the Kobe Prelude Pack  along with the full chat with Hueman by Nike and members of the press  in the accompanying slides. Each week at the Nike Vault leading up to the launch of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite, they will be unveiling a new piece of art to coincide with the drop of nike air force the latest sneaker in the Prelude Pack. If you live in the Los Angeles area, it is definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of The Black Mamba or just art in general.

As a guest of Nike, I could have easily participated in the basket femme nike festivities, even though there was no way my 30-something old self would ever be caught dead at a real EDM show. My niece on the other hand& National champion at badminton and scholar at the finest college in the Philippines. Couldn't be more proud of her, especially since she was conveniently on vacation here in the states in time for the event. So yes, out of the goodness of my heart.

The event took place a the Lakers training facility in Los Angeles. Once all media got settled in, we basket nike femme were greeted by two of the top Nike Adapt BB designers at the Lakers Press Room. Although the Nike Adapt BB has a very complex design (obviously), they really managed to break it down in a way that all of us were all able to grasp and understand. Much was said and discussed about the shoe. They emphasized that every single piece of the shoe was strategically designed for this very model.

We got dressed and laced up the shoes. I requested a size 10 and got a size 10. As soon as I tried putting the shoe on, I felt like I was going to have a hard time doing so. Since you can't really unlace them to loosen them up, I started messing around with them a little but and noticed that that tongue does stretch outwards a bit making the shoe a lot more easier to put in and slip on. So for those asking if the shoes fit true to size, my answer would be yes.

The nike femme day ended with an unannounced special guest appearance by none other than Kyle Kuzma. He sat down with us for a few minutes and talked about his experience with the Adapt BB (he's been wearing it for a few games now). One sound bite that I was able to point it out is the fact the Kuzma compared the overall feel and performance to t that of the Kobe line, which he wears almost on a daily basis. So for those who like how the Kobe line feels and performs, we're almost certain you're gonna dig the Nike Adapt BB.
