House of Hoops or House of Smoke?


So, it appears that Footlocker has got its head so far up Nike’s ass that they don’t know they missed the boat 3-years ago.

I knew that the House of Hoops stores were on the horizon, but had no clue that they’d take Footlocker more than 2-years to execute the look and the unveiling of their first store in Harlem (NYC), of all places.

I guess to the uneducated, some will say that by Footlocker and Nike joining forces and attempting to form like Voltron and opening a sneaker-boutique that is designed specifically for basketball aficionados, is a good look, while there are those that will look at it as contrived and lacking swagger.

Now, I haven’t visited the store, but I plan to in the coming weeks and I’ll give a first-hand look of what sneakers are available and the “other gear” that their peddling in Harlem USA.

Stay tuned for the mix.
