As we alluded to in our ["Conrad McRae" Nike Air Force 25 Low post], Nike recently released a pack of Air Force 25 Lows and Nike Dunk Hoops inspired by up and coming youth Basketball tournaments. As part of this pack, Nike released the "Conrad McRae" Nike Dunk Hoop. Inspired by the Conrad McRae Youth Basketball Tournament and the deceased legend himself, the "Conrad McRae" Nike Dunk Hoop features a White Cement toe, a Yellow hit at the toe and yellow laces, and a Royal Blue/White Leather upper.

Good Looking Shoe. I like the mixture of patterns and materials. The soles are exceptionally nice. Does anyone know what kind of technology is in these: Zoom Air? Air Max?
Lol,Nice I Guess
Lol
its sad because alot of people don't even know who Conrad "Rad" Mcrae was. i'm from houston and i remember hearin about him and seeing him on the And1 mixtape Vol 1. dude was a monster.
McNasty was a beast.
these are laughable though.
I, umm...I just don't (and won't) get these. McNasty deserves better. RIP
The concept is excellent. The shoe itself is a joke! Don't the creative minds @ Nike have better ideas for kicks these days?
these resemble the Jordan Team FBI model 4-5 yrs back. The strap, heal and overall shape imo. If the CW was right, these could be decent
I dont see what all you jordan fusion lovers are whining about. These shoes are actually reminiscent of nike basketball back in the 90's, with an original design that has the potential to be classic. This could be a small step in the right direction for nike in my opinion.
pedro, the thing is, these don't represent Conrad at all. thats like me making a tribute shoe to jordan and using pink and green. There should have been a more aggressive take on the colors and such. go back and watch AND1 volume 1 and see if anything about him says white or yellow.
I think it's a tributre to him concidering he wore And 1 t-shoe's? and NOT Nike's? I'm just sayin!!! personally I really dig these, I don't care for the strap, but it not bad either. I would def cop these in this colorway, So Nike hurry up and drop'em already!!! Sweet!!! would love to have'em on the NikeID? Oh Lurdy!!!
