The outdoor hoops brand K1X will be adding to their current lineup of brightly colored kicks with their Fall line which included some slightly darker tones.
These were Best Nike Basketball Shoes and if you hoop outdoors then they were literally made for you. I personally like the Maroon colorway but I’m sure there is something here for everyone – including a basic black colorway for those of you opposed to color.
Check them out below and feel free to share your thought in the comment section.

Nike Lebron 9??
Got the greens already – same time you got the navy. They get good comments every time I wear them.
I just cant get into k1x until they do a CW w/ more than one color
Nah
I wonder how these would look with at least one other color on them.
So you all are just going to act like you don’t see blood on the court?
yeah, i wish they could have hits or splashes of other colors on them, i’m really not into single color colorways, but considering i play a lot of ball outdoors and am always eager to look into other brands besides the big two, i have to give these some consideration…
Just want to ask if are there any outlets K1X in Hongkong?:)
No man, we don’t even have Li Ning or peak outlets here….
No Li Ning and Peak outlets?? How come? those companies are from china right? that’s a bummer…
Li Ning closed down here because business was bad, apparently…as for peak, nobody carries it for some reason. I’m not sure if anta ever had a store here….
Wow, that is crazy that you can’t get Li-Ning or Peak shoes there with any sort of regularity.
Tadatsune, does Nike and Adidas have a foothold on a lot of the Basketball shoes that are sold there? How about Jordan brand?
Do many people wear off brands at all? or is it mainly Nike and Adidas shoes? I’m very interested on what you have to say on the subject.
yes, very much so, i would say that things here are much the same as they are in North America, Nike is MUCH more visible here than Adidas is, but the Rose and Crazy Light lines are incredibly popular, too. for whatever reason kids love the Crazy Lights here, you see the 2s and even the 1s (which apparently you are not supposed to use on an outdoor court) in playgrounds all across the city.
Jordan Brand of course has a MASSIVE following here, something that has to do with certain Taiwanese celebrities rocking retros on the regular, but not so much the basketball line as the retros (walk the streets in some fashionable areas and you might see the bred XIs on people’s feet multiple times in the course of a few minutes)….
nope, nobody really wears ‘off brands’ here, if somebody is spotted with the Peak TP9s or the Li-Ning Way of Wades, they are often deluged with questions as to where they got a pair. very, very rarely will you see somebody wearing something from Under Armour or whatever, and when you do it’s usually folks from the States who come through Hong Kong on the regular…
on a side note, one or two retailers have started importing small quantities of the WoWs here, selling them at a very small profit, and the reception has been rather good…i would imagine that if TP9s were available here it would be much the same, they look like excellent performers, and at the price they are going for i think they’d be very popular.
I was excited going to HK since I thought almost all of the shoe brands are there already. Well, thanks for the info man, appreciated it.
