corey homicide williams, recently acquired by croatian powerhouse cibona zagreb after wowing the australian nbl for the townsville crocodiles, has now made his mark. after having spent the first couple of games “just” passing the ball and getting his new teammates involved. this week, in a valiant effort vs. top euro squad partizan, the “silver surfer” matched up vs. former nba guard milt palacio. playing in his brand new signature shoe, the k1x 187, corey broke out for 28 points (11/15 fg), 2 assists, 3 rebs and 1 stl, while grounding palacio for 1 point on 0 of 8 shooting with t-wolves gm kevin mchale sitting courtside.
here’s a closer look at corey’s signature shoe, our tribute to “the most dangerous” ballplayer new york’s. the “187″ has dropped in europe and will be exclusively available at foot locker usa in late may. it features a german engineered w.h.u.i.t.a. spring pad, traction tech outsole and the k1x-typical extra low and wide stance, for superior court feel and ups, resulting in maximum ankle protection. plus a bunch of hidden details, pick it up at a store near you…
