The Chris Herren Story. Real talk from a basketball junkie come clean. We are very happy to see this former K1X warrior back on track. Great read, great guy. Merry X-Mas!

It was the man himself who tweeted this image of himself and his crew in front of the Eiffel Tower the other day (“Got my ni**as is Paris. For real.”). And since Paris is the fashion capital of the world, J. Cole opted to go for our MTP Zipper Hoody, which he picked up a couple of days earlier in Berlin, the previous stop of his “Cole World” tour. Good looking out J!

Shout out to the Russian people! Remember: It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings. In fact, things are just getting started…

Twenty years ago, basketball changed forever. Never before had hip hop culture left such an obvious footprint in the clean and wholesome world of college sports. It was a display of unbridled confidence and an aggressive in-your-face attitude. The extra baggy shorts, the black socks and bald heads. More trash than Middle America could take. You either loved these guys – or hated them. As you may guess, K1X (est. in 1993) loved them for personifying “swagger” to perfection. And K1X was very much inspired by this early blend of basketball and hip hop, a mixture which remains a main ingredient of most K1X designs to this day. The “Freshmen Swagger” pack is out now!

K1Xclusive Fall/Winter 2011/12 just hit stores with 3 dazzling packs. In the following weeks we will give you a closer look at the most outstanding K1Xclusive pushers. To kick things off, we want to give a big shout-out to Thomas & Marc from OVERKILL. Homeboys made sure you cant miss K1X these days in their online shop. Bigup guys, way to play hard!

Due to the lively response to the Decade Pack in Spring 2011, K1Xclusive is back for an encore this fall: The „Decade Lining Pack“

While the special feature of the original spring series had been the lack of inner lining, the fall 2011 series will present the 80s and 90s silhouettes with a solid inner lining and durable full-grain leather, making the construction more resilient. Both the 80s and 90s silhouette come in black grain leather, white outsoles and a pop of cyan blue on the heel loops.
