Footaction 2014 NBA All Star Weekend
Feb 26th
We’re still in a stupor from the festivities of last weekend in New Orleans… it was memorable to say the least! From experiencing immersive retail locations to styling NBA Stars with Rachel Johnson, we’re going to chalk it up as a “W”. After looking through all of the footage we shot, we decided to relive it one more time for the books. Enjoy the video recap that we put together for an overhead view of Footaction’s 2014 NBA All Star Weekend.
Footaction On The Rise – Style Elevation with Andre Drummond
Feb 20th

The video was shot in the New Orleans during the NBA All-Star festivities last weekend. Drummond’s dominant performance, logging 30 points and 25 rebounds, earned him the MVP trophy in the NBA Rising Stars Challenge.
Footaction NBA All-Star Weekend 2014
Feb 19th
NBA All- Star Weekend is always a movie and this year in New Orleans was no different. As Footaction constantly brings its A-game every year when it comes to special partys and in-store installations, we may have outdone ourselves this year with the white and gold store on Bourbon and Canal.
Perched at the beginning of the infamous French Quarter, the Footaction store was given a complete makeover into an exclusive All-Star Jordan Brand experience. Not only could you cop the latest All-Star kicks, you could customize them with laces and other small accessories. Next door to the store featured a talk from both Blake Griffin and Carmelo Anthony’s stylists. They gave tips on style and also answered a few questions from the curious audience all while exclusive Jordan Brand apparel spun around on a golden carousel in the middle of the darkly lit space. Inside the walls in brightly lit glass cases were even more exclusive Jordan Brand sneakers including the extremely clean “Bamboo” XX8s and the yet to be released “woven” Air Jordan XIs.
But it didn’t stop there.
adidas had a store of their own in the Esplanade Mall Footaction that also featured exclusive Adidas footwear and apparel that could be customized to your liking. However it wasn’t until we stepped into the Jordan Flight Lab were we really blown away. Fit with smoldering smoke and laser lights, the entrance to the Jordan Flight Lab was something out of a Steven Spielberg movie. Upon entering, we were quickly ushered to a dark room that featured a small basketball court and a gigantic screen. Holographic builds of players like Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook would show anyone who was brave enough to step on the court some of their signature moves.
And if that wasn’t enough, the last room of the Jordan Flight Lab featured a customization center in which you could build your own custom Air Jordan but only a few were lucky enough to receive them. All-Star Weekend never fails to disappoint if you’re a true sneakerhead, so if you haven’t made you way to ASW yet, you may want to book your flight in advance this year!
Take a look at the pictures above to relive the incredible experiences this weekend.

Nike Super Bowl Pack To Release At Footaction NYC on 34th Street – Only This Monday
Jan 25th
Something special is on the way to celebrate the upcoming grand party that is the Super Bowl. The Nike Super Bowl pack consists of three sneakers: Nike Air Trainer 1 Super Bowl, Nike Air Trainer 94 Super Bowl and Nike Lunar 180 Trainer SC Super Bowl.
To kick-off the collection, the Nike Air Trainer 1 Super Bowl is the a classic from 1987 and that defined cross training by pairing a basketball-style upper with a running-inspired outsole. Designed by legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield, the shoe was previously a hit on the court as well as the road and now shines on with an all-over iridescent look.
Next, the Nike Air Trainer 94 Super Bowl was debuted in — you guessed it, 1994 — and featured an innovative design with a neoprene sleeve for support and cushioning through a bubble Air-Sole unit. These were a pioneering sneaker and now timeless trainers.
Last but surely not least is the Nike Lunar 180 Trainer SC which is an updated version of a 1990 classic with HyperFuse construction for lightweight support and breathability. The collection ends on a high note, with this modern constructed show with a classic silhouette.
Watch some commercials, flock with your friends and have some new fly kicks on your feet.
The full pack releases at the Footaction on 34th Street only in NYC this Monday.
