Sneakers make the world go round.
Don’t believe me? Just ask my guy, Mike Sykes, whose ‘Kicks You Wear’ series is one of the best things going on the internet when it comes to shoe culture.
But it doesn’t even take an expert shoe evaluator like him to know that. Even myself, a washed-up former basketball player, can tell you a thing or two about how much a good shoe can change your life.
I can also spot the good from the bad. And these KD 15 player editions for WNBA superstar Napheesa Collier are good. Actually, they’re absolutely eye candy.
Napheesa Collier's new KDs are 🔥 @PHEEsespieces
Her Nike KD 15 PE is inspired by her Sierra Leonean heritage and features her mantra to never give up, “Any Na Way,” on the tongue.

The colors are unique, but the message inside the tongue — “Any Na Way” — gives the shoe even more meaning.
Hopefully, we can see Phee rock these on the court soon, as she works her way back to the Minnesota Lynx after giving birth to her first child in May.
What do y’all think of these kicks?
