As winners of the NBA’s first draft lottery, the New York Knicks selected seven footer Patrick Ewing to cornerstone their team. Despite not paying dividends in the form of titles, the big man became an unforgettable member of New York’s die hard basketball community for the next 15 years. For 2008, New York will once again look to the basketball gods in hopes of securing something good on Tuesday, May 20th. In a similar spirit to an event that started last year, one day before the official draft, Classic Kicks will host their own lottery drawing on May 19th with the release of a No Mas x Puma First Round modeled in classic New York colors. Participants will be given the opportunity to score a life size portrait of New York’s former captain, Patrick Ewing. RSVP’s are required at lottery@nomas-nyc.com

éS Footwear is proud to announce a new collaboration with Krooked Skateboards and Bobby Worrest. Finding inspiration from Bobby’s local Washington D.C. basketball team, the Washington D.C. Wizards, and design inspiration from the crazy mind of legendary skateboarder, Mark Gonzales, éS designers worked some magical wizardry on the Prequel Mid and Square One models.
The Prequel Mid is a black mid-top featuring a gold and blue plaid pattern, while the Square One rocks some sharp black and gold stitching throughout, along with the Krooked eye’s graphic on the side panel.
Available on June 1, 2008, the shoes will come with a free video featuring Bobby and all his boys from back home. Visit www.esfootwear.com for more information and to check out a sneak peak of the video.
