With twenty-nine different variations and themes in the bank, the original Chiefglider Low is set to return to the asphalt this coming summer. Toned in powder blue/orange/white hues that match Free’s San Diego Clippers unis, the shoe is accented by a soup can that derives from World’s tendency to scream “Hot Soup” as he decimated his opponents, dropping buckets from anywhere and everywhere. Technologically speaking, the Chief is loaded affair: the brand’s “w.l.o.t.c.” shock-absorption inserts line the heel and midfoot, while a w.h.u.i.t.a. spring pad resides up front for a ride smoother than B’s transition game.

The Meet the Parents Mid was awarded “Most Interesting Name” in Bobbito’s “Let ‘Em Marinate” column a couple seasons ago. Sure, the casual chukka still warrants attention for its notable moniker, but the beige tweed upper, luxurious leather ankle collar and royal purple inner lining make the World B. Free MTP a winner in West 4th Street’s crowded confines and your mother’s cramped dining room. Hot soup, anyone?

Inspired by the venerable Chuck Taylor and Free’s Brownsville Projects blacktop roots, the K1X Don’t Call it a Comeback is the German brand’s latest off-court interpretation. The DCAC’s pebbled basketball upper ensures you’ll have a reminder of your favorite playground with you at all times, and the “Rainbow ‘93” tongue tag signifies the year K-1 kicked things off ‘cross the pond. World B. Free editions will be available in purple and white.

The K1X x World B. Free Kicks Collection will hit retailers this May!
