04:09 PM - January 29, 2013 by Steve_OS

Nice Kicks, one of the premier spots for sneaker info, met up with 2K Sports and mentioned on Twitter, something MAJOR is coming to NBA 2K14.

Since the tweet is coming from them, obviously shoes are getting some more love. What are you hoping to see? (Stay on topic of shoes, anything else will be deleted.)

Hmm, this could be fun, maybe Nice Kicks finds a way to implement their database of sneakers into 2K, kinda how Live did back in the day. Instead of auto-creating shoes or whatever they are, have realistic shoe models with their real colorways. The only downfall of this is then retro jerseys with different colorways would be screwed, unless we were able to choose a specific shoe/colorway for each jersey :O. I doubt this is the case, but if it happened, I'd be really really happy.

I tried to click on one of the nicekick's links today and I got a McAfee siteadvisor warning for some reason http://www.siteadvisor.com/restricte...os_ver=6.1.1.0. I went to their main site and didn't get it again. If Nicekicks gets these:http://www.nicekicks.com/2013/01/cop...lackflash-red/ in the games I will love em forever.

Someone always has to hate on kicks if you don't like or know about shoes just don't comment! Simple

Kamikaze II's are already in the game. Just have to edit the colors.

There are about 3 different Spalding bball shoes (2012) and yeah 2K should've put more than just one shoe even if it's from 2011.

The fact that their flagship model (worn by all 3 endorsers, included in the game) is down to $50 just proves how small spalding's role is in the sneaker market.

Also I'm on sneaker websites daily and I check the new arrivals at eastbay and finish line almost weekly, and I've never heard any mention of a spalding basketball shoe other than the threat

Thinking about whatever the tweet might mean...a great thing would be some kind of new shoe management system for 2k14. Everything on one screen.

Something like having the roster on the left side of the screen while on the right we get the shoe pictures of the shoe selection screen as preview.
By scrolling through a team you'll see a preview of the shoe a player wears. Now by simply clicking on a player, the shoe menu pops up allowing you to edit whole teams in an easy way. The missing options from past games like home/away color could be incorporated to this screen, too.
Now I won't care for any shoe or accessory update if 2k keeps screwing up gameplay while ignoring well known issues for years, but if they finally include a better way of organizing their menus to keep up with all the new content, I'm all for it.

yea the Spalding Slash was worn by Jimmer, Chris Singleton and Mario last year and some have even worn it this year

I don't quite understand the love for shoes in games like 2k. Customization and a variety is great and all, but its not a game changer like so many make it seem.

did i just not.. wow

# 72 Cybrtron @ 04/20/13 07:05 PM

What would really love to see is a section in 2k share where you can download and upload the custom shoes you create. I think it would be pretty easy as they already have the ability to download created player so I don't see why they can't do the same with shoes.
That way there would automatically be a ton more variety for shoes with new colorways, PEs, etc.

# 73 Angel_G @ 04/20/13 09:20 PM

nice idea cybertron I agree also if you upload shoes to 2k share they should stay attached to the roster file so when others download your roster they will have custom shoes and please fix the stupid "rubber glitch" on shoe materials.

# 74 turty11 @ 04/20/13 10:26 PM

im hoping to see them get ALL the diffrent brands/types that are used in he NBA. such as linnings and what not

# 75 green225 @ 04/21/13 11:58 AM

Crew? How about something that matters, like gameplay (eg. no morhping).

# 77 keshunleon @ 04/21/13 06:56 PM

How about making all the shoes editable and have accurate/updates shoes that some of the players are wearing.

Shoes are lacking and bring back choosing which team color to use and have a 3rd team color.

I get tired so seeing all the dang sliding with the wrong shoe brand, colors, and type of shoe.

Everybody is different and wear different colors for home and away.

Knicks home: some wear blue, white, black or orange as primary and vice versa for away.

I also get tired of seeing PF's and C's that can't shoot the 3 standing at the 3pt line and not cutting to the basket with locked Nike when they wear Peak.

sorry to bump this but does anyone know what this major thing was?

# 79 DavidTheGreat20 @ 12/23/13 02:03 PM

Nice idea to have NiceKicks. Hope they add a few player PEs and hopefully some shoes like the Penny V and the Crazy 1 retro.
