In the days before Stefan Janoski’s signature line debuted, the closest Swoosh Skateboarding got to a boat shoe design was the Nike SB Zoom Harbor. ?In retrospect, this model has more classic skate DNA than docksider-derived style, but it’s still a clear example of classics rising to the top as transient fads are cast off over the years. LeBron?James just won his second NBA Championship in a bold red?LeBron?X Elite, so it’s only natural when you see another basketball shoe just about as bold in a similar?colorway, you’d associate it with the newly?recrowned?kings. ?This?Nike Zoom?Hyperflight?in shimmering University Red adds Laser Orange to end up in the Miami Heat neighborhood, makes you wonder what it would have been like if Eric Avar had been on the Nike?LeBron?design team. Other Jordan sightings included DeJuan Blair’s Air Jordan XI ‘Cool Grey’, Joe Johnson’s Jordan Pure J, and Stephen Jackson’s Jordan Take Flight.From Nike Basketball PEs was the Hyperfuse from Deron Williams and Steph Curry, with Rudy Gay and Blake Griffin showing off their PEs of the Nike Air Max Fly By. Check out all of last night’s kicks after the jump and let us know who takes the top spot! via ESPN..
There’s another, sort of surprising, Jordan Brand sneaker that got dipped in the ‘BHM’ treatment for today’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day NBA activities. In terms of offseason player movements, a lot of attention will be placed on the New York Knicks, who have quite a number of contracts to deal with (Jeremy Lin’s being the top priority). He could very well be a Knick for years to come, or he might pack his bags to a team either looking for true guidance in his position or a marketing magnet for the Asian fanbase. The Sneaker News Air Max 1 iD Design Contest poll just came to a close, but even if you were unable to get your vote in, we’re confident in the Sneaker News public voice. Nike iD has been a godsend for some, but there’s also the group of sneakerheads who are completely satisfied with the colorways chosen by Nike Sportswear themselves, and with this upcoming Obsidian/Grey colorway, we can see exactly why.
JBF has knocked yet another one out of the park (remember his New York Jets inspired ‘Jet-Life’ joints?) and these can be yours for $420. Just four pairs will be made, so act fast! Take a look at the detailed gallery below and let us know if you think these are better than the Cheech & Chong SB Dunk High.. Air Jordan 1 Phat Low ‘Vamps’? These share quite a resemblance to the SB Dunk Low colorway from 2003 but of course we know that the black-and-red Air Jordan outdates the Nike SB Dunk (then again, one could argue that the Nike Dunk outdates the Air Jordan). Moving along, this new colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Phat low features the aboriginal Air Jordan colorway with a translucent outsole and a stealth grey inner lining and ’23′ on the tongue. Tomorrow, Nike Sportswear will honor one of its greatest athletes by releasing the iconic Air Trainer Max ’91 in a “Raiders” colorway. Accented by a full-reflective upper and a cracked concrete graphic on the midsoles, this Air Trainer Max ’91 captures that aggressive stance that Bo Jackson always had when he stepped on the turf.
