Air Jordan 1 High Silver Anniversary Packaging
Instead of using a typical shoebox, the Air Jordan 1 High Silver Anniversary Collection uses exceptional packaging. This could be the first time in your entire life to see a pair of sneakers packed in a platinum briefcase which features the Jumpman logo in front while the 23/25 logo is found around the handle area. The distinctive packaging is just one of the many proofs that JB is getting into the edge when it comes to creativity. [NiceKicks]

adidas TS Supernatural Commander “Magic Beast”

adidas TS Supernatural Commander "Magic Beast"

Dwight Howard may have taken the “Superman” nickname from Shaq a few years back, but the Magic team colors have kept him from wearing the same colors as The Man of Steel. That will all change on Christmas Day though, as Dwight is scheduled to debut these adidas TS Supernatural Commanders against the Boston Celtics.

The first attribute you’ll notice is the set of bright yellow and red stripes on the midfoot. The red outlines compliment the outsole and area near the ankle, which is done up in suede. The black leather upper, which is complimented itself by blue on the lower portion, features speckled print in white. The print is reminiscent of stars in the sky, an ode to the “Supernatural” name. Finally, Chinese text is featured on the tongue.
