Nike Air Max Hyperize Emeka Okafor PEs

Posted: 19 May 2010 12:58 PM PDT

New Orleans center Emeka Okafor was spotted in our Kicks On Court wearing a Nike Blue Chip II PE; however, it is safe to say some of his better Nike Basketball PEs are only seen in photos (see Okafor’s Nike Hypermax PEs). We have now received photos of his ‘Home’ and ‘Away’ Nike Air Max Hyperize PEs.

Obviously, Okafor’s PEs have been designed to match the New Orleans Hornets jerseys. His ‘Away’ PEs, shown above, features a mostly black leather base with purple and blue accents, mainly seen on the flywire side panels, the shoelaces, the tongue and the outsole. It also contains a purple visible Air sole unit and a purple/blue outsole. Emeka Okafor’s nickname ‘THE PICK’ (referencing him being the first number 1 pick for the Charlotte Bobcats)  is spotted to on the tongue along with his jersey number.  View detailed photos below.

Nike Dunk High Supreme “Polka Dot”

Posted: 19 May 2010 11:58 AM PDT

Nike Dunk High "Polka Dot"

What design hasn’t the Nike Dunk model seen? This year alone, we have spotted this sneaker owning a gingham design, patchwork attributes and a 100% canvas-textured base, just to name a few. In addition, Nike will unleash this Dunk High Supreme “Polka Dot” during the fall 2010 season.

The enlarged matte silver polka dots, seen throughout the heel panel, side panels and toe area, give this shoe anything but a subtle look. The rest of the upper is colored in black along with the swoosh, and the midsole/outsole is done up in white and grey, respectively. One of the more interesting qualities about this shoe is that it possesses Zoom unit soles which has not been seen on the Dunk this year (evident by the red Nike tongue logo). The Nike Dunk High Supreme “Polka Dot” is set to release in the fall; however it is now available at select retailers including Atmos.

Nike Air Max 24/7 “Chili”

Posted: 19 May 2010 10:58 AM PDT

Nike Air Max 24-7 "Chili"

The Nike Air Max 24-5 “Neon” is the talk of the Nike lineup right now. With its ode to a classic colorway from the Air Max 95 and its updated hybrid technology and looks, it makes perfect sense that demand is high. This next pair possesses all the same quality, but it pays tribute to a different AM95 look: the “Chili.”

This Air Max 24-7 shows the same basic layout of the aforementioned “Neon” shoe, but instead uses red throughout. The upper shows the classic layered gradient pattern, fading from black to white. The mid-panel Swoosh, AM2009 Max Air unit and lace hoops are all “Chili” red. These are starting to hit shops nationwide, so check with your local retailer.

Nike Hyperize Amar’e Stoudemire PE

Posted: 19 May 2010 10:28 AM PDT

Following the Nike Air Max Hyperize Amar’e Stoudemire PEs we showed you earlier this month, we now have spotted his Nike Hyperize player exclusives .

Although Stoudemire has been faithfully wearing the Nike KD II this postseason, it’s still nice to see detailed photos of some fresh PEs. This particular Nike Hyperize, which is being currently worn by Amar’e’s teammate Jared Dudley, contains a black base with multiple purple and orange attributes to match the Suns jerseys. In detail, orange laces, a purple mesh tongue and a orange-outlined purple swoosh, are just a few of the Phoenix Suns attributes. One of the more interesting features on this Hyperize is the translucent flywire design seen on the side panels. View more photos below.
