| In Retrospect: “Rising Sun” Air Jordan 12 Posted: 21 Nov 2010 12:13 PM PST In 2009, Jordan Brand blessed us with a ton of Air Jordan 12 releases. The majority of them were re-releases or colorways we have seen in the past such as the “Flu Game”, the “Nubuck” and the White/Red Air Jordan 12s. However, the “Rising Sun” Air Jordan 12s were the lone, new colorway of MJ’s 12th signature model to debut in 2009. While it didn’t receive as much attention as the aforementioned colorways, the “Rising Sun” Air Jordan 12, which released a year ago today, was still favored by many sneaker enthusiasts. Did you purchase the "Rising Sun" Air Jordan 12, and was it worth the money you paid for it? If not, are you wishing you would have snagged them last November? How does the “Rising Sun” rank amongst the other Air Jordan 12s that released last year (“Flu Game”, “Nubuck”, White/Red)? Lastly, was this one of your favorite Air Jordan Retro releases of 2009? Let us know your thoughts on the "Rising Sun" Air Jordan 12 in the comment section below!

| Nike Air Royal Mid VT Black/Black Posted: 21 Nov 2010 11:28 AM PST The Nike Air Royal Mid VT has been spotted in a new and more sophisticated colorway for this upcoming fall and winter season. This particular pair is completely monochromatic, yet still maintains a flashy look with a healthy dose of patent leather on the toe box. This definitely catches the eye to what would otherwise be a relatively routine pair. Check out more photos below and let us know what you think.

| Nike Shox BB Pro Brad Miller PE Posted: 21 Nov 2010 10:43 AM PST Brad Miller is a peculiar guy. Part outdoorsman, part NBA hooper, Miller is now an important member of the Houston Rockets. To follow the Shox Vision PEs he wore with the Bulls, Nike has prepared his Shox BB Pro in similar fashion. White tumbled leather covers most the upper, while iridescent red fills out the remainder. The Shox sole and heel padding are also red. Featured on the tongue is a large alligator insignia–a nod to Miller’s hunting hobby.

| Nike Air Max P2 Paul Pierce PE Posted: 21 Nov 2010 10:13 AM PST Hoopers, fans, and sneakerheads have been teased by the Paul Pierce line for years as its only released in kid’s sizes. Big footed fans have a chance now as a Nike Air Max P2 Paul Pierce PE has hit the web. The midtop sneaker features an ankle strap, smooth leather, and pebbled green accents. Paul’s logo appears near the heel above an Air Max unit. This size 15 sample is the same model Pierce wore in his 2008 Finals MVP performance and is is up for offers at eBay.

| Posted: 20 Nov 2010 02:13 PM PST There were a ton of very big sneaker stories within this past week. On the Kicks On Court front, Gilbert Arenas stood above his peers, as he wore sneakers such as the “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11, the Nike Air 3 and the “Taxi” Air Jordan 12. In addition, the “Altitude” Air Jordan 13 received a release date change and the Swizz Beats x Reebok collaboration surfaced on the web. Also, is there an Nike Air Yeezy 2 in the near future? Check out some of the hottest topics on Nice Kicks this past week! Could it be? There’s no denying the impact that the Nike Air Yeezy had on the sneaker community last year. Therefore, recent rumors of a Nike Air Yeezy 2 have garnered an abundance of attention! Kanye West has toyed with us about a possible Nike Air Yeezy 2 via Twitter. Earlier this week, we learned of the Air Jordan 13 “Altitude” receiving a release date change. It will now hit retailers on December 11th, 2010. Did Gilbert Arenas get caught with heat again? Yes and no. Our Kicks On Court spotted him in sneakers such as the “Taxi” Air Jordan 12, the “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11, the “Silver Anniversary” Air Jordan 9 and the Nike Air 3. Could he be the Kicks On Court King of the 2010-2011 NBA season? At the beginning of 2010, Nike blessed us with the Grey/Marina Blue Nike Air Griffey Max 1. It seems as if another exquisite colorway of this classic Ken Griffey Jr. signature will hit retailers during the early part of 2011. Check out detailed photos of this Nike Air Griffey Max 1 White/Black-Sport Red. Take a look at some of your favorite celebrities such as Will Farrell, Lil Wayne, Tom Petty, DJ Khaled, J. Cole and others, in our Celebrity Sneaker Stalker. The Swizz Beats x Reebok Preview was undoubtedly the biggest surprise on the site this week. This upcoming, 2011 release is set to be one of, if not the biggest Reebok release of next year. What are your preliminary thoughts on this collaborative effort? With the “Cool Grey” Air Jordan 11 release steadily approaching, many Air Jordan 11-structured accessories have surfaced including birthday cakes, socks and this Air Jordan 11 Titanium Metal Keyring. Now that the “Altitude” Air Jordan 13 will release on December 11th, which Air Jordan Retro will you purchase on that day: the “Altitude” Air Jordan 13s or the Air Jordan 3 “Doernbecher”? Both? As we mentioned earlier, Gilbert Arenas laced up the “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11 a few times this past week. North Carolina rapper J. Cole also sported some classic Air Jordan 11s this past week in the form of the “Concords”. Let us know who rocked the better Air Jordan 11 in our Footwear Faceoff . © George Kiel III for NiceKicks.com, 2010. | Permalink | 5 comments | Add to del.icio.us |
| Posted: 20 Nov 2010 01:28 PM PST In this week’s Staff Picks, a wide variety of brands are represented. From Jordans to Newbies and on over to Reebok, they’re all here. For example, one writer took to a ladies’ AJ13, while shop manager Greg grew fond of a 10 Deep collaboration. Flip through our picks and then head down to the comments section and let us know which shoe was your favorite from the past few days. Matt Halfhill This shoe stook out to me for a number of reasons this week. I like the low profile sole, the lightweight and minimalist build, and a full length color on the sole. I am sure these will be a bit of a hunt, but I’ve already started. Read the rest of Nice Kicks Staff Picks© Alex Kroviak for NiceKicks.com, 2010. | Permalink | 6 comments | Add to del.icio.us |
