The Jordan Icons Jordan Brand Classic was designed to fit the high school basketball players who will compete in the Jordan Bland Classic. For this year, a new colorway was revealed featuring a combination of Royal Blue and White. The bottom half including the tongue come in Royal Blue while the upper half comes in White. Royal Blue and White also wrap the midsole with text carvings on the heel portion. The Jordan Brand Classic logo appears on the heel and insole while the Red Jumpman logo is seen on the tongue that perfectly matches the laces. [NiceKicks]

Nike Dunk High & Low “Icons”

Posted: 28 Jan 2010 12:58 PM PST

The most recent round of Nike Dunks keep things simple and keep the “University” theme going. A High and a Low just dropped at Proper, and orange is the obvious majority color of choice.

The High has been seen a few times here on Nice Kicks, and has hit select retailers, but the current stock should give anyone who slept on them another shot a pair. The Lows also use a Syracuse-inspired colorway, though they use far more blue. Royal is used all over, including the outsole, but the orange accents are still used. Head over to the L.A. spot and grab yours now.

Nike Big Nike “Valentine’s Day”

Posted: 28 Jan 2010 12:28 PM PST

How many Valentine’s Day inspired sneakers does Nike have in the vault? We have already seen the Air Force 1, Aerofit, the Dunk and the Dynasty dressed in Valentine’s Day color schemes. Now, we have photos of the Nike Big Nike “Valentine’s Day”.

Nike decided to primarily dress this sneaker in the secondary Valentine’s Day color. It is mostly done up in a pink leather as opposed to a mainly red sneaker we usually see to honor Valentine’s Day. However, it still features a lot of red accents such as midsole, shoelaces, tongue border and inner lining. Nike also incorporated a written ‘love’ message on the nylon tongue; maybe some of you guys can use this message instead of buying a card this year. This Big Nike is available at select retailers now. Click here to view additional photos.

Nike Trainer SC 2010 Pack

Posted: 28 Jan 2010 11:58 AM PST

Just yesterday we took a look at two new colorways of the updated Nike Trainer SC 2010. Keeping the ball rolling today are two more colorways, which are set to release as a two-pack on February 10th.

While it looked like one of the aforementioned pairs was inspired by the original “Auburn” colorway, this pair may be the definitive translation of the look onto this recent silhouette. Orange flywire zips up the side of the white upper, while a grey mudguard and other key points are hit with purple accents.

The other pair uses a light tan leather for its upper’s majority and is dedicated to Albert Pujols. As one of the MLB’s biggest and baddest players, Pujols’ physical prowess is comparable to Bo’s, but in the modern era. Deep red Flywire is used alongside matching accents, as well as navy blue on the midsole and Swoosh. “Albert Knows” appears on the heels, similar to the way “Bo 34 Knows” appears on the other shoe.

Nike Zoom BB II Tony Parker PE Unreleased

Posted: 28 Jan 2010 11:28 AM PST

During the 2008-2009 NBA season, San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker sported the Nike Zoom BB II on occasion in a black and silver colorway. However, this white/black colorway of the Nike Zoom BB II was never worn by Parker. Therefore, it never released to the public unlike the aforementioned black/silver colorway. This unreleased Zoom BB II Tony Parker PE is now available on eBay in a size 9.

This particular sneaker features a white-colored base comprised of a few textures such as patent leather (toe area), leather (predominance of the upper) and mesh (tongue). It seems to also own a black nylon inner lining. Other features include a black swoosh outlined in grey, a grey midsole, a black outsole and Tony Parker’s logo on the heel. As stated earlier, you can place your bid now on eBay.

Vans “Alva Legends” Pack

Posted: 28 Jan 2010 10:58 AM PST

Tony Alva’s legendary status led to Vans revamping some classic silhouettes, including the Mid Skool 77 Pro and Era Pro.

The colorways used on both shoe actually bear the skater’s name. Alva Blue suede covers the Era Pro, while a lighter blue interjects on the stitching. Tan is used for the liner in laces in the same way it’s put to work on the Mid Skool 77. The higher-cut version of the two dons an Alva Green colorway. Both sport white vulcanized soles and eyelets that match their liners and laces.
