| Nike Aina Chukka Stone/White Posted: 05 Mar 2010 09:43 AM PST  We’ve seen a shift in sneakers from athletic-inspired to lifestyle-centric in the last few months. To keep that going, the next step from the team in Beaverton is this Nike Aina Chukka, which is set to release soon. Along the quarter panels, woven suede in Stone is utilized, similar to previous special makeups we’ve seen, like the Lunar Woven Chukka. The midfoot, heel, toe and area along the sole are all constructed with a solid color of suede. The toe box is perforated, further adding to the breathability these are sure to possess. The white vulcanized midsole shows a stripe of connected diamonds. If you can’t wait for a retail release, you can grab your pair now on eBay. | Read the rest of Nike Aina Chukka Stone/White

| Kicks On Court: Black Mamba’s New Nike Zoom Kobe V Posted: 05 Mar 2010 08:58 AM PST  We are now starting to see a vast amount of Nike Zoom Kobe V iD colorways throughout the league. Players such as JR Smith, Channing Frye and Shannon Brown have been seen in some rather interesting colorways. Last night, our Kicks On Court spotted Bryant himself rocking a new Kobe V colorway. In a loss against the Miami Heat, Kobe Bryant went toe to toe with Dwyane Wade while wearing a never-before-seen, black/white-yellow colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe V. The colorway is similar to that seen on the Nike Zoom Kobe IV “Del Sol”. On the contrary, Miami Heat guards Dwyane Wade and Quentin Richardson both laced up some fresh sneakers as well, Wade sported his Air Jordan 2010 PE that he debuted earlier this week and QRich hooped in the “Silver Anniversary” Air Jordan 9s. Click here to view these kicks plus more worn by Steve Nash, Deron Williams, Michael Beasley and others. | Read the rest of Kicks On Court: Black Mamba’s New Nike Zoom Kobe V

| Nike SB Dunk Fat Tongue to Return Posted: 05 Mar 2010 08:13 AM PST  Nike SB Dunk releases has been criticized in the last few seasons because of the disappearance of the fat tongue. If you’ve lost favor in the line because of the tongue switch, Kevin Imamura from Nike SB broke the news that the fat tongue will return. Imamura was not specific as to which shoe will serve as the first to re-debut the feature, or even during which season it will occur. However, does the sheer knowledge that the fat tongue is coming back have the value of Nike SB stock rising? | Read the rest of Nike SB Dunk Fat Tongue to Return
