Nice Kicks Staff Picks

Clearly the Nice Kicks team was thinking about the upcoming hoops season when the members made their picks this weekend. LeBron is represented twice and the Black Mamba’s kicks are one writer’s favorite. A few runners also make appearances. Which was your favorite shoe from the last week? Head to the comments section and let us know.

Allison Halfhill

Reebok Pump Running Dual Light

This is easily one of the nicest Reebok shoes in quite some time. Grey has been such a predominant color lately in sneakers, and adding the aqua to it, makes for a nice, subtle contrast. Well done.

Posted: 23 Oct 2010 12:13 PM PDT

Kicks On Court Archive Pt. 2

Following the Kicks On Court Archives of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Ray Allen and Joe Johnson, our staff compiled the list of five more athletes who stood out in our daily Kicks On Court column. Specifically, Nate Robinson, Brandon Jennings, Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony all wore incredible player exclusives that left many of us dreaming of a public release. In case you missed our five new installments, check out part 2 of our Kicks On Court Archive recap.

Nate Robinson Greatest Sneakers of 2009-2010

Although Nate Robinson does not possess a signature line, he is undoubtedly one of the bright spots in Kicks On Court consistently. His best sneakers include the “Altitude” Air Jordan 13s, the ‘Orange Blaze’ Air Jordan 8s and the “Birthday Bundle” Nike Zoom LeBron IV.

Dwyane Wade's Greatest Sneakers of 2009-2010

Many eyes were set on Dwyane Wade’s feet, as he officially signed to Jordan Brand in the summer of 2009. He did not disappoint in his first season with Jordan Brand, as he sported sneakers such as the “Bred” Air Jordan 11s, the “W3LCOME Home” Air Jordan 2010s and a couple of Air Jordan 12 PEs.

Dwight Howard's Greatest Sneakers of 2009-2010

We expect big things from Dwight Howard’s footwear this year seeing that adidas will finally supply him with a signature shoe. However, last year, he wore some very eye-catching PEs such as the “Magic Beast” adidas TS Supernatural Commanders.

Posted: 23 Oct 2010 11:28 AM PDT

Supra Vaider Grey & Black/Grey Fleece

Two fresh colorways of the Supra Vaider have just been made available at select retailers. Both are perfect for fall, thanks to their full-grain leather builds. That’s not all though, as one of them owns grey fleece panels. The mixture of leather and fleece is not only attractive, thanks to the simple grey and black combination, but the variation in textures adds a little something else to the upper. The other shoe possesses a collar, toe box and quarter panel of perforated leather. Both shoes are available at Nice Kicks and Shop.NiceKicks.com now for $100 each.
