Last Friday, Heat dominated the Magic in their first clash this season at Miami’s home court. It’s not all about heroes showdown on court but also of PE kicks. Vince Carter’s pride is this blue Nike Shox BB Pro, seen on the early minutes of the game before his injury. Nike Shox BB Pro PE has a black leather upper, with royal blue detailing and white filling in the Swoosh. More details of Nike Shox BB Pro Vince Carter in the following images.
Adidas take seriously the eggplant demand this season, that’s why they released this Campus 39 Hi in Purple/Black colorway. A bright purple sits well on the suede uppers of this Adidas Campus 39 Hi sneaker. Stitched black contrasting details emphasized the lacing system, outsole, and the 3-stripes leather branding. The legacy of skateboarding and hip-hop influences much of this Campus 39 Hi sneaker. $110.
This Johnson Mid Low Grey went on-sale at select retailers nationwide. Prices cut-off 40% of the original at some generous stores.

You might take this and store in your shelves for a while. You better grab one now. $39.
Joining the rush of sneaker releases this season, Nike Dunk High in Deep Garnet colorway is now available in the US. Last month, we spotted overseas the Dunk Low CL in Deep Garnet suede covers where this Dunk High kick draw most of its look. However, this Dunk High kick has canvas uppers working on Deep Garnet, unlike the suede covers of the Dunk Low. Details of dark grey suede nicely sits on the toe, midfoot, foxing and Swoosh. Check the following images after the break. $80.
In its eternal search for a marketable hometown hero from China, Nike has again put out another Yi Jianlian Nike Hyperdunk 2010 PE. This time however, a different colorway is used as the 7 footer has recently been acquired by the young Washington Wizards. Yi, who joins the likes of John Wall and Gilbert Arenas, stepped up last year, improving nearly every statistic of his game. This pair features a predominately black upper with hits of gold and blue on the midsole, outsole, laces, Swoosh, and heel cup. This is one of the best PEs we’ve seen recently. How does this pair stack up in your book?
Today’s new version of the Nike Air Max Light is perfect for anyone needing a new pair for this winter season. The pair shown today uses dark tones but still maintains good contrast and color patterns. The majority of the upper is a black leather material that is complimented with grey hits on the mudguard that encompasses the majority of the sneaker. Royal blue and silver hits used on the outsole, branding, and lace eyelets finish this pair off in classic fashion. Head over to JD Sports to pickup this exclusive product.

This pair gives an overall vintage look and is sure to look and feel great on the foot.

If there is something I get excited about as much as sneakers it’s entrepreneurial spirit. Ball’n is one of a handful of brands getting their foot in the basketball market this season and are on the feet of Ron Artest. While I may have made some changes in terms of logo placement and branding, the Ball’n The All Out is a great debut shoe for the new brand. I’m a sucker for grey/white kicks and loved the clear outsole and the Lakers colorway with the yellow pop out of the perforations is a sick look. Couldn’t decide which color I liked more so going to have to roll with both.
Looking forward to seeing more from this as well as many new brands who jumped into the basketball market.
Before there was there was Flight Club, before there were sneaker magazines, before there were blogs, before there touring sneaker shows, there was still a culture and community of people who loved sneakers. Grey One gives us a look into the scene of sneakers through the lens in a piece titled “The Game.” Much thanks to Ben Baller for the heads up about this piece.
