| Kicks On Court: Ray Allen Closes Out 2010 in Air Jordan 11 PE Posted: 01 Jan 2011 12:05 PM PST While Gilbert Arenas has been tearing up Kicks On Court day in and day out, Ray Allen, the 2008-09 Kicks On Court King, has been relatively quiet in the sneaker department. We have only seen him wearing the Air Jordan 2010 Team for the most part of this young season. Ray Allen closed out 2010 with a bang though. Check out today’s Kicks On Court to see Ray Allen’s sneaker selection for his last game of 2010. In a losing effort against the New Orleans Hornets, Ray Allen laced up a White/Green-Metallic Gold Air Jordan 11 PE. If you recall, Allen debuted this Air Jordan 11 PE on opening night of the 2008-09 NBA season for the Boston Celtics’ ring ceremony. Is this the best Air Jordan 11 PE to date? Would you purchase this shoe if it ever retailed? View these kicks plus more, worn by Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose and others, below.

| Nice Kicks Staff Picks: Best of 2010 Posted: 01 Jan 2011 11:06 AM PST Each Saturday, the Nice Kicks teammates choose their favorite pair of kicks from the preceding week in our Staff Picks column. With all the great shoes we see, deciding on one as our favorite is always a challenge. Nonetheless, before we can begin our weekly feature for 2011, we have to review all of 2010, and make our own individual top ten lists. Which shoes did our team like the best? Check the entire list and then head to the comments section and let us know what you liked best from the past 365 days. Matt Halfhill10. Ronnie Fieg x ASICS Gel Lyte III “The Cove” Ronnie went in on this shoe using a shade of blue that the Asics didn’t even have on its color charts. A great shoe with an amazing colorway. 9. Star Wars x adidas Originals “Skywalker” When adidas first brought back this shoe, they called it the ‘SW’ for legal reasons, but for this new round the Three Stripes teamed with Lucas. With that guy on board, the original name was fair game. The Force is strong with this one. 8. Cody Hudson x Converse Product(RED) Chuck Taylor Sometimes you don’t need a theme or a color palette never used before to make a classic. Excellent materials, solid colors, and a very hard pair to chase down. Props to Converse First String. 7. Nike Air Max 2010 “Air Attack” Neon Two words: neck-breaker. 6. Air Jordan 1 “AJKO” This sneaker was one of the classics you thought would never return but did. I loved that these were not everywhere and that they were not easily accessible to every mall rat in America. This drop reminded me of the good ol’ days of chasing kicks. 5. Burn Rubber x New Balance MT580 This was Burn Rubber’s first footwear collaboration, but this will definitely not be its last. The Detroit-based team killed it on these MT580s and made one of the greatest colorways of all time on this classic silhouette. 4. Air Jordan 11 “Cool Grey” It was great to see this classic return, but I was a little bummed about the blue tinted soles. Imagine if these got the clear treatment and the Silver Anniversary’s got the blue soles? #imjustsayin 3. Parra x Patta x Nike Air Max 1 Premium Seriously, you just need to read the first two names on the line above and there is a damn good chance the shoe is going to be something epic. 2. Nike Air Max LeBron VII “All-Star” Insane color, insane materials, insane execution. Admit it, you liked LeBron before The Decision too. 1. Nike LeBron 8 “South Beach” The must-have of the year.

| Letter from the Editor: 2010 Year in Review Posted: 31 Dec 2010 04:54 PM PST Dear Nice Kicks readers, The past year has been a memorable one. Not only because of all the great products we have seen old and new, but the way the market has changed. It has been a very interesting one with some story lines and themes that we saw plant a seed and grow throughout the year. Our world is rapidly changing and so too is the business of sneakers, the culture of sneaker heads, and the community. So please, grab some popcorn, a drink, and maybe another snack just in case and explore with me the big stories and themes of 2010. Happy 2011!

| 18 Sneakers We’re Looking Forward to in 2011 Posted: 31 Dec 2010 01:55 PM PST In 2010, we witnessed a ton of superb sneaker releases from all of the brands. Highlights included the “Cool Grey” Air Jordan 11s, the “Infrared” Air Jordan 6 Pack, the Star Wars x adidas Originals Collection, the Under Armour Black Ice, the Reebok Zig Tech and the limitless amount of New Balance collabs and Converse First String releases. 2011 will be just as big, if not bigger on the sneaker front. Dating back to October, we have seen many previews of what’s to come next year such as the “Dark Neon Royal” Nike Air Foamposite One, the “Cement” Air Jordan 3s and the Swizz Beatz x Reebok joint effort, just to name a few. With that said, take a look at our 18 Sneakers We’re Looking Forward to in 2011. **Note** In addition to our 18 sneakers, we also have two bonuses and 10 honorable mentions that you should look out for in 2011.
