Nike Sportswear “Destroy With Speed” Destroyer Jackets

Posted: 06 Feb 2011 12:23 PM PST

Nike Sportswear "Super Bowl" Destroyer Jackets

We already know what the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers players will wear on the field today; however, Nike has given us a sneak peek at what a few of the brand members will wear as they walk into the Cowboys Stadium. In detail, Packers players Aaron Rodgers/Donald Driver and Steelers players Hines Ward/Troy Polamalu will wear their new customized Nike Sportswear “Destroy With Speed” Destroyer Jackets prior to stepping onto the field for Super Bowl XLV.

Each jacket features personal details and specifications that pertain to the respective player such as number patches, position and embroidery. These patches are inspired and represent the athlete’s rise and their journey. As for the color scheme, the “Destroy With Speed” customized jackets are mainly colored in black as are the aforementioned patches. Minimal volt green hints represent speed. View detailed photos of the Nike Sportswear “Destroy With Speed” Destroyer Jackets below.

Also, Nike Sportswear Destroyer Jacket personalization is now available to the public at Bowery Stadium NYC.

adidas MEGA Torsion XTH Black/Blue

The adidas MEGA Torsion XTH trainer debuted last fall, combining the proven Torsion and new MEGA technologies. A cross trainer intended for use in multiple sports, this sneaker displays a very aggressive style. Fittingly, a bright blue is utilized on this latest release, which just landed at select retailers. The remainder of the shoe is black, helping the forefoot pop even more. Finish Line has this adidas in stock now.

Kicks On Court Weekly Recap – Fab 5

Posted: 05 Feb 2011 01:58 PM PST

Kicks On Court Weekly Recap

This week, our Kicks On Court noticed the debut of many new sneakers on the NBA hardwoods. LeBron James scored 51 points while rocking the “Cool Grey” Nike LeBron 8 V2, and Gilbert Arenas continued to impress with sneakers such as the “Dark Neon Royal” Nike Air Foamposite One and the Black/Varsity Royal “Foamposite” Jordan 6 Rings. Dwight Howard debuted a new variation of his signature adidas shoe and Rajon Rondo surprisingly laced up one of Kobe’s sneakers. Also, see what Brandon Jennings sported in his return from a foot injury. View our Kicks On Court Weekly Recap – Fab 5 in its entirety below.

LeBron James

Maybe LeBron James should put the White/Black-Sport Red Nike LeBron 8 V2 away and start rocking the “Cool Grey” Nike LeBron 8 V2 on a consistent basis. King James torched the Orlando Magic for 51 points on the same day he debuted the “Cool Grey” Nike LeBron 8 V2 on court.

Gilbert Arenas

Gilbert Arenas officially has Kicks On Court on lock (as if he already didn’t). The Nike Air Foamposite One “Dark Neon Royal” is undoubtedly one of the most highly-anticipated retro releases of the year, and Arenas is the first to debut this retro on court. Is this Arenas’ best sneaker selection of the year?

Rajon Rondo

Rajon Rondo in the "Rice" Nike Zoom Kobe VI

Did we really see a Boston Celtic wearing Kobe VIs? A few nights ago, Rajon Rondo laced up the “Rice” Nike Zoom Kobe VI to many people’s surprise. We would probably never see Kobe rocking these due to the conflicting color schemes, so it’s pretty cool to see the “Rice” Kobe VIs on court no matter who is wearing them.

Brandon Jennings

Brandon Jennings in the Under Armour Black Ice Low

We’re happy to finally see Brandon Jennings back on the court after his foot injury. Prior to the injury, Jennings rocked multiple colorways of the Under Armour Black Ice, and since his return, we have seen him in the Under Armour Black Ice Low. Which one is more appealing to you?

Dwight Howard

Over the past couple of months, we have spotted a limitless amount of adidas Super Beast photos to say the least. Our Kicks On Court finally witnessed Dwight Howard wearing the adidas Super Beast on court. We look forward to seeing more colorways such as the “All-Star” and “St. Patrick’s Day” variations.
