Converse Chuck Taylor AS Premium OX

Gotta love Spring! These shoes are so clean – simple colors in a unique raw canvas with an oiled caramel leather tongue label to dress it up a bit. I have my fingers crossed that these eventually end up stateside.

Gilbert Arenas continues his shocking sneaker selections throughout the second half of the 2010-2011 NBA season. He started the second half of the season in the OG Air Jordan 9, and last night, our Kicks On Court spotted him in a recently-released Air Jordan 6 colorway. Gilbert Arenas scored six points and dished out four assists while wearing the “Beijing Olympic” Air Jordan 6. To coincide with the 2008 Olympic Games, Jordan Brand released this sneaker in the summer of that year. It features multiple colors such as varsity red, green bean, new blue and yellow which represent the Olympic rings. Is this one of Arenas’ better selections?

Posted: 25 Feb 2011 05:58 PM PST

Nike LeBron 8 PS "Dunkman"

Earlier this week, photos of the “Dunkman” Nike LeBron 8 PS surfaced to many sneaker enthusiast’s liking. Although many of you prefer the Nike LeBron 8 V2 over the Nike LeBron 8 PS, there is no denying this particular colorway of LeBron’s 2011 NBA playoffs shoe. The metallic silver fuse-laced upper is contrasted nicely by neon green hints in the form of the Air sole unit, the laces, lion head tongue and inner lining. Stay tuned because release information should surface soon.
