| Bring ‘em Back: Air Jordan 8 Black/Chrome Posted: 03 Apr 2011 12:43 PM PDT The “Aquas” and the “Playoffs” get a lot of shine, but you know what’d we really like to see comeback? The Air Jordan 8 Black/Chrome. Whether it was their Raiders steeze or just easy to wear color combo, the “Chrome” 8s rank high as one of the best non-OG colorways. We got the “Blackout” 2011s this weekend which could be a future classic but we haven’t seen these in nearly eight years. Yo JB, bring ‘em back!

| Jordan Phase 23 Hoops Black/White-Dark Charcoal Posted: 03 Apr 2011 11:58 AM PDT Today, another colorway of Jordan Phase 23 Hoops has been added to the extensive list of summer basketball kicks. This pair takes a much more stealthy approach with an all-black upper that is highlighted with hints of white in the form of branding, the heel strap and midsole. In addition, hits of dark charcoal can be seen on the side panel giving this pair a similar scheme seen on the Air Jordan 2011 “Blackout”. View additional photos below. Jordan Phase 23 Hoops

| Posted: 03 Apr 2011 11:13 AM PDT The Nike LeBron “Dunkman” colorway has become a favorite amongst sneakerheads. Today, the volt based colorway makes a return on the always-classic Nike Blazer Mid. The colorway, which has already dropped at select retailers, features a predominately grey upper that is composed of a smooth grained leather. This is complimented with volt colored tongue, laces, and heel tab. The last detail that should be noted is the use of a perforated instead of stitched Swoosh. The bright colors and reduction of materials sets up for this pair to be a great Summer mid-top. As stated above, this pair is already in stores so head to your local Nike retailer to pickup a pair today.

| Jordan CMFT Air Max 10 Black/Medium Grey-White Posted: 03 Apr 2011 10:28 AM PDT Comfort, style and versatility are all words that describe the new CMFT Max Air line by Jordan Brand. In addition to the three-sneaker Jordan CMFT Max Air 10 lineup that releases next Saturday, we have spotted another colorway of this peculiar shoe. This pair features a completely black upper with a white midsole and a grey outsole. In addition, a 360-degree Air Unit ensures a comfortable fit, while a patent leather toe cap adds a little flash.

| Posted: 02 Apr 2011 03:43 PM PDT This week, we spotted a number of never-before-seen beauties that garnered a lot of attention. The “Sprite” Nike LeBron 8 V2 Low quenched everybody’s thirst, while the Nike Air Max JR "Cincinnati Reds" intrigued a few Griffey fans. Also, the South Beach” Air Jordan 6 Custom had many wishing it was an actual release. We also constructed features around the UCONN Huskies and the aforementioned “Sprite” Nike LeBron 8 V2 Low. Take a look at these articles, plus others, in our This Week In Sneaks column. Today, Jordan Brand released the “Blackout” Air Jordan 2011. Did you purchase or pass on this shoe? Sometimes, custom designs attract sneaker enthusiasts more than the actual shoe. That is the case with the recently-shown Air Jordan 6 “South Beach” Custom. Besides the “Infrared” Air Jordan 6 Pack, no Air Jordan 6 release gained as much as attention as this custom last year. Is this one of the best custom designs you have seen to date? Recently, Wale revealed (on Twitter) that he would be sending clothing and sneakers to the Nigeria. Following that tweet, he showed a photo of multiple Foamposites in which he will soon ship to the African country. We applaud Wale for supporting the country with footwear. The “Wolf Grey” Air Jordan 5 is not the only colorway of MJ’s fifth signature shoe to look out for this year. Jordan Brand will also re-release the Air Jordan 5 Black/Metallic Silver this summer. The Nike LeBron 8 V2 Low “Sprite” was one of the hottest topics in the sneaker community this week. How does this colorway of the LeBron 8 V2 compare to its predecessors? The Nike Air Max JR, a hybrid of multiple Ken Griffey Jr. signature models, is set to release in a number of colorways this spring/summer. Take a look at the Nike Air Max JR "Cincinnati Reds". Today, UCONN takes on Kentucky in one of the Final Four games. To coincide with the Huskies success, check out our Roster Rewind: Best Shoes Worn by the ’04 UCONN Huskies. As we mentioned earlier, the “Sprite” Nike LeBron 8 V2 Low raised a lot of eyebrows this week. However, we have spotted many other drink-inspired sneakers over the years. Take a look at our Sneaker Suds: Our 17 Favorite Drink Inspired Kicks. Check out some of your favorite celebrities, such as Wale, Nelly, Tracy Morgan, LeBron James and others, in our Celebrity Sneaker Stalker. Is this the best Air Jordan 2011 we have seen thus far? © George Kiel III for NiceKicks.com, 2011. | Permalink | 4 comments | Add to del.icio.us |
| Posted: 02 Apr 2011 02:58 PM PDT Two Nikes, two Vans and a lone upcoming Air Jordan make up this week’s round of Staff Picks. Clearly the team was all over the map the last few days, with everything from Hawaiian Authentics to neutral grey Nikes being selected. If you pay attention to this column weekly, you can probably guess who chose those. Check out our favorites from this week and let us know what you liked best in the comments section. George Kiel III Colors are supposed to come alive in the spring time, but I like to keep it grey based year round. This medium grey AM90 is just what I need for the spring/summer season. Grey leather, grey mesh and minimal white hints combine nicely on this iconic silhouette.

| Jordan Phase 23 Hoops Wolf Grey/Green Apple Posted: 02 Apr 2011 02:13 PM PDT The Jordan Phase 23 Hoops is a sneaker that specializes in the demands of everyday basketball usage. From the silhouette alone, one can see that Jordan Brand took breathability and stability into high consideration with this model. This pair features a predominately grey upper with hints of black on the forefoot strap, apple green on the inner liner, branding/heel and white on the midsole and tongue. View detailed photos below.

| Kicks On Court Weekly Recap – Fab Five Posted: 02 Apr 2011 01:28 PM PDT Our Kicks On Court column is beginning to heat up with the 2011 playoffs not too far away. Gilbert Arenas became the first NBA player to rock the “Metallic Pewter” Nike Air Foamposite One, while LeBron James laced up a never-before-seen Nike LeBron 8 V2 colorway. We welcomed Michael Redd back to the court after a long injury-riddled season and spotted Matt Barnes exiting a game before the final buzzer while wearing a Snoop Dogg inspired shoe. Lastly, Brandon Jennings wore yet another new colorway of his signature model. Check out this week’s Kicks On Court Weekly Recap – Fab Five.  Gilbert Arenas (rear) wearing the "Metallic Pewter" Nike Air Foamposite One Gilbert Arenas may not post difference-making numbers on a nightly basis, but sneaker game remains intact. On Wednesday night, he became the first NBA player to rock the “Metallic Pewter” Nike Air Foamposite One on court. Did you purchase or pass on these?  Michael Redd wearing the Nike Hyperdunk 2010 Sure, we have seen better PEs than the Nike Hyperdunk 2010 Michael Redd has in this photo; however, we are happy to the left-handed gunslinger on the court again. Before the injuries, Michael Redd was easily one of, if not the best shooter in the league.  LeBron James wearing a new Nike LeBron 8 V2 Unlike the past couple of years, Nike has lessened the amount of colorways on LeBron James’ signature shoe this season. Yet, he garnered a lot of attention by wearing an “Away” red/black-varsity maize Nike LeBron 8 V2 Tuesday night in his return to Cleveland. Many of you stated that this may be a top five LeBron 8 V2 colorway and rightfully so.  Brandon Jennings wearing a white/red Under Armour Black Ice Low Lately, Brandon Jennings has been wearing a number of Under Armour Black Ice colorways. He owned a spot in last week’s Kicks On Court Weekly Recap – Fab Five thanks to his Gucci-esque Black Ice Lows. This week, he was spotted in a white/red Under Armour Black Ice Low colorway.  Matt Barnes in the "Snoop Dogg" adidas adiPure and Jason Terry wearing the "Jet Shark" Reebok Zig Slash Matt Barnes supported one of the Lakers’ biggest fans Thursday night against the Dallas Mavericks. He laced up the “Snoop Dogg” adidas adiPure, a sneaker that Snoop Dogg has rocked to a few of the games at the Staples Center. © George Kiel III for NiceKicks.com, 2011. | Permalink | 4 comments | Add to del.icio.us |
