The Good, the Bad & the Ugly

Seeing the Air Jordan 11 "Concord" retro for the first time wasn't good, it was great. Who's lining up already? While the "Concords" were certainly the story of the week and the focus of the rest of the year we big up and question a couple of the sneaker stories and sightings from the past seven days. What are we talking about? Good question, read on to find out.

Reebok Insta Pump Fury “Jacket Pack” Navy/Yellow/White

Posted: 31 Jul 2011 01:28 PM PDT

Reebok Insta Pump Fury "Jacket Pack" Navy/Yellow/White

The Reebok Insta Pump Fury is a sneaker designed for comfort and exuberant appearances. The silhouette alone is enough to break necks. Today, however, a limited edition colorway has surfaced that looks to add to that feel. This pair features a navy based leather and suede upper that is complimented with yellow accents on the midsole and inner liner. White and brown accents can also be seen on the tongue, tongue tab, heel, heel tab and outsole, giving this pair a very distinct look. The pair is finally finished off with a raised texture on the midsole, a design we’ve never seen. Look for this pair to release at select overseas retailers.

fragment design x Nike All Court 2 High

Posted: 31 Jul 2011 12:43 PM PDT

fragment design x Nike All Court 2 High

The Nike All Court 2 High is essentially a slimmed down version of the classic Nike All Court High. As part of a collaboration with fragment design, Nike will be releasing three new colorways of this lifestyle sneaker. All three pairs feature canvas based uppers and come in white, navy and black. Interesting is also the fact that there is no Swoosh on the upper or any other form of branding. Will any of these make it into your collection?

Nike Air Flow

For those not able to get their hands on the Nike Air Flow “OG” Lineup earlier this summer, Nike will be re-releasing this classic runner in a new, two-some of colorways.

Posted: 30 Jul 2011 05:28 PM PDT

Nike Air Max Skyline

Although not as popular as such models as the Nike Air Max 1, Nike Air Max 90 and Nike Air Max 95, the Nike Air Max Skyline has definitely earned a reputation as one of the more reputable runners of recent times. This relatively new model is both cool and comfortable, sporting a breathable mesh upper as well as a great overall shape and overlay pattern. Today’s colorway features a clean white mesh base that is complimented with hints of grey suede as well as a black synthetic material on the heel cup and side mud-guard. The pair is finished off with bright gold and blue accents on the Swoosh, lace eyelets, heel tab and branding. Check out more images below and head to your local Nike store to pickup a pair today.

Nice Kicks Staff Picks

Posted: 30 Jul 2011 02:43 PM PDT

Nice Kicks Staff Picks

Naturally, one pair of kicks this week caused a bit of a debate over who could make it their staff pick. But besides the Concords, a rangy selection was chosen. Bright wasn't a problem for one teamer, while another found a new adidas he'd like to take to the court. Which was your favorite pair from this week? Let us know in the comments section.

George Kiel III

Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011

Summer time is here, therefore, the loud color schemes shouldn’t be hard to find. Although I like subtle, grey based shoes, I’ll play basketball in just about anything. I’m really looking forward to the Nike Hyperdunk 2011 release, and this might be the pair I snag.

Under Armour Micro G Clutch Graphite & Red

Could these be Kemba's kicks? While we're still unsure whether or not we'll see a signature, or a season for that matter, the Under Armour Micro G Clutch is the next up for UA. Seen previously in Black and Forest based makeups, Red and Graphite pairs follow suit. Suede and synthetic finishes compose the upper while the popular Micro G cushioning completes the ride. Available at Finish Line.

Celebrity Rewind: Damon Wayans Sports “Concord” Jordan 11s in Celtic Pride

Posted: 29 Jul 2011 02:58 PM PDT

Celebrity Rewind: Damon Wayans Sports "Concord" Jordan 11s in Celtic Pride

Celtic Pride, great movie or greatest movie? We'll leave that one to the critics, but leave the sneaker sightings to us. The 1996 flick stars Damon Wayans as Lewis Scott, a selfish shooting guard kidnapped by two avid Celtics fans played by Daniel Stern and Dan Akroyd. Scott hoops in the Air Jordan 11 "Concord" and even plugs them in a Nike ad. What makes them rare is that they're OGs, what makes them extra rare is that they're worn with a Utah Jazz uniform. We're still waiting on that sequel with Prime Time…

Movie: Celtic Pride
Actor: Damon Wayans
Kicks: Air Jordan 11 “Concord”
Year: 1996

Air Jordan 13 Fred Jones PE

Posted: 29 Jul 2011 02:57 PM PDT

Air Jordan 13 Fred Jones PE

Few careers see as much heat as that of Fred Jones. A college start at Oregon and an NBA run with Jordan Brand made the PEs plentiful. This Pacers colorway Air Jordan 13 made for Jones ranks high. White tumbled leather and yellow suede compose the upper with "FJ 20" hitting the tongue and navy taking the outsole. Try your luck on this pair at eBay.
