Nike Zoom Kobe VI Purple/Black-White 'Gradient'

Earlier today, our Kicks On Court showcased Carmelo Anthony rocking the Jordan Melo M7 White/Navy in his New York Knicks debut. However, we also noticed a few other intriguing sneaker moments. Kobe Bryant debuted this new Nike Zoom Kobe VI Purple/Black-White ‘Gradient’ on court in a game against the Portland Trail Blazers. We usually see a gradient elements going from the toe area to the heel; yet, this Kobe VI possesses a purple-to-black fade from the tongue to the area just above the midsole. Other features include a white swoosh, a white midsole, among other hints. View detailed photos below.

Nike Toki Premium Summit White

Posted: 24 Feb 2011 11:58 AM PST

Nike Toki Premium Summit White

Summer, Summer, Summer Time! Okay, maybe we’re a bit ahead of ourselves, but warmer weather is right around the corner. That means a couple of things, but most importantly it means white kicks are a must. Nike jumped the gun with this latest Toki Premium release, using soft, buttery Summit White leather for its upper. Delightfully void of any flash, this Toki is still not without its fair share of details. The midsole stripe, along with most of the eyelets, is a very dark grey. Dusty Sage is the chosen hue of the top eyelets on either side of the midfoot and a sewn-on Swoosh has been replaced with perforations, similar to the Anthracite Toki Premium we recently saw release. These warm weather-ready Nikes are available now at Nice Kicks and via Shop.NiceKicks.com.

Video: N.E.R.D X UNDFTD X PUMA – What Makes a Shoe Classic?

Posted: 24 Feb 2011 11:13 AM PST

What makes a shoe classic? In Pharrell’s words, what makes a really good design versus something that comes out of nowhere, goes way and doesn’t really have a classic feel? In the video above, N.E.R.D. members Pharrell and Shay sit down with UNDFTD’s KB and Eddie Cruz to talk about what makes a shoe classic. The crew also touched on subjects including the UNDFTD x PUMA collaboration and N.E.R.D.’s performance in Las Vegas, and the history of the PUMA Clyde.

Nike Air Max Fly By Amar’e Stoudemire “Home” PE

Posted: 24 Feb 2011 10:28 AM PST

Nike Air Max Fly By Amar'e Stoudemire "Home" PE

Amar’e Stoudemire is having a career year in his new home of New York this season, and he’s doing it in a Zoom Huarache Trainer. Nevertheless, his handlers at Nike Basketball designed a special Air Max Fly By for him, should he opt to change kicks later this season. The Knicks’ home colors lend themselves to this shoe, which possesses a white Hyperfuse upper with an orange outsole and foxing/strap. The blue Swoosh and strap logo finish the Big Apple colorway. If Amar’e decides to break these out later this year, or better yet if they hit stores, would you try to grab a pair?

Michael Jordan Rocks Air Jordan 2011 in Bobcats Practice

Posted: 24 Feb 2011 09:43 AM PST

Michael Jordan wearing the Air Jordan 2011

Have you ever wondered what Michael Jordan laces up on and off the court these days. Gone are the days we witnessed MJ destroying opposing NBA players while rocking some classic signature sneakers; therefore, when we do spot him in public, we are always checking to see if he’s rocking some heat. Recently, Michael Jordan practiced with the Charlotte Bobcats while wearing the Air Jordan 2011. In detail, he laced up the white/black-anthracite Air Jordan 2011 that released this past Saturday, along with two other colorways. Obviously, we do not know which interchangeable sole MJ opted for; however, which flight (blue=quick, red=explosive) coincides with MJ’s game best? View additional photos of MJ wearing the Air Jordan 2011 below.
