This week we caught wind of a return of the Nike Air Flightposite II in a limited edition metallic zinc colorway that got several basketball sneakerheads excited. We also received word of the official re-releasing of the ever-so-popular Nike Air Foamposite One Eggplant that last year also sent shoe fiends into a frenzy (yours truly included). Now we’d like to take the time to remind our readers that both of these Nike basketball silhouettes will be releasing in the mentioned colorways from select Nike retailers starting tomorrow, Saturday, March 6th. While the Nike Air Flightposite II releasing is retailing for $180 in adult sizes and should be worlds easier to get your hands on, the Eggplant Nike Air Foamposite One is going for the usual $200 price tag and will be much more difficult to get a hold of. Bottom line- plan ahead. Happy hunting!

We always see 1s pop up here and then, so most people don’t trip over them. But here we see a Air Jordan Alpha 1 that could be a big hit. This latest Air Jordan Alpha 1 comes in a very used colorway, as it features White, Black, and University Blue. All three colors are evenly placed on the shoe, which we usually don’t see. Black is seen on the Nike Swoosh, upper, lace holders, toe, heel, and other areas of the sneaker. White is used on the side panels, toe box, tongue, and part of the midsole. University Blue is placed on the inner liner, ankle logo, midsole, and is spread around the shoe. The design is finished off with a translucent outsole. Im not a big fan of 1s, but i can see these on my feet.

Here we get a preview of a smokin Nike Dunk High! This latest Nike Dunk High comes in a Grey/Royal Blue colorway. We haven’t seen much of the Dunk lately, so this is real nice to have. As you see, the shoe really pops and it catches your eyes right away. Grey is seen on the side panels, toe box, tongue, and ankle. The shoe laces also come in grey. Royal Blue pops right onto the outsole, toe, Nike Swoosh, lace holders, tongue tag, heel, and other areas of the sneaker. The only white on the sneaker is placed on the midsole. This is just an amazing sneaker. No release date has been announced, so keep it here for updates regarding the release date.

After showing you a Nike Blazer Vintage high in black/white, it seems as though Nike has used the inverse of that colorway as it returned to work on the Nike Blazer high AC. Pictured here is the latest Nike Blazer high AC we’ve seen with a predominantly white leather upper. Very minimal black accents come by way of a line that separates the sole from the upper and by way of a black heel tab. This shoe has already hit certain retailers, so make sure to check-in with your local Nike retailer to see if/when you’ll be able to take a look at these in person.

Especially made for the Spring of 2010, PF Flyers innovated their Center Hi into a Box Center Hi. There is the extra wrinkle shown in the chevron in the lower ankle section. The extra layers allow the wearer to sport it like a low cut or high cut shoe.

Regardless of its simple appeal, the Box Center Hi has modern hints of the ballistic nylon material that comes from beneath the canvas. The shoes has three available colorways in grey/orange, navy/yellow, and beige/red.

A couple of days ago we gave you a look at a Nike Blazer High Vintage that came in a Stone/Sail colorway. Well here we see yet another Blazer High Vintage. This one comes in a simple Black/White colorway. This one looks a little less Vintage than the last one that we saw. Now onto the details of the sneaker. It features a smooth black suede upper. Clean white is used on the Nike Swoosh, shoe laces, tongue tag, and ankle. Vintage effects are seen on the midsole and tongue, which is where they are always placed. Many people dont like the Vintage look including myself, but maybe it adds a touch of class. Look for these to drop sometime this April.

The 2010 NBA Slam Dunk Contest was noting to brag about. It was one of the most boring Dunk Contests ever seen. Well one of the participants in the Dunk Contest was DeMar DeRozan, Guard for the Toronto Raptors. Off all the participants i think he was the best, and he should have walked away with the trophy. But DeRozan has something that the other participants don’t have. Over this past season, DeRozan has received five Nike Zoom Kobe V Player Exclusives. Thats a lot for Player Exclusives for a Rookie. All five PEs were Revealed via DeRozans Twitter. Of the five, four of them come in the Toronto Raptors team colors. The other pair is different, as it comes in a white/blue colorway. DeRozans jersey number, 10, is seen near the collar on all five pairs. All these PEs are real nice, and you wouldn’t expect these to be for DeRozan. Which one do you like the best?

Just yesterday we came upon a couple of new images of the Air Jordan IV Silver Anniversary, which sneaker/Air Jordan fans are still torn about because of things such as its resemblance to the “Pure $” AJ IV of 2006. Now we’d like to show you a couple of new images from perhaps the most coveted Air Jordan Silver Anniversary silhouette- the XI. This model comes with a completely white upper, transluscent sole, and NO Air Jordan jumpman on the heel. Enjoy the pictures as we await this particular Silver Anniversary Air Jordan sneaker’s release date.

Last week we reported that the “Silver Anniversary” Air Jordan 3 Retro, Air Jordan 4 Retro, and Air Jordan 9 Retro would release on March 20th, 2010. However, Jordan Brand has decided to change the release date for all three sneakers. This time they will release on March 27th, 2010, which is only a week away from the original release date. Everything else will remain the same. All shoes will still be sold at different retailers, just to make sure you work hard for your pair. So for everyone that was waiting for the release, you will just have to wait a week longer. Let us know what you think about Jordan Brands decision to delay the release. But please no harsh words.

Kevin Durant has to be in the top 5 when you think about the MVPs this season. He is becoming a tremendous athlete and that means more sneakers from Nike, which is always a good thing. Here we see a Nike KD2 Player Exclusive that was worn by Kevin Durant last night against the Sacramento Kings. Durants box score included 39 points and 10 rebounds, which is not big for Durants game. The shoe comes in the Oklahoma City Thunder team colors. The shoe is Kevin Durants own signature model, so he’s no stranger to this sneaker.

The Air Jordan PHLY Legend hasn’t been seen much of late. Its because Jordan Brand is focusing on their new models. Well here we see one, and it does not disappoint me a bit. This Air Jordan PHLY Legend was given to Carmelo Anthony as a Player Exclusive. Most of the shoe is made of pebbled leather, but patent leather is also present on the sneaker. Mustard yellow is seen on the the Jordan Wings logo, lace holders, inner lining, and other areas of the sneaker. White patent leather is seen on the toe box, while a cement print is placed on the side of the toe area. I cant hate on this sneaker, but let us know what you think of these.
