If you're a basketball fan like I am, you recognize these shoes from this years' All Star Weekend.  Players in the Rookie/Sophomore game wore these in this colorway as well as the Red colorway. The adidas AdiPure Men's Basketball Shoe, looks to be a great performance basketball shoe. In this or the red colorway, you will not go unnoticed on the court. Grab these or the red All Star colorway for $70 at finishline.com.

Nike Air Max BB 360 Low

The Nike Air Max BB 360 Low, in my opinion, is one of those shoes that people either love or hate. Personally, I love them. I have not have the opportunity to try them on yet, but, I do plan on rectifying that soon. When pictures of them first surfaced I was immediately intrigued by them. This particular colorway was my automatic favorite. It reminded so much of the sample Air Max Lebron VII Lows that Jason Petrie wore during the launch of the Lebron 8 "South Beach".
If this colorway is too much for you, don't worry Nike has released a plethora of colorways that are sure to satisfy every consumer's wants. At a cost of $140, they are a little bit pricey, but based on the ones I have seen in person they are definitely worth it. You can get your pair from nikestore.com, Finishline, Eastbay and most other major sneaker retailers.

Adidas Crazy Light

Basketball players are always looking to gain an advantage over their opponents, one of the best ways to have such an advantage is through their footwear. The Adidas Crazy Light, is the lightest performance basketball sneaker, ever. That title was previously held by, Kobe Bryant with his signature line, but coming in at a scant 9.8 ounces, the Adidas Crazy Light has usurped it. In this video Robbie Fuller, Category Designer for Adidas basketball, breaks down the key features of this new sneaker. Look for it in stores in June.

Nike Zoom KDIII Review by SamColt12

The Nike Zoom KDIII, is the 3rd signature shoe designed for all star forward, Kevin Durant. The first time I saw these I wasn't too impressed, but, once more colorways began to release my opinions of them changed. This particular version is a sample designed for him and his love of video games. Samcolt12 has the most extensive video reviews for this sneaker and watching them made me become more intrigued with the shoe. Once I am able to, I will load his most recent review of one latest colorways to drop, the Wolf Grey/Del Sol /Vibrant Yellow/White. I really love that colorway and might consider getting a pair myself. At $90, the Nike Zoom KDIII's are a bargain when considering basketball shoes, especially the signature lines.

The Nike Dunk has been a classic for Nike since the early 80's. The Air Jordan 1 was actually a Nike Dunk that was customized for him with the wings logo attached. They recently realeased a QS (Quickstrike) version of the Dunk High AC. This particular release was actually a fusion between the regular Dunk Highs and the Nike Blazer Vintage. Check out this piece about them from nicekicks.com. http://www.nicekicks.com/2011/02/nike-dunk-high-ac-vntg-qs/. All of the colorways are available right now on nikestore.com for $80.

Nike Lebron 8 PS

Even though I am an avid Kobe Bryant and Laker fan (or fanatic, if you ask my wife), I would be the less than honest if I told you I didn't respect the game that Lebron James plays. He is a truly great player, but the thing for me that really sets him apart from other basketball players is his signature shoe line with Nike. The way that the designers are able to combine perfomance, comfort and esthetics is truly incredible, surpassed only by Mr. Jordan. Here is the chief designer of the sneaker, Jason Petrie, discussing the 3rd and final version of his latest sneaker.

Air Yeezy 2 Sighting

Let the hype begin, over the weekend pictures surfaced of Kanye West wearing what appears to be an early sample of his second sneaker. His first signature sneaker, the Nike Air Yeezy, became an instant classic when they were released in 2009. Some pairs go for as much as $2k on ebay. Check out this link from nicekicks.com and share your thoughts on them. http://www.nicekicks.com/2011/04/kanye-west-wears-nike-air-yeezy-2-coachella/
