When Kevin Durant decided to enter the NBA after just one year of college basketball, he didn’t disappoint, and neither have his shoes. The KD2 looks to improve upon the first model, starting with this, which represents the Thunder’s away uniform. It has a primarily black upper, with black safari print on the strap and sides, contrasted by blue and orange accents. I’ll post up a release date as soon as it becomes available.
These have been on the Net for a little while now, but after posting the Six Rings, I realized that I never posted them. Jordan Brand also created a special pair of Air Jordan VIs for the Jordan Motorsports team. It has a similar color scheme as the Six Rings, with a white upper, and blacked outsole.

I don’t usually post boots, but these looked pretty cool to me, so I thought I’d share. Teaming up with designer Hiroshi Fujiwara, Nike has created this blacked out Chukka version of its Special Forces Boot. Simple and clean, just the way a boot should be.
Now that the 2009-10 NBA season is in full effect more and more Kobe V colorways are popping up. You’ll see Kobe and many of his Lakers teammates wearing these during the road games. This pair has a black and purple upper, with a maize swoosh and accents.

Out of all the Jordan Brand releases, the 6 Rings has probably been on of the most well-received models, so it’s no surprise to see Jordan Brand create this pair for the Jordan Motorsports team.
The team, which usually changes its theme every season, has decided go with an all business, no-nonsense white/black color scheme for season 6. As you can see below, Jordan Brand has incorporated this theme into the team-exclusive Six Rings as well. This pair has an all-white upper with a blacked-out sole, topped off with an elephant print sockliner.

Today I’ve got a few shots of Chris Paul’s latest sneaker, the CP3.III. This colorway matches the New Orleans Hornets’ uniform, and has an upper that consists of black suede and white leather, a black speckled midsole, and ablue outsole that matches the upper’s accents. The CP3.III will hit shelves on 1/2/2010, just in time to start the new year off right.
Here’s a new color of Nike’s Big Nike sneaker. This pair has a black nubuck suede upper, contrasted by a blue leather swoosh, toebox, and heel, and a white midsole. Great colorway, it looks very familiar to a certain Air Jordan pair from the past.
Just wanted to give you guys another look at the upcoming white/black Air Jordan 6 Retro colorway. This pair has a white and black upper, using a combination of full-grain leather for the white areas, and nubuck suede for the black areas. The midsole and heel are black with white speckles, and of course you can’t leave out that icy clear outsole. The White/Black Air Jordan VI Retro will be available next year.

Nike has gone lowtop with its most advanced basketball sneaker so far, the Hyperdunk. The Hyperdunk lows will feature the same Flywire technology as the high, and with a little off the top, they should be even lighter. The colorway has a white and black upper, with red accents and a partially speckled midsole.
Take a look at this pair of Air Jordan XX3 Low player exclusives, created for Jared Jeffries to wear during the 2007-2008 NBA season. This pair has a black upper, with red and blue stitching, contrasted by a blue outsole. On the left tongue, you’ll find Jefferies’ number #20, instead of MJ’s number.
DJ Clark Kent has collaborated with Nike once again to create a yet another Air Force 1 colorway. Featuring mostly earth-tone colors, this pair uses dark brown premium leather on the toe, swoosh, and heel areas, tan ostrich leather on the side, and mesh on the toe box. A cartoon character has been placed on the insole. This is a great color scheme that will perfect with a pair of jeans. The DJ Clark Kent AF1 Lows will be available on 12/19/2009.

Nike has created a new colorway of its classic Blazer High sneaker to pay tribute to director Spike Lee. This pair features a white perforated upper, red swoosh, and a black sole and heel, all colors that were used frequently in his 1989 film “Do the Right Thing.” On the front on the tongue, you’ll find an image of Spike Lee’s trademark glasses, along with “Brooklyn”, Lee’s hometown, written on the other side. The Spike Lee Blazer High will be available later this month.
By combining Air Jordans I and XX, Jordan Brand has come up with this interesting pair of Air Jordan 1 Retros. It has a white patent leather upper, red at the top, with a black heel and outsole.

Take a look at this unreleased pair of Air Jordan 14s, made for the Jordan Motorsports team. It has a black nubuck suede upper and midsole, and on the inner side, you’ll find MJ’s number on the right shoe, and the Jumpman on the left one. Quite simple, but at the same time a very clean and stealthy colorway. Good luck getting your hands on a pair.
