Might be awhile before you see D Rose rocking these on the court, but a sneak peek at the adidas Adizero Rose 3.0.

New logo...

Side by side with the 2.5.  Check out more pics here at Hoops China.

We Talkin' Bout Practice!

Dropping today - Allen Iverson's first signature shoe, the Reebok "Question".  Man, I'm tempted!

Sneaker Con Chicago 2012

I wasn't in town this past weekend, but the Sneaker Con event dropped by Chicago (sponsored by adidas, Leaders1354 & New Era).  Despite all the madness during the NATO Summit that weekend, the event was a success.  You can see dozens of the event pics here (courtesy of Sneaker News)

Amaized

 

You best believe I will be putting some red LBJ laces in these...

Whether you call these "Taxis" or "Maizes", this is definitely my favorite colorway of the Lebron 9 Elite.

Are these worth the $250 tag? Probably not.  But these sure beat the Lebron 8 P.S. from last season.

Cool box, too!

 

Out Of Thin Air

Today 21 Mercer dropped an announced size run of the Nike Galaxy Foamposites...

If Nike did releases like this, I would absolutely love it.

These will drop elsewhere...just watch. Trust :)

Fit For A King

Say hello to my new summer beachwear...the South Beach Lebron 9 slide!

..."Miami Vice" colorway...

...and super comfy Air Max soles...

 Slide, slide, slippedity slide! 

Debutante

Both Lebron & Kobe ditched their Elites for their original signature models in PE colorways...

First, the King wore his MVP Lebron 9 vs the Pacers after receiving his third MVP award.  The Heat won Game 1 over the Pacers...

Meanwhile, Kobe unveiled a PE colorway of his Kobe 7 Supreme, reminiscent of the Kobe 5 "Bruce Lee"...

Unfortunately for Kobe, the Thunder walloped the Lakers by 29 in Game 1.

 

Ga Ga Goo Goo!

If I haven't told you guys yet, my wife is expecting our first child in August. So my sneaker addiction will have to take the backburner.

Yeah, right!

I plan on having my kid having more "heat" than me!  Peep the latest pick-ups for my soon-to-be little one...

...Kobe Air Force 1 Low PE...

...Kobe 5 "Maizes"...

I heart speckles...

...and the Lebron 7 "Think Pink/Gloria" PE...

Would love these in men!

What The...

"What The Kobe" ZK7s.  C'mon now....

Zero Tolerance

After being a Nike loyalist for years in the running department (with an occasional dabbling with New Balance performance runners), my first pair of adidas Adizero running shoes...

As I get back into running for the summer months, I'll let you know how these perform.

Usually I run in a LunarEclipse/LunarGlide/Air Max Moto, so we'll see how these compare.

LeBreezy

Yeezy 2 sighting on the King?  At the press conference after Knicks win yesterday.

Hot Rod

It's hard to believe this model is over 40 years old.  The adidas Rod Laver is one of my favorite go-to casual shoes because of its simple look and always appealing colorways...

The was originally one of the first "signature" sneakers ever - a tennis shoe designed for Rod Laver in 1970.

And tell me this "iron" colorway won't be sick with some jeans...

Double Your Pleasure

At Madison Square Garden last night for Game 3 of Heat/Knicks, we were treated to two new PE colorways...

LeBron James rocked his third straight PE colorway of the Lebron 9 Elite last night (black/varsity red)...

...and Spike wore his PE "Knicks"Foamposite.

Hungry Like The Wolf, Part 2

Someone is wearing these in the NBA Playoffs...and it's not Kobe Bryant (Landry Fields).  Peep the "Wolf" Kobe 7 System.  Probably the best GR colorway, IMHO.

These are not to be confused with the black/wolf grey pair that came out earlier this year.

Knockin' The Boots

Cole Haan is now releasing a boot ("chukka") model of its LunarGrand platform.  Available at their SoHo store next week; unknown release for the masses.  Your thoughts?
