If the Air Jordan IXs we just showed you didn’t make your jaws drop all the way to the floor, these definitely will do the trick. Here we have a second player exclusive that has surfaced, made especially for Marcus Jordan. The young shooting guard, who has access to some of the best basketball advice in the world (i.e. his father), also has access to some of the dopest Jordans on the court.
This player exclusive comes in the form of an Air Jordan II with a white, navy and orange colorway. The sole features a navy mid-sole with a white and orange out-sole. On the upper the dominant color is white, with textured leather around the mid section accented by orange and navy trim. The heel rand is done up with orange as well, while the laces are navy to go along with the mid-sole. Unfortunately, like most player exclusives these are not set for any type of release, but be sure to peep the photos below. via Kenlu

If all the player exclusives of Air Jordan signature kicks makes you feel bad about your collection, these Air Jordan IX made exclusively for Marcus Jordan (MJ’s son) won’t make you feel great but you can still appreciate the beauty of these sneakers. Even though he’s still in high school, Marcus Jordan still gets his fair share of PEs in a colorway that goes with his Whitney Young High School colors.
The shoe features a glossy, orange mid-sole with the orange continuing on the upper in the form of patent leather along the lower part, up the heel and on the lace-holes. The rest of the shoe is white with a university blue Jumpman on the white part of the mid-sole. Marcus even gets his number, 9 , embroidered on the back part of these IXs in university blue. Unless you’re related to MJ, or your name is Gentry Humphrey, don’t get your hopes up of getting your hands on a pair of these, but be sure to enjoy the pics after the jump. via Kenlu

In case you lady sneaker heads haven’t been feeling the love as of late when it comes to dope basketball shoes outside the Jordan Brand, there is no need to worry because a fresh Nike Air Flightposite will be available for you get your swag rolling on the court or wherever. This Flightposite features an all black color scheme with some nice, pink accents on the middle of the mid-sole and on the Swoosh designed with dots, rather than full lines, on the lace cover. As many of you know, the Nike Air Flightposite is one of the lightest and most comfortable shoes out there, so don’t miss your chance to grab these in the coming weeks at Nike Basketball retailers. via GoliathNYC

It looks like Nike SB has set a new standard for tradeshow exhibitions. At this year’s Bright show in Frankfurt, they have created a one of a kind SB showcase room that is designed to look like you’re in someone’s home. Complete with special SB wallpaper, an engraved antique table and even a Pigeon Dunk inspired wall clock, it is clear that no corners were cut as this concept was brought to fruition.
Aside from those thoughtful interior design touches, the focal point of the room is, of course, the upcoming SB collection. New Dunk Lows, Mids and Highs, as well as Blazers, Zoom Tre A.D.’s and others cover the walls and furniture amidst hanging SB apparel and framed photos of sneakers and Nike SB-themed images. Once again demonstrating why they are the leaders of the pack, Nike has created a truly memorable way of showing off their goods and creating a buzz. via Dunkbar.

Earlier today we showed you an image of the high top sneaker to come out of the collaboration between Louis Vuitton and the Louis Vuitton Don himself (Kanye West). Two new images have surfaced of Kanye wearing the High Top shoe that should remove some of the mystery of what the shoe will look like. The high-top looks to have a mostly light grey suede upper with a leather patch of the same color around the mid-panel area. Covered with brown suede is the heel area while the two straps on the laces show us how Kanye can keep those types of details fresh. The upper has a pretty neutral colorway, so to pop things off Kanye has added a pink sole with the LV logos by the heel. There is no official release information for these, but as always we will keep you posted on all relevant info for these and Kanye’s five other shoes he has agreed to work on with LV. Thanks to Nitro:licious for the heads up and Revolve Clothing for the images.

This weekend is the beginning of the “Championship” series, which includes the Jordan Six Rings and now the above set of Air Jordan 1 Low in Suns colors. The first is the Phoenix Suns home colorway which features white leather and patent leather on the upper along with a canvas swoosh. The midsole is a orange gum and the lining is a Phoenix Suns purple. The second is a richer away colorway with a black nubuck upper with purple contrast stitching and a white swoosh. As with the home colorway, a orange midsole is used but on the outsole is purple. Also unique to these two are the six trophies on the back tab. You can find these this weekend at Jordan retailers including Uptempo Air and nikestore.com.

Over the past few months Jordan has been releasing the Air Jordan Six Rings Championship Pack, which consists of six version of the Jordan Six Rings sneaker in five different colorways to represent the five teams the Bulls beat in order to get their six NBA Titles and allow MJ to get his six Championship Rings. Enough numbers for you?! Jordan Brand doesn’t leave any loose ends, so they came out with this Black/Varsity Red-Dark Concord-Varsity Purple colorway of the Air Jordan 6 Rings. The shoe is featured in all black, with soft leather around the lower part of the upper (as opposed to the more often seen patent leather) along with the laser drawing around the laces featuring all the different colors. These are available this weekend at most Jordan accounts including nikestore.com.

By now all of you have heard that Kanye West aka The Louis Vuitton Don has collaborated with the French high fashion brand, Louis Vuitton, and that Marc Jacobs (Creative Director of Louis Vuitton) along with the brand commissioned Kanye to design six sneakers for this season’s collection. We’ve already shown you the Boat shoes as well as the Red on Red sneakers and now here is the third of six Kanye West x Louis Vuitton sneakers, a high top sneaker that features a strap across the midfoot and another one across the shoe’s tongues. While Kanye shot these before he left for a club, he has promised better pictures in the near future. Stay tuned for more information regarding the release of Kanye’s Louis Vuitton sneaker collection. via kanYe West

A few weeks back we showed you some images of Nike’s forthcoming Hypermax basketball shoe. Now we get a peek at a new white/orange colorway that does these kicks the justice they deserve. Picking up where the Hyperdunk left off, this shoe seems to be big man approved, with its high cut, ankle strap and full sole Air Max unit. Like its predecessor, the Hypermax uses Nike’s Flywire technology to keep it light and responsive. This shoe looks seriously court-ready and will no doubt start showing up on the feet of both college and NBA players soon. We’ll keep you posted on when and where you can get yours. via Niketalk.

The Nike Foamposite Lite has recently been a popular choice for player’s editions. In what may be the most enticing colorway so far, the Phoenix Suns’ beast in the middle, Amare Stoudemire, is the latest to get his very own personalized version. The Foamposites have always appeared futuristic, but there is something about the Amare shoe that takes that look even further. Stoudemire’s initials are stamped onto the tongue in a circular design, giving this shoe an added nice touch as if it needed one. If you like Amare’s style, go to Osneaker and you can get a pair of your own.
