adidas has cranked out sneakers featuring NBA team logos ever since they bought Reebok and their exclusive contract with the Association, back in 2006. Most of these had been affordable and relatively easy to get, but that’s not the case with this new release.
Fresh princes Ubiq got the new adidas Phantom II as one of only six boutiques nationwide with a version of the shoe in their local team’s colours. These joints are royal blue with touches of white and feature the new (old) 76ers logo. All purchases come with a free Jrue Holiday-autographed ball, so be sure to hit Ubiq on Walnut Street if you’re in Philly.

A decade ago, you’d have been laughed out of your hood if you were the Docksider-wearing Star Wars geek. Hip-hop culture and streetwear have needed new inspiration and become a lot more inclusive since then. It’s to the point now where you’ll likely be considered as wise as Yoda for rocking his kicks. A little more subdued than ‘Jedi’ Nike SB Dunk, the Star Wars x adidas ZX700 Boat is. Put in standard english, these joints offer a range of brown and creme hues that make the green laces shine like lightsabers. With these, there is no look, there is only buy, and they’re available from Schuh-You.

We knew these were coming (even before the photos, if you just look back at the Air Jordan legacy), but they’re definitely worth another look. Ready to match rival Duke’s recent propensity for black unis, the UNC edition Air Jordan 2010 is back with some new detailed images. In these, you’ll get a good sense for how the translucent outsole contrasts the lighter midsole, and be sure to notice the microperfs that cover the nubuck vamp. Check Sneaker News for updates on the UNC AJ2010 release date. via FC.T

The Nike Air Flight Condor High would be the perfect shoe gas your Delorian up to 88mph. Not only is it a perfect mix of classic and modern sensibilities, but this pair actually looks like it came from ’88. That’s because the immortal mix of greys with white and red is a look sure to evoke the golden age of Air Jordans. Cracked earth in a tonal putty grey is a nice touch on the toebox and wing, and makes us hope we can get these soon from Wish.

Ah, love is in the air – Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. You know what that means: another seasonal colourway of a signature Nike shoe. To all the ladies out there, check out the upcoming pair of the Valentine’s Day edition of the Nike Dunk High. It features a canvas upper, a stitched-on white polka-dot pattern, and a swoosh adorned with patent leather (not a newcomer when it comes to Valentine’s Day Nikes). Hopefully these will release in the states with appropriate timing, unlike the Christmas Nike Air Force 1, which released just days before the actual holiday. Guys, if you’re need these in time for your significant other, pre-order yours from Limited EDT, or check out the other Nike WMNS Valentine’s Day releases.

While A Bathing Ape’s presence on American street fashionistos has diminished, Nigo and company are still making the most out of bright, cartoonish designs. The latest Bape Skullsta is completely covered in Devilock-designed faces that kinda remind us of the Ice Cream logo (Nigo and Pharrell are pretty tight, after all), except for the white, Superstar-like toe cap. These are available now from Eproze.

Many may not know, but the 12 Days thing actually refers to post-festivities rather than the days leading to Christmas. This isn’t gonna be a religion class, however we will put you on the up-and-up on this. Recognizing their wit and creativity to market their products, we teamed up with Long Island boutique, Extra Butter, for a holiday-oriented project inspired by what else but our favorite thing- sneakers. Jordans to be exact. With the design help of mutual affiliate, 2B-Original, a poster was created featuring Air Jordan illustrations putting a twist on the 12 Days of Christmas carol. With the numbers in each lyric referring to its respective Jordan counterpoint, the caricature is given life by its specific colorway or nickname. Just put up on display at the EB shop, this will be available in mini-poster size in the near future. Enjoy the details of each illustration, and stay tuned for further info.

When NBA Playoff time rolls around, we expect Nike to release a new shoe for LeBron, and it should be named Zoom LeBron Soldier IV or thereabouts. An annual tradition ever since the first LeBron rode the first ZLS to an unlikely Finals berth in 2007, the Soldier is a sign of solidarity for the Cavs, who all wear the same colourway until they get eliminated.
So will the Nike (Air Max?) LeBron VII PS be eliminated before it can reach the PostSeason (for which it was conveniently named)? Either way, it’s interesting to see the AML7 with it’s Air bubble eliminated from the mix. We’d assume there’s also Zoom in them-thar soles, but that remains to be seen.

All Conditions Gear labels have graced some of the craziest sneakers and boots in Nike’s history, but we still didn’t expect something this outlandish. Here comes the Nike ACG Woodside in all its duck-booted glory. The pair pictured above comes in the traditional brown/tan/green palette, while a black and white joint you’ll see after the jump puts a new spin on this immortal design. Both are available for nasty winter weather from Premium Laces.

The grey, orange and white Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) looked so good, we’re going to see more editions with different accent colours. The steely patent leather sections remain the same, but the orange sections will be swapped out for royal blue or dark red, depending on your tastes. These would make an awesome team shoe, but the new pairs also both compliment Cavaliers’ jerseys, so we wouldn’t be surprised if King James rocks these on-court in the near future.
