There have been a number of kicks released over the last decade or so that made you think “Dang, I wish these came out in Mens sizes!”. You can add these latest Nike Air Force 1 GS to the list, and you can see that these could easily belong in Livestrong line of Nike kicks. The combination of black and speed yellow works well with the gridlike design on the tone and center panel, giving the entire shoe an almost high-tech appearance. This pair also features black laces with yellow stripes, and the classic Nike Air Force 1 shoe-lace dubrae. You can grab these from steptorun on eBay.

The latest Air Jordan 16.5 is the colourway most likely to be nicknamed ‘Atlanta Hawks’.  Hawks players have been seen wearing a similar pair, as has Dwyane Wade, but these 16.5s have none of the telltale signs of PE status.  Instead, they favor the Hawks Sixty Plus with its yellow contrast stitching holding together a black nubuck upper.  You can find these on the the virtual shelves over at Finish Line.

Never one to shy away from making bold fashion statements, Pharrell Williams showed up at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, France on Saturday night wearing a pair of Nike Snowboarding x Arbito Zoom Force 1 Boots. Pharrell’s taste has been known to be quite eclectic and different from various other celebrities, we’ve seen him in Nike’s Lunaracer’s as well as the new Christian Louboutin sneakers, but wearing a pair of Nike Snowboarding boots to an awards show is definitely something that only he can pull off.

We’ve all heard the overused phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, but it certainly does not apply here. Check out the upcoming Converse Chuck Taylor Cup, which features the same upper silhouette as the legendary Converse All-Star but with a new midsole (and neat-o Chuck Taylor script on the rear end of the midsole). Subtract the rubber toeguard and contrasting white stitching of the All-Star and you get a sleek looking life-style shoe in the new Cup. Watch for lows and highs of the Converse Chuck Taylor Cup to drop later this year. via HighSnobiety.

Now that the 25th Anniversary of Jordan Brand is officially here, get ready for a slew of Silver/White colourways of Air Jordans. The first such colourway to drop in states is the Air Jordan II (2) 25th Anniversary, slated for release next Saturday on the 30th. It features a white upper with grey 3M trim on the heel, tongue, and heeltab. The release of these Air Jordan II has been somewhat overshadowed by the highly-anticipated Air Jordan VI Varsity Red that dropped today, but that doesn’t take away from Jordan’s second signature shoe. We’ll remind you again right before the drop date, or pre-order overseas at ChapterExpress.

The Nike Terminator has been a growing favorite of shoeheads and has been subject to a number of limited or TZ releases over the last year. The Nike Terminator High Lux in White and Gold released over a year ago in December of 2008; check out an unreleased sample of the Tier Zero Terminator, which seems to be the same as the released version except for a different colored swoosh. Check out the reptilian material on the toe box and ankle padding paired with the snakeskin swoosh. It’s always interesting to see unreleased samples, isn’t it? Although the auction’s dead, check out more pics from KonkreteJungle on eBay.

Friday night’s Knicks/Lakers match-up drew a crowd of presidential proportions as Bill Clinton took center court with the New York Knicks to announce the new NBA Haiti initiative, the league’s effort to support the people of Haiti after the tragic aftermath of the earthquake. While Ol’ Bill wasn’t rocking any heat, check out Jared Jeffries’ Air Jordan Alpha 1 PE in the New York Knicks colourway, a colourway you can make yourself with the Air Jordan Alpha 1 Nike iD.

Also in attendance were a number of players from the New York Jets, clearly taking some leisure time before their AFC Championship contest against the Indy Colts. Kerry Rhodes, Wallace Wright, Dustin Keller, Thomas Jones and Damien Woody were sitting courtside rocking a nice line-up of high-tops from Dolce & Gabbana. Let’s hope that the Jets’ play is as on-point as their gear was Friday Night.

If you’re having a hard time picking out a Valentine’s Day gift for your girl, maybe it’s time to break tradition and get her a box of deadstock kicks instead of a bouquet of roses or box of drug-store chocolates. Check out these newer images of the Valentine’s Day Nike WMNS Dunk High; it features a red canvas upper with white pixelated dots, a patent leather swoosh, and an all-white sole. However, the most charming feature is not from the shoe, but of the shoe-box that was also seen on the Valentine’s Day Nike WMNS Air Force 1 Low. The box is given a full Valentine’s Day box-of-chocolates treatment with the red color and floral graphics, but the image of the statue of Nike is on the box-top. You can buy your pair now at kix-files.

The Air Jordan 25th Anniversary colourway isn’t limited to just the Air Jordan Legacy. Here’s a look at the Air Jordan L’Style One 25th Anniversary that we previewed just over a month ago. It has a neutral grey upper with metallic silver trim on the heel and the panel going up the shoelaces and reaching the apex of the ankle. Check out the never-before-seen completely translucent “ice” sole with the visible Air Max unit, a combo deemed a certified first for any Air Jordan model. You can grab your pair of the L’Style from kix-files.

If red’s not your color, check out the lilac colourway of the Valentine’s Day Nike Aerofit High. The shoe design itself screams big 80′s hair and colorful aerobic leotards, but the shoe is primarily a Valentine’s Day treat. The lilac-white colourway isn’t the customary Valentine’s Day red, but the speckling of tiny hearts on the center-to-heel panel and the trio of bubbly hearts on the tongue tag certify these as a February 14th shoe. Remember, there’s also a Nike WMNS Aerofit High in Red. The lilac colourway is now available for purchase at kix-files.

While Nike SB is dedicated to the sport of skateboarding, Nike 6.0 offers gear for those who enjoy all sorts of extreme sports. The Nike 6.0 Mavrk is made for BMX riders, but that doesn’t mean it’s made for that sole purpose.

Check out the new colourway of the Nike Mavrk, set for a Spring release which features an all black upper and blue trim on the 6.0 tongue label and midsole/upper border. The Nike 6.0 2010 collection is well underway, so expected these to drop sometime soon. via maze.
