Talk about flying under the radar. This WMNS colourway of the Nike Terminator Premium TZ took off in stealth mode but has now landed nearly a year after its release. Check out the choice of graphic design on this black and white pair; it features a great patterned graphic on the upper, patent leather on the toe and heel, a funky font on the customary NIKE, and a sick graphic revealed by the clear sole. These women’s Terms are sweet regardless of whether they are a year old or fresh out of the factory. These Nike Terminators are available at long-time eBay seller turned e-store shoebacca.

Every basketball fan and his momma wants to see one thing; LeBron vs. Kobe in the NBA Finals. It’s been a long while since the NBA saw a Magic vs. Bird scenario on the game’s biggest stage – largely due to more team-oriented gameplay – but for LeBron James and Kobe Bryant to not face off against each other in the Finals would be an utter travesty to the game of basketball.

So why all the clamor about a regular season game in January, or the hoopla about the Christmas Day Kobe vs. LeBron? When the season ends, with both the Lakers and Cavs finishing among the elite in their respective conferences, the MVP voting will boil down to these two games. It’s no question that both Kobe and LeBron will get their stats, but with the Cavs sweeping the season series again Lakers, the MVP advantage goes to Mr. James. But all that really matters in the end is the championship ring; it’s LeBron’s to win and Kobe’s to lose. Check out these images of Kobe and his Inline Kobe V facing off against LeBron and his CavFanatic LeBron VII because after the All-Star game, we might not see this match-up of heavyweight proportions until next season. via Yahoo Sports.

There was a period in which many popular Nike Air Max models were released in colourways too bright, too misplaced, too absurd. Nike has gone back to basics with the Nike Air Max 90, giving us simpler, everyday colourways that made the earlier part of the last decade so great. Check out the this new colourway of the 90 in Black, Green and White – a treat for Boston Celtics fans. But aside from the great colourway, can anyone say…MESH TOES? (Or at least what appears to be mesh). Cop your pair over at Finishline, and continue reading for a coupon code that’ll save you some cash.

The retro-on-the-outside, high-tech-on-the-inside Air Jordan Alpha 1 released this past Saturday in the classic Varsity Red, White, and Black colourway. Additional colors will surely be on the way, but now is your chance to choose your own destiny: The Air Jordan Alpha 1 is now available for customization on Nike iD, with even more color options since the Air Jordan Alpha 1 Nike iD Design Contest.

Air Jordan products rarely hit Nike iD, so for a classically inspired pair like the Air Jordan Alpha 1 to be made available is definitely worth a few “woo-hoos”. But don’t waste your time pumping your fists too much, because the Alpha 1 iD is as limited as it is as exciting; only 23 pairs will be customizable per day until Valentine’s Day, but those who can sit on their hands will have a shot come the 15th, when the Air Jordan Alpha 1 iD will be available worldwide.

While these aren’t part of the Star Wars x adidas Originals Collection, this black and white colourway of the adidas ZX800 would have no problem fitting right in as a Stormtrooper or even a Darth Vader colourway. The upper combines nubuck and leather and features an embossed checkerboarding that reveals itself as you gradually move your eyes toward the heel, just like that of the adidas Conductor we previewed a few days ago. The midsole and central lace eyelets are a bright white, which contrast well with this stealthy colourway. You can grab these new adidas runners or any member of the Star Wars x adidas Originals at Schuh-You.
