We’ve already given you a thorough look at the best of LeBron, Kobe and of course, Air Jordan kicks from Kenlu’s recent K-Pals sneaker exhibit in Taipei, but those weren’t the only big names with their kicks on display. While Carmelo Anthony might not quite pack the star power of the previously mentioned names, he’s right at the top of that next tier and has the signature sneaker catalog to back it up. K-Pals offered a nice look at a plethora of Melo’s signature Jordan kicks, as well as some Air Jordan and Olympic PE’s and even some sweet Syracuse edition Huarache 2K4 PE’s. Keep reading for a nice look at the Melo spread and stick around for more from K-Pals later today.

The past few years, we’ve been overwhelmed by so many colorways of the Nike Zoom LeBron and Zoom Kobe signature lines, that all the new info may have pushed out some of our memories of older models from the sneaker past of Nike’s dynamic duo. Kenlu‘s recent K-Pals 2010 exhibit gives us a great opportunity to take a look back and reminisce over some of the stunners and not-so-stunners from King James and the Black Mamba’s respective sneaker histories, including kicks from Kobe’s early adidas days. Keep reading for a look at some rare and forgotten treasures from the signature sneaker arsenals of the game’s two biggest names and stay tuned for more pics from K-Pals later today.

We often showcase impressive sneaker collections, but the recent K-Pals 2010 sneaker exhibition held by Kenlu in Taipei has now raised the bar and will certainly be tough to top. Over 200 mostly basketball models were all gathered into one room, showing off signature kicks and PE’s from some of the NBA/sneaker game’s biggest names. We’ll start you right off with with the main course. If you’re a Jordan head, this stuff is not to be missed. Not much needs to be said other than that K-Pals 2010 offered one of the juiciest displays of OG Jordan heat, PE’s and seldom seen gems that you will likely ever see all in one place. Keep reading for multiple pages of ridiculous Air Jordan fire on display and stay tuned for more from K-Pals throughout the day.

Marcus Camby didn’t stop LeBron from getting to the cup on this breakaway, and sorta looks like he’s in awe of King James’ Jordanesque pose. Meanwhile, your eyes are likely glued on the Knicks Hardwood Classics edition of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII. We saw LBJ in two differently coloured versions of this compliment to the Cavs’ throwback, but this week it’s the mostly-orange version on both sides. Stick with Sneaker News for news on whether these HWC LeBrons will ever hit retail. Pics: Yahoo!

Nike and Jordan Brand always hook up their biggest names’ alma maters. For Carmelo Anthony, Syracuse University was already with the Swoosh, but it’s a pretty big upgrade to have that on your uni as a high school student. Here are three new PE’s for Melo’s ‘finishing school’, Oak Hill Academy.
The Air Jordan Melo M6 is an obvious choice, and we’ve seen the Hallowed Ground in this colourway, but the Air Jordan Icons on the left up there is a new revelation. There’s also a new Air Jordan 16.5 for home games, which looks a bit like Dwyane Wade’s PE. Stick with Sneaker News, cos some or all of these might drop at House of Hoops or leak as samples.

Ladies are getting spoiled with special Nike Air Force 1s of late. Not only did we see double as many AF1s in womens sizes for Valentine’s Day, but the theme of one of those is being transferred onto another AF1 release. This time, it’s the ankle-strapped hightop version, appearing in all black. They apply the shiny dalmation spot design to not just the toebox, but the entire upper. Call these the ‘Cruella DeVilles’, and cop a pair today from Kix-Files.

The Zoom Encore, perhaps one of Nike 6.0′s “flagship” skate models, was a popular choice for skaters who preferred the denser, more substantial skate shoe. Low-profile skate shoes perform just fine, but it really comes down to preference. Nike 6.0 is now giving these particular skaters the encore they’ve been waiting for in the Nike Zoom Oncore 2 which features the same high-tech, multi-layered design of the original, but with a visible Zoom-Air unit. Two new colourways are available; the first consists Blue colourway consists of hints of lime green and purple, and features a metal-grating material on outer panel and speckling along the lace-holes, while the second colourway utilizes the same colors but in a different arrangement (kinda reminds you of the Playstation Air Force 1, doesn’t it?). via Kasina.

Somewhere between their Jim Greco Pro Model, the Suprano and the Lizard King sig, the Bullet, is Supra’s new Bandit midtop. Tom Penny’s new signature sneaker is set to drop in three new colours for the spring season. First up is the black pair in suede, which is probably already at your local Supra retailer. Next month, a tan suede version will release on the day after Valentine’s, while the red leather edition hits on the ides of March (also the 15th). Take a look at all three after the jump.

It’s been a little warmer in most of the US this past week, so it might be time to think about your obligatory white-on-white kicks. One of the first we’ve seen other than the dope Air Jordan 25th Anniversary Collection is this Campus Street Mid W from adidas. Probably the best way to make dudes wish girls with size 14 feet were more common, these are looking dope in a mix of premium white leathers, including ostrich on the rear quarter. Most guys are gonna be out in the cold on these, though, since Schuh-You has womens sizes up to 8.5 (US mens 7).

Low-cut basketball kicks and Steve Nash go together like green eggs and ham, so it shouldn’t come as a shock that the Santa Clara alum already has two colourways of the Nike Hyperdunk Low. We gave you a sneak peek at the Trash Talk Nike Hyperdunk Low a few weeks back, and previewed the Phoenix Suns colourway of the HD Low on Saturday. Here are some new, detailed images of the Steve Nash Hyperdunk Low PE in the Suns Away digs. Steve Nash’s PE logo sit on the heel (no surprise on the location, check out the Lamar Odom Hyperdunk Low PE), and there’s orange speckling on the midsole, a detail that’s always welcome. Grab yours from overseas retailer taobao.
