Team Jordans are usually reserved for the basketball court or to beat around. However, the recently released Jordan 16.5 is definitely catching the eyes of some Jordan purists due to its fine design, one that could easily pass an Air Jordan signature shoe. Team Jordans are usually available in a wider range of colourways, particularly of college teams, like the UNC Jordan 16.5 PE and Georgetown Jordan 16.5 PE. Check out the Aquatone Jordan 16.5; you might expect to see these on the feet of CP3 or some of his teammates from time to time, as this Aqua Jordan VIII colourway fits the New Orleans Hornets uniforms to a tee. The black patent toe and clear sole say “Space Jam XI” but the aqua stitching and purple lining demand attention too. These are available at Jordan retailers nationwide. via NT.

We showed you pictures of the Feather colourway of the WMNS Nike Air Force 1 Premium yesterday, and a black High-top with similar graphic was previewed earlier this month. Here’s a look at the red colourway of the WMNS Nike Air Force 1 Premium sharing the same print as the other two. Call it what you want, but it’s pretty tough to pinpoint. Is it cobblestone? Cheetah spots? Or maybe that of a dalmation? Who knows. What we do know is that this red colourway is incredibly vibrant and will surely catch the attention of jealous eyes on the street. While these aren’t an official Valentine’s Day colourway like the other Valentine’s Day Nike Aerofit High, the sultry red surely makes it fitting for the holiday, although the orange sole might suggest otherwise. If you need these, brush up on your Chinese dialects and grab yours on Dunk.

What’s the chance that this latest release will appear in an upcoming MVPuppets commercial? We kinda doubt that, actually, but this Nike Air Force 25 Low from the upcoming Lebron vs. Kobe Pack did pop up right around the time of Lil Dez’ first peek at stardom. These joints are white with Laker-flavoured accent hits, and you know the AF25′s just gotta have that transulcent outsole. Expect the navy blue LeBron James edition soon, because Kobe’s pair just dropped at Kix-Files.

The Nike Dunk Low SB is making a strong comeback in 2010 with a number of colourways utilizing basic color-blocking from the earlier Nike SB seasons. Give it whatever nickname you’d like; Spiderman Dunk SB Lows, Independence Day Dunk SB, yadda yadda yadda. Rising above any name given to these kicks is the fact that this Red, Royal Blue and White colourway is NICE. Check out the use of material, like that of the Nike Dunk Low SB J-Pack; suede on the toeguard and rear panel, leather on the toe and center. If Nike SB has big expectations for 2010, these Dunk Lows will surely raise the bar. Check back with Sneaker News and we’ll let you know when these drop. via maze.

We already saw the Oceanic Airlines Dunk High SB inspired by LOST, and now we get a look at the Nike SB Blazer High Linen ‘Shoe’ inspired by the mysterious Dharma Initiative. This design appears to take off where the Huf Capsule Collection Blazers left off. The upper is predominantly a ‘linen’ colored canvas with a white canvas swoosh and heel tab. Although what separates these shoes from the Huf Blazers is the ‘linen’ colored mesh tongue. The word “Shoe’ is also carefully embroidered on the heel tab, and screened on the insoles as nods to LOST and the labeled supplies found on the island. The shoes are also a ‘Considered Design’ which means that the shoes were designed and materials were picked with the environment in mind. The Nike SB Linen ‘Shoe’ Blazer High Quickstrike is available now at A-Front in Houston, TX.

Blue and Red seems to be a popular colourway for Nike SB 2010; a patriotic red/white/blue colourway of the Nike Dunk Low SB is on the way, and the Quickstrike Nike Dunk High SB Oceanic Airlines inspired by the ABC Network hit “Lost” has blue and red in the spotlight. Here’s another Nike Dunk High SB that uses blue and red, but this time, they’re just the supporting actors. The all-grey upper is set of well with a contrasting varsity red swoosh and midsole, and the blue laces and bottom sole adds the finishing touch. Redundancy can be detrimental but there should be absolutely zero complaints about these three upcoming blue-and-red Dunk SBs. Stay tuned and we’ll let you know about a release date. via maze.

Earlier today, we gave you a look at Kobe Bryant and several of his Lakers teammates wearing a special colorway of the Zoom Kobe V in honor of Martin Luther King Day, but they weren’t the only squad showing their respect on the court. Many players all around the league sported Nike kicks featuring the same Silver/Green/Red color scheme. Amar’e Stoudemire, Stephen Curry and a few others rocked the Hyperize, while names like David West and rookie stand-out Jonny Flynn were seen in the Air Max Rise. Zach Randolph repped for the big boys in the Blue Chip II, while Rudy Gay turned a few heads with a fresh pair of Sharkalaids. Plenty of other NBA players showed support as well, but keep reading to take a look at some of the ones that stood out to us. Photos via YahooSports.

Like any acquired taste, it takes some time for something to grow on you. The Nike Dunk SB Mid wasn’t exactly loved by all when it first dropped, but now its considered a staple of the Nike SB line-up. With the ankle strap expected to be removed from the future models, here’s a look at an upcoming Black/Sail/Varsity Red colourway of the Nike Dunk SB Mid, strap included. The color palette is as eclectic as the materials used, as these Mids employ leather, suede, and nylon. These are set to drop soon, as they are part of Nike SB’s Spring 2010 collection. via maze.
