If you were close enough to see the grain in the floor they’ll be installing in Texas Stadium for the 2010 NBA All Star Game, you’d also see it on these sneakers. Here’s a detailed up-close look at the Nike Air Max LeBron VII ASG edition. Notable for its blue raspberry colourway and aforementioned woodgrain, this is sure to be one of the most highly sought-after AML7s to date. Take a look at over two dozen detailed images after the jump. via Kinstor

Looks like it’s the Hibachi who’s getting chopped into pieces these days. In light of Gilbert Arenas’ guilty plea of the felony gun charges against him, adidas has dropped Arenas from their formidable line of NBA endorsees, which includes Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Dwight Howard, T-Mac, and many other notable players. Arenas was considered one of the top endorsees for adidas; he was an emerging star, and his whimsical persona grabbed a considerable amount of attention, both in the sport and in pop-culture, and was thusly granted his own line of signature shoes that included the adidas Zero-G and adidas Gil II Zero. The termination of the adidas contract follows NBA commissioner David Stern’s suspension of Arenas from the league, and at this point, Arenas’ future both as a professional athlete and market icon appears to be in severe jeopardy. Read adidas’ official statement and refresh your memory of some Arenas collaborations after the jump. via USAToday.

We haven’t yet seen an All Star Game PE for Steve Nash, but you know he always gets personalized Nikes. Most recently, it’s been the Nike Cradle Rock Low, but we’ve also seen a sample of a Trash Talk’d Hyperdunk Low. This one is closer to the script, keeping the Hyperdunk’s signature Flywire-equipped side panels. This Nike Hyperdunk Low has purple Flywire strands, plus some orange hits to make these a clear Phoenix PE, probably for road games. Stick with Sneaker News and we’ll update you if Nash is spotted rocking these on-court. via Hoopchina

Nike literally made a name for Cleveland point guard Mo Williams with this shoe. Get your ‘Mo Gotti’ on and peep this unreleased Nike WMNS Hyperize Sample. You can see from the tongue tag that these are a ‘Think Pink’ release, and not made for Williams himself. Instead, they get the inverted pink ribbon insignia in a womens size 9. Grab this sample today from verbdws on eBay.

The Air Jordan Alpha 1 was designed with today’s consumer in mind, but kept it true to the Air Jordan roots; the Air Jordan 1 was just the tip of an immense iceberg that re-routed the sneaker and basketball-shoe industry to a whole new course, and the Alpha 1 is here today, giving props to the pair that got it all started, but with a contemporary twist. The perforated toe-box and center panel, plush inner lining, and new Phylon midsole are just some of the new features that make the AJ Alpha 1 worth copping. These have already been seen on the feet of some NBA ballers, but now they could be on yours today by visiting a local Jordan retailer like Foot Locker.

Last but not least in our look at the four ASG Nike Air Force 1s is this Premium hightop. It’s the only one of the pack that doesn’t have a white midsole, but the darker look now matches the Swooshes, strap and laces. You’ll also see that these are the only pair with the logo on the pinky toe area, rather than heel. Subtle, but still shiny in patent leather, they’re available at Rakuten e-mall store, Kinetics.

For those of you who can fit into smaller shoes, or perhaps have children you like to dress in nice kicks, Nike always has GS sizes in some nice colourways. While these new kids colourway of the Nike Air Force One can pass as a Valentine’s Day Nike variety, the use of pink and shimmering red might be just a coincidence. These feature a clear red sole, a light pink upper with a sparkling patent swoosh, a patent candy red rear panel, and three sets of laces; white, pink, and rainbow, fit for a candy store. This sweet pair can be purchased from ID4shoes on eBay.

It could never happen on the court, of course, but coming in third in the Nike Air Force 1 series for 2010′s NBA All Star Game is the Western Conference red joints. They’re shiny patent leather with a metallic silver Swoosh on the side panels, plus the Mark Cuban-masterminded logo on each outer heel. A nice simple compliment to some of the crazier efforts Nike put together for this year’s extravaganza, they’re available at Japanese e-tailer Kinetics.

Next up in our look at the four Nike Air Force 1s for the 2010 NBA All Star Game in Dallas, is the ‘cleanest’ of the bunch. It’s all white, save the black outsole and metallic silver on the Swoosh and heel tab. That silver picks up on the upper-right quadrant of this year’s ASG logo, which really stands out on this otherwise simple design. Like all four of these, they’re available from Kinetics.

Foot Locker’s House of Hoops is known not only for the best basketball kicks, but Player Exclusives, and exclusive they are indeed. You won’t find these PEs in many other stores, if any at all. HoH just released two more PEs and a signature shoe for NBA fans and PE collectors to enjoy; the Creamsicle Nike Kevin Durant KD2 and Rashard Lewis “Sweet Lew” Huarache PE, both featuring an assuming 3M upper, and the David West Air Max Rise that Sneaker News previewed not too long ago. Grab your player-personalized kicks over at House of Hoops.
