The NBA All-Star Game is a collection of the biggest superstars of the league, showcasing their talents throughout the Dunk Contest, Rookie Challenge, the All-Star Game, and other great events. So what’s more fitting than All-Star colourways of the adidas Superstar? Check out adidas‘ side of the All-Star colourway effort – the red colourway for the West and the dark navy blue for the East with a set of red-and-blue “neutral” shoelaces. There’s an interesting logo on the inner liner, but the Texas Basketball logo, seen on the All-Star adidas Supernatural Commander, doesn’t seem to be present. We’ll let you know when these special adidas Superstars drop, but in the meantime, check out the Nike’s side – the Nike Air Force 1 All-Star 2010 Collection. via Kenlu.

It was only a matter of time before we saw new pictures of these. One day, to be exact. The new Air Jordan Icons is probably one of the best so far, appearing above in its Jordan Brand Classic 2010 PE colourup. You can expect some of the nation’s elite high school seniors rocking these at the March 1st game, and they’re lucky to get one of the coolest colourblocking patterns Jordan Brand has come out with in a while. Enjoy more photos after the jump. via Kinstor

The latest Asics Gel Lyte Speed reminds you why we have more than a couple of brands here on Sneaker News. Their new Directional Level premium drops were building some momentum, but this white-hot Lyte Speed release makes us think there really is something to this Year of the Tiger thing.
The colourway is just amazing, mixing mint green and infrared like it’s nothing thanks to a mostly black and grey upper and a speckled midsole. Since Parra is probably the closest thing that comes to mind when scoping these out for the first time, it’s only right that they popped up first at Holland’s Woei. via SF

Another day, another Nike Air Max+ Tailwind 2010. It seems like we’ve seen at least that many for the last week, but don’t sleep on these. The Air Max+ 2009 was a huge step forward with its uncaged Air cushion, but these show you how a little midsole here and there can be a good thing. This pair has a gumdrop yellow Air bubble peeking out to match the LIVESTRONG’d upper. These look like a another yellow Tailwind ’10 we saw earlier, but streetwear-friendlier thanks to healthy portions of grey and white. Run and grab a pair today from FinishLine.

We first saw these on Christmas Eve, when Sneaker News brought you the hopeful possibility of a Nike and Bearbrick collaboration. It turns out the Blue 100% and two pairs of Nike Blazer Highs are part of a triple-collab with Japan’s X-Girl (that’s right, WMNS only). Those sequened Blazer are pretty dope, but the blue Bearbrick featuring late 70s/early 80s soft-serifed printing is likely to be the big draw here. Expect them sometime next month. via HS

On Tuesday, January 25th, Lacoste hosted a little get-together at the Pierre Hotel in New York to celebrate the release of the Married to the MOB x Lacoste Hiromi ladies high-top shoe, but you better believe this wasn’t your grandma’s average tea party. In attendance was Leah McSweeney, creator of Married to the MOB, and a number of special guests and fashionistas. The special design of MOB’s features black funeral-veil lace and MOB’s rouge lips logo that give these women’s kicks a sultry dose of va-va-voom while keeping it true to McSweeney’s “Most Official B******” attitude. These will be available on February 13th, just before Valentine’s Day (last-minute gift for your gal-pal?).

Let it be known right now that the non Z-Boys who can pull off the dreads-at-50 look is shorter than this post. Luckily for Tony Alva, he fits the former, and lucky for us, we’ll soon get a chance to fit into this new pack of Vans with his name. We’re getting the Vans Mid Skool 77 in green and Era Pro in cobalt blue. Both rock beige laces and premium cushioned sockliners, and are enviro-friendly with recycled rubbers and water-based adhesives. Beautiful and ‘green’, both pairs should hit retailers next week. via ShoesMaster

We’ve already seen the Air Jordan 16.5 in a number of NBA Team Colourways, like the Hornets Air Jordan 16.5 and the Hawks Air Jordan 16.5. Here’s a look at a presumably Lakers-themed colourway of the XVI-XVII hybrid in black, varsity maize, and varsity purple. The black upper with purple lining and midsole is truly “Laker-ized” with the yellow stitching and color use on the sole. This is yet another colourway of Air Jordans for the defending champs – the first being the Air Jordan VI Lakers. A pair of nine-point-fives are available from shaolin8 on eBay.

There large number of components that make up the Nike Air Max 90 design allows you to go haywire on Nike iD, splashing safety orange or volt yellow wherever you please. Some still prefer the super-clean ready-for-summer route and go with an all-white colourway with a hint of a secondary colour. Check out the white/obsidian colourway of the Air Max 90, almost like a reverse colourway of the Obsidian Nike Air Max 90 we previewed a short while ago. It features an all-white leather upper with micro-perforated nubuck on the toe and a secondary trim owned by obsidian; it’s just a few pinstripes short of being a Home Yankees Air Max 90. These are available now at Caliroots.

Some shoeheads like to keep it simple and prefer shoes with white midsoles. Others like to go the loud route, and have an affinity for midsoles with out-of-the-box designs, like the classic speckling or the Hufquake-esque cracked concrete design. Another eye-opening idea for the normally subdued midsole is the dripped paint seen on this new Big Nike High GS in Dark Shadow/Flint Grey. Unfortunately these ARE a GS (or kids), but I have no doubt that these would catch the eye of the young’ns. These are available now at Finishline, so continue reading to get a nice coupon for this or any other Finishline purchase.
