During last weekend’s 2010 NBA All-Star Weekend, the biggest event that sneakerheads were talking about might not have been the actual NBA All-Star Game or the Saturday Night Festivities, but instead the debut of the Jordan Brand 23/25 Experience. While we’ve already shown you a few of the pictures inside the 23/25 Experience as well as video, we have yet to provide all of you a detailed look at the space and what it showcased as well as some of the celebrities and Jordan Brand athletes who stopped by.
The Jordan Brand 23/25 Experience opened it’s doors to a number of celebrities during All-Star Weekend including His Airness himself, Michael Jordan, who stopped by the event on Friday along with Jordan Brand athletes Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul who each took the time out to customize their own Air Jordan Alpha 1 iD. The two Western Conference All-Stars also took the time to enjoy some of the various interactive activities that the 23/25 Experience had to offer. Other celebrities who were in the building include Mars Blackmon better known as Spike Lee, MC Lyte who was on the 1′s and 2′s, and rappers Wale and Bun B. Jordan Brand’s Creative Director and the newest member of the Nike HTM2 design group, Mark Smith, was also in attendance.
Take a detailed look at the entire Jordan Brand 23/25 Experience after the jump…

The Future Sole Air Jordan 1 Retro High may be reserved for friends and family, but the design and colourway is familiar enough for you to get to know. The white/red midsole-sole combination is one we’ve seen many times, while the off-white upper reminds of the Bugs Bunny Hare colourways of previous Jordans. Definitely a new colourway but keeps it true to the Jordan legacy. Check out these new detailed images of the Future Sole Air Jordan 1, because at this point, it might be the closest you’ll ever get. via shoesholic.

We can always appreciated a look into future releases, so here’s a Nike SB Blazer that is set for a September 2010 release. The upper is very simple, consisting of a nightshade upper (something like a dusk blue) with a black swoosh. The heeltab is white, as is the honey-combed vulcanized midsole (shouldn’t all Blazer midsoles be white?). Expect these to featured in Sneaker News’ upcoming Nike SB Previews. via N-SB.

Above is the first shoe in adidas’ A.039 collection that’s actually blue. But, A.039 is the adidas colour code for royal blue, so this new Campus 80s continues the curiously named collection’s trend. The only place you’ll see royal is printed on the insoles, but fashion traditionalists would probably like to see it in place of the navy, especially when paired with black. Chances are, some of your jeans are somewhere in between, and you can cop these complimenting Campus 80s from Caliroots.

The Nike Trainer SC 2010 featured an All-Pro line-up of NFL Player Edition Trainer SC like the Adrian Peterson Trainer SC and Troy Polamalu Trainer SC. Here’s a pair that comes without any ties to a hardhitting safety or ankle-breaking tailback while still packing a punch. This new varsity royal and white pair of the Trainer SC 2010 is as ‘team sport’ as you can get. Flywire, DiamondFLX, and Max Air are the working parts of this tough trainer. This colourway is now available for purchase at Nikestore.
Style: 386484-102
Color: White/Medium Grey-Varsity Royal

With it’s Torch-equipped, Free-Soled update getting alot of shine this spring, the Nike Air Classic BW takes the Big Window back to basics. This new release has the look of the Oakland Raiders, without all the mismanagement and apathy. These are more like Jack Youngblood than JaMarcus Russell, a firm anchor for your springtime fits. Expect this new BW colourway in stores soon, as they just hit Korea’s Kasina.

It seems no matter how many A.039 collection drops we see, none of them will really feature that colour. In fact, the only royal blue on this pair of adidas Originals Full Back hightops is the inside of the tongue tag. So, your shins will get the satisfaction of the little secret they’re hiding, but everyone else will see your rocking one of the freshest white-on-whites this season. Talk about a win-win. Click thru to Caliroots and grab a pair today.

The New Balance CM1500 has been a popular choice when it comes to collaborations between New Balance and <Insert Your Euro Sneakershop Here>. The multi-layered design of the CM1500 (and most other NBs) make it quite easy to adorn with a plethora of colors. But check out this collaboration with Japan-based Beams and the Boston-based sneaker company; the Beams x New Balance CM1500 keeps it OG with the use of grey tones – similar to the trademark colourway of the New Balance 998 that was once considered reserved for geriatrics or those with orthopedic needs. As with most overseas New Balance collabs, these look to be tough to acquire in the states, so grab them directly from Beams.

The word “quickstrike sneaker” is a familiar phrase in sneakerhead vocabulary. How about…quickstrike store? The Nike Sportswear by Head Porter Plus retail space in Tokyo has officially opened, but will remain open for just one year. To say the museum exhibit availability of the new NSW store is intriguing is quite the understatement; this new Nike spot will offer the latest in Nike Sporstwear gear as well as exclusive releases like the Nike HTM2 Run Boot – a Tier Zero release. Check out the detailed images of the event space and you’ll definitely feel the envious itch. via shoesmaster.

We discussed earlier today how the scissors on the wings of the upcoming Nike SB Dunk High Enigmas represent skaters cutting down their hightop shoes into better-for-skate mids. Well, Nike SB is making sure nobody ever has to do that again with the new Blazer CS. We’ve seen another black pair in the Nike SB Fall 2010 preview, and this new mix of black leather and denim is probably going to be a big hit, thanks to the neon and purple side panel Swooshes. Are you excited about a ‘true’ Nike SB Blazer mid? via N-SB.org
