You think somebody at adidas would have done the research and found out that SLVR was a meh of an outdated candybar cellphone. Well, the adidas SLVR collection for spring 2010 is far more up-to-date than your grandpa’s RAZR, featuring sleek lines on an array of lifestyle sneaker designs.
The collection is divided amongst tonal purple, silver and black pairs, with three designs to choose from. There’s a SLVR 119 hightop, SLVR 102 Light Runner, and the premier of the SLVR 128 New Lace Up, which almost looks to have velcro straps, at a glance. Click the jump below for the whole set and check for these at adidas SLVR boutiques and/or online. via FRESHNESS

One would expect the sneaker world to come down from the high of the roller-coaster that was the NBA All-Star Weekend, but this week didn’t miss a single beat. On top of the post-All-Star coverage, the last seven days was filled with buzz about new releases, a look into a wear-test sample that could’ve changed the course of recent sneaker history, the launch of a new company with Chinese roots, and a glimpse into a big-name sneakerhead’s favorite kicks of all time. The week was quite a grab-bag of info; limited kicks, clothes designed by famous artists, toy figurines, unreleased samples, and more. Check out our weekly recap if you missed any of the breaking news and be in the know.

This entire week, Las Vegas has been filled with various entertainers, designers, buyers, and influencers who are all in town for all the different tradeshows that are going on. On Wednesday night, Billionaire Mafia launched their new collection, Legend, at Prive inside of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. In attendance were the New Boys, who showed up rocking the new Nike SB “Oceanic Airlines” Dunk High’s and Toro Bravo Air Jordan V’s in Red. Also in attendance was Jadakiss, who was seen hugging Billionaire Mafia CEO, Lana Fuchs, on the red carpet; Kiss was rocking a pair of basic Black and White Converse Chuck Taylor’s. T.I.’s protege, Young Dro, was seen on the red carpet with a clean pair of crispy White Air Force 1′s. Other notable celebrities in attendance include Baby Bash, BG, Jerome Williams, and others.

The sudden craze around the Nike Griffey line is quite puzzling; then again, many of today’s Jordan collectors have never seen the man play in his prime. “The Kid” may have the sweetest swing in the history of baseball, transforming finesse into unrivaled power in the form of 630 steroid-free home-runs. The Nike Air Max Griffey stole the show in 2009 and first peek at the Marina Blue colourway had Griffey fans going ga-ga. Well, the wait is over, as the Nike Air Max Griffey Marina Blue will officially release tomorrow. Unfortunately, these are indeed a Quickstrike release, but there are still some pairs available for sale on eBay.
Style: 354912-004
Color: Cool Grey/Marina Blue-Metallic Silver

Every Saturday of the month of February has been huge release after huge Jordan Brand releases. On February 6th, the highly anticipated Air Jordan VI Motorsports dropped. A week later the Silver Anniversary Air Jordan 1 and the groundbreaking Air Jordan 2010 was made available. Tomorrow won’t be much different, as a great colourway of the Jordan Spiz’ike will be available for purchase at Jordan retailers. This latest colourway of the multi-Jordan hybrid features a number of design cues and colors that are instantly recognized as Air Jordan trademarks; the “Oreo” print, use of Military Blue, and all-black elephant print all play parts in this great production. If you happened to be stranded on an island with a wireless router of immense capabilities, you can grab a pair from ebay.

Paul Pierce and his signature shoes with Nike stands as one of the biggest sneaker mysteries of our time. We can understand it not being put out for sale for men, but to be produced only for kids? Well, that’s a story for another time. Check out these new pics of The Truth wearing a new colourway of his Nike signature shoe, the Nike Air Legacy. The design is fairly simple, with a black upper and his number 34 stitched onto the rear heel, with green and gold trim completing the Celtics ‘Away’ motif. Check out the images after the jump and let us know; if they were released in men’s sizes, would you cop? via Yahoo Sports.

January and February was owned by Jordan Brand and Nike Basketball, but March could very well go to the Nike SB camp. All of the March Nike SB releases keep it simple and clean, like the Green Leaf Nike SB Bruin – a great alternative if you’re unwilling to shell out nearly two bills for the Green Supreme Bruins. A black/white Bruin is also avaiable, as well as Brian Anderson’s second Nike Dunk SB and a grey/red/blue Nike SB Dunk High that we previewed last month. Check out the individual shots and head on over with your wallet in hand to Flatspot.

The Nike HTM2 Run Boot is more than just a new-age sports boot, it is the culmination of efforts built up from years of radical ideas and visions of four of the greatest minds in footwear history. The sneaker Dream Team of Hiroshi Fujiwara, Tinker Hatfield, Mark Parker, and Mark Smith collaborated to produce a revolutionary ankle boot that combined classic style and new-age functionality, as they did with the Nike HTM Woven Boot in 2002.
The Nike HTM2 Run Boot, which Nike deems as “Born on the Track, Bred for the Street”, features a Nike Free grooved sole and a lightweight, water-repellant, four-way-flexibile upper while holding onto traditional Chelsea-boot design cues like the pull tabs and elastic gullet. The Run Boot Low arrives in four great colourways while the High comes in just one volt/anthracite color, and each features a protective toe-cap and a swoosh in a never-before-seen spray-stenciled design. The Nike HTM2 Run Boot is a Tier Zero release and will be available only in Japan and at 21 Mercer on February 20th and March 1st. Check out the collection of detailed images after the jump.

So we have some clarification on these upcoming Nike SB Dunk Highs, but they still really are an ‘Enigma’. What we do know is that these brownish-yellow kicks are sporting a pair of scissors on the outer wings to shout out the old school practice of chopping down hightops into more skateable mids. Apparently, the shoe was designed by 80s skate legend Neil Blender, and there’s some tie to vintage skate blog Chrome Ball Incident. Stick with Sneaker News for updates on this mysterious SB that just popped up in a sample on SoleRhythm. via N-SB.org

The Air Jordan White Collection Tour will kick off soon, with its first stop in the Windy City. The White Collection consists of all-white colourways of the entire Air Jordan Legacy from 1-XXV, but here are new images of a pair of the Air Jordan Alpha 1 in a new all-white delivery that could very well be part of the White Collection. The upper is completely white, with an clear “ice” sole, making the overall composition of the shoe very similar to the Air Jordan 1 Retro Platinum that released in 2002. Whether these are part of the 25th Anniversary festivities or just a new colourway of the Alpha 1 is up for debate, but these are still a clean colourway regardless of its affiliation with the Collection. via cubbiefan08 on NT.
