The NBA All-Star Weekend is one of the most exciting weekends in contemporary sports. For three days, we get to see the best and brightest of the NBA showcase their talents in a wide array of events. Our personal favorite? The Dunk Contest (we’re sure we’re not alone on this). As shoeheads, we always notice the heat on the players’ feet, and we’ve seen some great kicks and Player Exclusives in the spotlight during those exciting contests. From the Nike Foamposite Lite Kryptonate, to the Air Jordan III Cement, there’s something for everyone.

After countless months of design, marketing, and previewing, the Air Jordan 2010 will finally release tomorrow, February 13th, at Jordan retailers nationwide. The AJ2010 marks the 25th Anniversary Jordan Brand, and it doesn’t appear to be losing any steam, with JB’s newest Team Member Dwyane Wade debuting the Air Jordan 2010 during Sunday night’s NBA All-Star Game in Dallas. Niketown in New York City is also having a special event, in which a pair of the Air Jordan 2010 autographed by Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith will be raffled out between 7:00 and 8:45 AM to one lucky Jordan-head. Also, coming in tandem with the Air Jordan 2010 will be a Dwyane Wade poster and a pair of elephant print Jordan socks for all to see through the AJ2010 “peephole”. Get your pair tomorrow, and let’s hope for another strong twenty-five of Air Jordan.

When word of the Nike Air Foamposite One Copper was released last year, reviews were mixed. “These look disgusting”, some said. But every time Sneaker News dropped new details and images, those frowns quickly turned upside down, and soon the Copper Foams became the “IT” shoe for the first quarter of 2010. Recently, some unfortunate news about a possible release delay of the Copper Foams was disseminated, reported even by nationwide retailers. Those new developments threw off plans of dedicated sneakerheads, as some were saving up for quite some time to finally get a pair of the penny-colored Pennys.
Well, the delay in the release was just a false alarm; the Nike Air Foamposite One Copper is set to drop tomorrow, February 13th, which was the original set release. Getting a pair won’t be easy and penny-pinching won’t do you any good as these will probably hit the $300 mark on re-sale. Sneaker News bids you good luck, because the Copper Foam One isn’t the only heat dropping tomorrow. Additional images via Pristine K on eBay

The first of the Air Jordan 25th Anniversary Silver Collection will drop tomorrow, February 13th. This colourway serves a dual purpose – the first as the inaugural AJ Silver Anniversary shoe, and the second as a Retro of a colourway nearly a decade old. The Air Jordan 1 Silver comes packaged in a suitcase similar to that of the Air Jordan XVII, but i’m sure you’ve followed our coverage of the awesome Air Jordan 1 packaging. Combined with the retro factor, these Jordans will leave the shelves fast, so get your pair locked down. The Air Jordan 1 Silver Anniversary will release at select Jordan retailers like WestNYC.

There are as many colourways of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII as there are cells in the human body, but here is one that we should not be surprised about. Check out these images of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII SVSM Home colourway; it features a white upper with SVSM green on the Flywire panels and Air Max Unit, with green speckling on the white portion of the midsole. On in inner achilles, “IRISH” is printed in bold letters; that area of the LeBron VII seems to be the Nike iD-able area of the shoe; we’ve seen other PE logos in the same spot, like in the CTK LeBron VII. The overall colourway of the SVSM Home PE are similar to the More Than A Game LeBron VII, but still two different shoes nonetheless. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more pictures and LeBron VII release info, and you should anticipate an Away colourway as well. via LRJ23.

A new Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star High has hit retail and this pair takes cues from some pairs that were released last year at JD Sports. The team over at Converse decided to go with a sweatshirt material on the entire upper of the shoe and even on the lining of the shoe. This gives the shoe a whole new look as it looks and feels as if you are wearing a fleece, only on your foot. The color of the sweatshirt material is a classic Heather Grey color and the Converse signature White with Red trim is kept in tact on the midsole and outsole of the shoe. You can pick these up now at select Converse retailers including sneakersnstuff.

The Jordan CP3.III was released a bunch of Hornets-friendly colourways, but here is an all-black pair – another normality of Jordan Brand colourways. This new colourway of the CP3.III features black patent on the mudguard with contrasting white stitching, with a nubuck upper. My personal favorite feature would be the “Oreo” speckling on the midsole. Jordan Brand originally set the release date of this all-black CP3.III for some time in March, but apparently Finish Line reached the finish line first. If you plan on purchasing these at Finish Line, continue reading for a coupon code that could save you some nice cash.

The fourth and final installment from the inaugural launch of the Crooks & Castles footwear collection is this pair of low cut perforated suede sneakers. This model is being called the Isa and will be made available in three tonal colors including Red, White, or Black. A signature C&C label has been stitched to the tongue of the Isa as a subtle branding statement. Look for the Crooks & Castles Spring/Summer 2010 footwear collection at your local Crooks retailer. via Freshngood

After being easily defeated in 2007 and missing out in both ’08 and ’09, LeBron James will be on a Finals mission come 2010 NBA Postseason time. If LeBron wants a change in fortune in June, perhaps a change of some sort would be welcome. Over the last three seasons, LeBron James wore the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier line during the Playoffs, but this season, the Nike LeBron VII P.S. Playoff Pack will take its place. Here’s is the third and latest part of the POP, combining a black patent leather mudguard and swoosh and a white upper, combined with a clear “ice” sole. While the first Black colourway we showed you resembled the Space Jam XI, this new colourway can easily be compared to another popular model; the Air Jordan XI Concord or the DMP Air Jordan XI. Hopefully the Nike Air Max LeBron VII P.S. will change LeBron’s fortunes for the better. via NikeLeBron.

HUF has been holding it down for the skate community for years, pushing standards for skate shops around the globe. It was only a natural progression for Keith Hufnagel to take his brand into apparel and now footwear. Here, we get a glimpse of the first manifestations of we assume to be a long lasting line of HUF shoes. A variety of silos in high and low cuts with solid color blocking, it looks like most will rock canvas uppers- a fave to Cali folks. No exact release dates yet, but stay tuned for more info. Also be sure to check out a video interview with Mr. Huf himself discussing his new projects and where he hopes his brand is going. via HB/tenisufki.
