The ‘bok has been absolutely killing the month of March, and we’re only halfway through! Check out this new colorway of the Reebok Ex-O Fit Hi SG Strap. Look familiar?

If you need to be reminded of what Reebok put this month, check out the Reebok Respect Pack, the Michael Chang Court Victory Pump, and the Reebok Fullington.

There hasn’t an invasion as dominant and unrelenting like Star Wars’ takeover of adidas Originals. The entire Star Wars x adidas Originals set was the ultimate collection of kicks for shoehead ‘geeks’, and CLOT joined in on the fun. A few days ago we showed you some sneak peeks of the CLOT x Star Wars x adidas Hoth Skate High and now we can get a better idea of what it’ll look like. This latest adi-Ori is inspired by Hoth, the fictional planet covered in snow and surrounded by moons, and you can see its bearing on the design of the shoe – snow-white lining and space-dirt colored suede on the upper. These are set to drop at select retailers such as Juice and LA’s Undftd by month’s end. via EDC.

Kevin Durant is second in the NBA in scoring to LeBron James, but he still has quite a ways to go to match King James’ shoe game.  One step along the path to superstar status is the new Nike KD II in the can’t miss black/red color combination.  This palette might not be as bright as say, the Creamsicles, but a patent leather upper gives these their own shine.  Durant deserves MVP consideration, but you can still jump on the bandwagon early and get a pair of KDIIs from Finish Line.

This latest pairing with the three stripes includes Hawaiian born-and-raised SLICK, the renowned graffiti artist who recently lent his magic touch to the adidas Artillery Mid.

adidas gave us a chance to choose our own colors when it dropped the adidas adiColor and a Superstar with interchangeable three-stripes. This latest adidas Stan Smith allows us freedom to do as we wish; both colorways feature a velcro patch on the heel with a set of different colored tre-foil patches. Feeling like it’s a casual white-on-white day? Slap on the white logo and be on your way. Want to be a bit more edgy? Rock the black colorway with a newly attached red heel and switch into the yellow or red laces. Grab either the white pair or black pair over at Schuh-You.

Reebok’s been peering its head a lot more often for 2010; the return of the Michael Chang Court Victory Pump, Part II of the Reebok Respect Pack, and the newly released Reebok Zigtech all occurred less than two and a half months in. However, the Reebok Fullington takes it another route; the super-hightop tuns astray from the retro and new tech aspirations of the previously mentioned Reeboks by going the sleek lifestyle route. Black leather with a white midsole and a gaudy ankle strap make the Fullington a worthy competitor to other high-top purveyors. You can pick up a pair via phone/email order at Extra Butter.

Growing up on Marvel Comics, every boy who spent his formative years in the 80′s and 90′s had a dream of becoming a super-hero of some kind, spending hours thinking of cool names for his alter-ego. For Aaron Johnson, the lead character in the upcoming movie ‘Kick Ass’, his super-hero name came quite easily to him; Kick Ass just seemed like the perfect name to give himself. This movie is sure to cause hilarious buzz, so Vans decided to commemorate the upcoming flick by releasing a special colorway inspired by Kick Ass’ kick ass costume. The movie might be a must-see, but unfortunately the Kick Ass x Vans Era won’t be a must-have due to its limited friends-and-family production. That’s so NOT kick-ass. via HS.

The last seven days might have been the most hectic, fist-pump inducing week we’ve had in the first quarter of the year. Four Air Jordan colorways that would be shoo-ins for any sneakerhead’s G.O.A.T. list were rumored/confirmed for a 2010 release. If that didn’t stop you in your tracks, news of the Nike Air Attack Pack caused us to run for cover, as the Air Attack Pack is the first deluge of Air Max heat we’ve seen since the History of Air Powerall Series. Speaking of exclusive collections, Jordan Brand announced the BIN23 Collection, featuring Air Jordan models in premium materials deemed the best of the best. And finally, with the summer season just a few short breaths away, we saw what Nike Basketball had in store for us for Summer 2010. There’s a lot more to be seen and heard, so take moment and check out what went down over the last seven days.

Here’s a shoe we saw all the way back in September when Jordan Brand’s Summer 2010 catalog leaked.  Not typically thought of as part of the huge retro onslaught, this Air Jordan VI (6) GS featuring a rainbow of accent colors will certainly fill a niche.  This is probably not the best example of a shoe for guys to size up 1.5 on, but lil ladies should love the spectrum style.  Expect them any next month at Jordan Brand retailers, as they just hit Nike Harajuku in Japan.
