Nas and Damian Marley stopped by last night’s episode of BET’s 106 & Park to promote their new album, Distant Relatives, which is in stores today. It’s not the first time the two have been spotted promoting their album together, just last month Nas was seen wearing a pair of the Clae Thompson’s at a press event for the album. This time the rapper decided to keep his shoes a bit more classic going with a pair of all White adidas “Shelltoe’s” also known as Superstar’s while Damian Marley was wearing a pair of what appeared to be Wallabe’s. However, Terrence J. of 106 & Park may have stolen the sneaker spotlight with his pair of Air Jordan XI “Space Jam’s”. Nas and Marley later performed in front of a sold out crowd at the Highline Ballroom, check out more pictures after the jump…

Moving a bit faster than the carefully calculated release of Terry Kennedy’s first Supra signature, Supra’s new lowtop The Stacks is ready for retail less than a month from our first preview. The complete opposite of the flamboyant TK Society, The Stacks is a subtle lowtop that has potential for interesting colorblocking patterns, and yet, Supra has chosen to keep them monochromatic for this first drop. There’s a very nice pair in light grey that adds a little canvas to the back of an otherwise suede design, while the black pair mixes canvas and leather to get a nice tonal effect atop a baby blue sole. Check out TK and the rest of Fly Society putting The Stacks to good use with their new track ‘We Winning’ as the soundtrack, then head out to your local Supra dealer to cop these today.

These Nike Dunk High Supreme’s foster subtle tones with just enough added flavor to set itself from the rest of the numerous Dunks that come out. In a slick Black/Matte Silver palette, the upper is also garnished with large polka dots that are cleverly patterned for a co-ed friendly look. The overall look of the upper almost looks as if its 3M reflective, but there are no descriptions indicative of it being so; just simple the matte silver giving it that feel. As you can see on the tongue, these Dunks also get equipped with Zoom unit soles, as we’ve seen on a bunch of Dunks released back in 2008. Officially part of the Fall 2010 season, they’re spotted early overseas (as usual) but expect them in a couple of weeks. via Atmos-Tokyo

With all the complaints about Nike SB un-fattening their famous Dunk Low tongues, you might have a hankerin’ for some good ol’ chunky skate aesthetics. In that case, the Swoosh’s ‘other’ skate division has you covered with this new Nike 6.0 Zoom Oncore. These Oncores are suitable for BMX riders too, and the slightly Halloweeny colorway is sure to be among the more head-turning designs you’ll see this season. They’ve even got SB-like oval laces too, so what are you waiting for? Grab a pair of these Nike Six Oncores from Size?

Having a nickname like ‘The Pick’ is kinda like being a 30+ year old rapper named ‘Lil’ or ‘Young’ something. On one hand, is it still even relevant? On the other, there’s no doubting that basketball fans and North Carolina natives alike are sure to remember Emeka Okafor as the first pick in the 2004 NBA Draft and consequently the Charlotte Bobcats’ first ever draft pick. The nickname has apparently stuck with the big UConn alum, as his Nike Air Max Hyperize PEs for the New Orleans Hornets prominently feature ‘THE PICK 50′ on their tongue tags. The Hyperize family isn’t exactly on the same schedule as the NBA, so there’s a good chance Okafor will rock these next season, and you can check back with Sneaker News for the latest in Nike Basketball player exclusives.

Thanks to a name like Fragment Design, the Nike All Court finally stopped going under the radar. And with some other solid colorways as general releases, they’re starting to hit a sort of mainstream level. In a new Midnight Navy and Birch, the color choices in such materials as canvas and super premium suede, respectively, give these classics such a sophisticated look that so allures many a sneakerhead now-a-days. As a booster, the interior gets lined with terrycloth for a super comfy fit all Summer long. Cop while you can from Extra Butter; we heard these Quickstrike pairs are flying out the door.

We’ve seen several previews of his ‘Thai Temple’ Nike SB Dunk High Quickstrike, but what about the ‘original’ Eric Koston Nike SB Dunks? With the Thai Temple joints delayed from an earlier reported April release date, these Nike SB Dunk Lows have slipped under the radar. It’s kinda like forgetting Christmas or your birthday is today, then finding that you’ve received as a gift a modern interpretation of one of your grails. It remains to be seen if Koston’s first Dunk Low is revered on the level of some of the silver and pink box-era releases, but one thing we do know for sure: CCS has these available for pre-order with an expected ship date of May 31, so you better grab yours while you can.

If you’re thinking, “Didn’t these drop earlier this year,” you’re only partially right. There was indeed another Nike Air Force 1 in metallic silver with black accents, and that pair like this one, was also a Quickstrike. The main differences between these two pairs, then, are that these new AF1s are lows whereas the others were hightops that featured special insignias for the 2010 NBA All Star Game. You’ll notice that the new pair is straight-up silver, which should translate to an overall more versatile look. Expected at retailers in early July, these joints are available now for pre-order from footwear_depot on eBay.

The Nike Air Max 24-7 is one of Nike Sportswear’s best hybrids and the Air Attack Pack releases are all quite impressive, but without this colorway, the shoe really couldn’t claim ‘all day’ status. That’s cos anything resembling a ‘complete’ discussion of the Air Max 95 simply must include the iconic ‘Neon’ colorway. It’s interesting to see this grey-dient palette applied to Air Max 97-like flowy lines, but it gives you a very good indication of how closely related those kicks really were, even if it didn’t seem obvious at the time. A must-have colorway for any serious Air Max collector, these AM24/7s are now available from StepToRun on eBay.

Atlanta’s B.o.B. recently stopped by the 102.7 KIIS FM 2010 Wango Tango concert that was held at the Staples Center this past Saturday. While B.o.B’s debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray, debuted at an impressive number 1 spot when it was released only a couple of weeks ago, the rapper shows us that his kick game is up quite impressive as well. B.o.B. showed up to the concert wearing a pair of the Nike RT1′s in Mushroom, White, and Varsity Red and then switched into a pair of the recently released Nike Air Royal Mid VT from the Macrons Pack in the Cool Mint colorway.
