In a year that’s been packed full of more Air Jordan Retro releases than any in history, this right here is your big dog, your top of the line, the creme de la creme of Twenty-Ten. The Air Jordan XI ‘Cool Grey’ isn’t your average sneaker. This is a shoe that’s only seen a release one time in the 15 years since patent leather debuted on a basketball shoe, and that was all the way back in 2001. Just like back then, they’re following soon after a ‘Space Jam’ AJXI release, so the question is, will the Cool Grey Elevens make as big a splash as last year’s holiday must-have? Count on it. And even with December stuffed to the gills with high quality releases, you’d be wise to lock up a pair in advance. That’s where RMKStore comes in, a retailer who’s offering the Cool Grey Jordan 11s in most adult sizes nearly two months ahead of the official release date – but you can also grab a pair on eBay.

K-Swiss may be best recognized recently for Kenny Powers and the K-Swiss Tubes, but Undefeated’s collaboration with K-Swiss brings it back to the shoes – more specifically, five colorways of the K-Swiss Deuce. Featuring canvas uppers, white midsoles, and a gum toe cap, the Undefeated x K-Swiss Deuce revives the classics that K-Swiss was made famous for – although not in all-white colorways – and this Friday Undefeated will drop release the Deuce for purchase. Undefeated LA will have them available on Friday, October 29th at 8PM, with a wide Undefeated release on Saturday. Take another look at the collection as well as a shot of the insole after the jump.

The Air Jordan II ‘Candy Pack’ was set to arrive just in time for the Halloween holiday but a recent postponement will force you to enjoy these sweet treats in November. Of course, there are opportunities to cop ‘em early, whether it be through a nice connect or paying a few extra bucks. Well, at WEST in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, you don’t need to drop a penny over retail, and after one trip to their store, you’ll have left with a new group of friends because the crew behind one of the best sneaker spots in the world are the friendliest you’ll ever meet. Dropping early at WEST is the entire Air Jordan II ‘Candy Pack’, so if you need to cop one, two, or all three, head over to WEST and rock ‘em early – but if you’re not in the NY area, you can also grab any three of the colorways from eBay.

The Los Angeles Lakers opened the 2010-11 NBA season in style last night at Staples Center, getting their rings from a second consecutive championship and handily dispatching their conference rivals, the Houston Rockets. On the other coast, LeBron James broke out his newest signature sneaker, but for the other Nike Basketball alpha dog, it was shades of last year with Kobe Bryant rocking a new colorway of the Zoom Kobe V. And we’ll probably see the Black Mamba wearing the ZKvs until around the turn of the year, when the Nike Zoom Kobe 6 is set to debut. A colorway much like last year’s Inline ZK5, the ‘Concord’ Zoom Kobe VI features a shade that’d be familiar if you’re an Air Jordan XI fan, a distinctive purple shade to tie in the otherwise white/black shoe with Laker uniforms. These new photos give us a look at just how highly texturized both the upper and outsole really are, and if “[You] want a shoe that molds to [your] foot,” click the jump below to see more. via Kenlu

It seems like just yesterday the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA Championship but after an offseason that was filled with media hoopla and a shift of conference power, the 2010-11 NBA Season officially kicked off yesterday night. Only three games were scheduled but quite a line-up it was; the Suns, led by Steve Nash and the Nike Zoom Go Low Trash Talk, began their post-Amare era against the young and talented Portland Trail Blazers, while out East we got an early look at a possible Eastern Conference Finals match-up as the Boston Celtics opened up their season against the Miami Heat – with the Big Three from up North giving the Heat their first loss of the season. That game in particular featured a number of notable kicks, like Rajon Rondo’s Hyperfuse PE, Nate Robinson’s Air Jordan III 25th Anniversary, and Dwyane Wade’s Air Jordan 2010, as well as the debut of the LeBron 8, Kevin Garnett’s Anta signature, and Paul Pierce’s new Nikes.
However, Opening Night was stolen by none other than Los Angeles, as the Lakers were presented with their Championship rings before tip-off. Kobe Bryant debuted the Nike Zoom Kobe V ‘Ring Ceremony’ while teammate Ron Artest represented Ball’N, marking the seventh different brand Artest has worn during an NBA game. Their opponent, the Houston Rockets, featured some nice Feet as well – Kevin Martin in the Air Jordan 2010 Team, Courtney Lee in the Nike Zoom Huarache TR Mid, and Aaron Brooks also in the Nike Zoom Go Low. Sneaker News will keep you on top of all NBA kicks this season so stick with Sneaker News for more NBA Feet coverage and let us know which NBAer had the best kicks during Opening Night. via Yahoo!.

The third Sneaker Con of 2010 was the biggest and best yet, with tons of people all buzzing about buying, selling and trading the hottest and most limited sneakers anywhere. Media coverage expanded along with attendance, highlighted by crews from MTV and CNBC, but they weren’t the only ones carrying cameras at the con. Sneaker Con sponsors adidas Originals put together a video montage of some of the best fits from the October convention, with a huge number of them from Jeremy Scott’s striking ObyO capsule.

Terry Kennedy could be considered a ‘baller’ in the figurative sense, but with the latest collection of Supra TK Society ultra-hightops, we get two new colorways evoking the last two decades’ most dominant NBA franchises. First up is the second purple suede Society, with this one adding patent leather to the ankle straps and a bright yellow sole that’s timed appropriately with the Lakers celebrating their 16th chip last night. The other NBA-repping palette shouts out the last team to accomplish what the Lake Show is attempting in a second three-peat, a classic Chigago-style look. The other two Societys are texture-heavy variations on black/white that echo the current drone of all things simple, and all four are available now at select Supra stockists like their own Factory 413.

Might be a bit odd to see a Livestrong Nike release not be on a black, white, or grey base, but Lance’s affiliation with Radio Shack during the most recent Tour de France competition allowed for some elbow room in terms of colorways. Here’s a look at the LIVESTRONG x Nike Lunarmax+ featuring a “Starlight” upper; the color can only be described as a navy blue, but with the yellow accents and Livestrong tab on the tongue, there’s no mistaking this shoe for anything else. This latest Livestrong release just hit Finishline so take a detailed look after the jump and head there to pick up a pair.

Yucky weather is everywhere you look, and when the days start to get shorter, we tend to respond by rocking earthier and generally darker fits. Both are true of this new Nike Air Max 1, a sneaker that mixes Dark Army green, the off-white shade known as Sail and a gum rubber sole to capture the essence of fall. The blocking on this AM1 is nearly all Dark Army, but with the varying tones cast by nubuck and a woven nylon mesh, these have more depth than you might expect from an all-over green shoe. Check out more shots to see for yourself and grab these from Finish Line or on eBay.

So much for those once-pricey samples. Now that the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Loon’ will hit retailers, there’s a good chance that you won’t see them as high as five grand anymore, but bringing this SB Dunk Low was too good to pass up. Taking after the Minnesota state bird, these joints have a premium feel thanks to the white-on-black details being sewn into the suede, as opposed to printed. Check out more shots after the jump, including a look at a Loon tee shirt by Todd Bratrud that you might expect to see associated with a California-themed sneaker, one that features the Loon Dunk in a hightop silhouette. As it stands, the shoe’s a low and the shirt’s available November 6th only at Familia in Minneapolis, but SB accounts in Cali and every other state will wait to get the Loon Dunk Low in the middle of next month. via N-SB
