The spindly Texas alumni and last season’s break-out mega-star Kevin Durant is enjoying another successful season so far, and recently, after a brief rest from a sprained ankle, Durant returned to the hardwood wearing the Nike Zoom KD III. The shoe itself was first debuted by his teammates D.J. White and Royal Ivey during a game in which Durant was still out with injury, but he made his own debut with his third signature shoe the day after (with Nick Collison actually wearing another colorway of the KD III). Now YOU can have the Nike Zoom KD III on your feet as well as the Black, Photo Blue, and Team Orange colorway is now available in time for the Black Friday shopping season. You can find them at Nike Basketball retailers like Eastbay so take a look at the detailed gallery after the jump and let us know if you’ll be copping these now.

Michael Finley stormed the league as a late first-round pick in 1995 and quickly got our attention with his high-flying power dunks and leaping ability. However, he got Michael Jordan’s attention years earlier when the two squared off on a one-on-one contest that Finley won from a radio show contest. The then high-schooler Finley impressed Jordan so much that the legend went as far as mentioning that they’d possibly meet again in the future as professionals. After an impressive 15 year career, Finley will be remembered as one of the more profilic scorers of this NBA generation, being accountable for a solid 20 per night throughout his prime years with the Mavericks. During that span, Finley wore some great Air Jordan PEs, like the Air Jordan XV, Air Jordan XVI, and the Air Jordan XII. This particular pair is the same Air Jordan XII PE we’ve shown you before, but is extra special because it was Game-Worn and autographed by Finley himself (although the autograph is not an authorized one). Check out the gallery after the jump and pick up this rare pair from kickzrustm on eBay.

Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?”. No, that’s not an impression of Jim Mora’s classic Peyton-bashing post-game rant, but a clamor of uncontrolled excitement for this upcoming Air Jordan Retro. The Air Jordan XIII ‘Playoffs’, which Michael Jordan wore in the earlier stages of the 1998 NBA Playoffs as well as the All-Star Game of that year, is one of the many great colorways of the Air Jordan XIII – like the Flints which are dropping on Black Friday. Featuring a tonal black upper with leather on the dimpled sections, white on the midsole ‘paws’, and red/white outsole, the Playoff XIIIs is another reason to extend your credit card re-payment plan. Check out these new detailed images after the jump and let us know which Air Jordan XIII colorway is the best of all time. via rstor.

“Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn’t take Lorraine out cop the DeLorean 6.0 Dunk SE that he’d melt my brain.”
Sneaker News recently gave you a detailed look at the Nike 6.0 Dunk SE ‘DeLorean’, which featured a one-piece upper and a colorway paying tribute to one of the weirdest yet most lovable automobiles since the inception of the wheel. The DeLorean DMC-12 failed as an auto but succeeded as a movie prop, breaking necks at time-traveling speed, and now you have the opportunity to set foot in the Dunk-turned-time machine this Black Friday as it will release at select PacSun locations around the nation. PacSun is one of most recognized action sports apparel retailers today and its partnership with Nike 6.0 that dates back to the middle part of this decade is being rewarded with this exclusive release. Continue reading for a full list of PacSun release locations and let us know what you think of this ‘futuristic’ design.

The discounts available at the Nike Employee Store are the stuff of legend, but that’s not the only only benefit you get from exclusive access to the Beaverton campus commissary. On October 23rd, 2010, the Nike Employee Store played host to a special event showcasing some of Nike Basketball and Jordan Brand’s latest and greatest kicks, with designers Jason Petrie (LeBron 8), Leo Chang (Zoom KDIII), Octavio Lubrano (Jordan Take Flight) and Dan DeHaven (Nike Athlete Craftsman) on hand to show off their wares. Highlights include Petrie’s “Taking My Talents to South Beach” tee and one tiny sneakerhead trying on a pair of King-sized LeBron 8 V2s, and you can see the entire highlight video when you click the jump below.

It’s finally here – the biggest shopping day of the 365-day calendar, full of clearance prices and insane markdowns that lead to fatal stampedes and early-morning campouts. The Air Jordan XIII ‘Flint’ is one shoe that won’t be marked down but will still experience nice sales numbers, which is typically against the Black Friday grain of buying stuff you don’t really need for astoundingly low prices. Well, the Flints are a must-have for any Jordan collection and worth stocking up on if you’ve got a pair of OGs or Retros sitting pretty in your closet. The Air Jordan XIII ‘Flint’ will finally hit (officially) Jordan Brand retailers tomorrow, November 26th so let us know if you’ll be getting them in the morning – or just skip the raging crowd and snag a pair on eBay.

Stevie Janoski’s gone until next season along with the abrupt ending of Eastbound & Down, but Nike SB’s Janoski is gonna keep crankin’ out quality ‘episodes’ every month like clockwork. Pictured above is the latest Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski, clean as ever in a two toned mix of brown and off-white. The exact shades are Velvet Brown, which rings true to the rich suede uppers upon which its cast, and Rattan, which brings to mind earthy, woven furniture. But with Zoom Air cushioning and deceptively rugged construction, the Zoom Stefan Janoski will be just as useful grinding down a handrail as chillin’ on the couch. Whether you choose these as a part of your skating lifestyle or just as another sweet ‘lifestyle’ release, they’re available at select Nike SB spots like FlatSpot.

Perhaps a coincidence but likely a deliberate scheduling, the all-black Air Force 1 Foamposite will officially hit Nike Sportswear retailers tomorrow, Black Friday. With a tonal black upper with a matte finish and a translucent midsole, the second colorway of the Force x Foam will be a Holiday hit in areas where Air Force 1s and Foamposite reign king. Heck, if Rasheed Wallace were still in the league and providing the necessary dose of “real”, he’d be wearing the all-black Foamposite Air Force 1s for away games. Unfortunately, the need for ‘Sheed can’t be quelled, but you can still get the Black Foam Forces for yourself tomorrow at select Nike Sportswear retailers. Take another look after the jump, and if you want to avoid the holiday shopping stampede, grab a pair now from shi2p on eBay.

Supra is known for their rebellious rockstar styling, but part of what’s kept the Crown brand at the forefront of the fashion world is their willingness to adapt to these tonal times. Have a look at the Supra ‘Gum Pack’, certainly not the first Supras to feature gum rubber on their bottoms, but quite satisfying all the same. This pack is a trio comprised of three staple models, the Skytop, Vaider and Cuban. The Skytops come in an all-grey canvas and wool construction, the Vaiders are mostly nubuck with some super-nappy suede for contrast and the Cubans come in navy blue nylon with select suede details. Photos of all three await your click on the jump below and you’ll be able to get these ONLY at PYS starting Black Friday.
