Korean artist Kang S. Lee pointed to the Nike Dunk from his own personal sneaker collection for his latest project, creating abstract ceramic sculptures of the classic Nike high-top basketball shoe. Lee’s depicts the evolution of the Nike Dunk over the years by portraying each ceramic sculpture with a unique trademark, whether it be a tonal cement speckling, split in half with meticulous textiles and graphics printed on the interior, or growing spikes on the toe like fungi thriving on a dead tree. Lee certainly has an interesting take on the Nike Dunk but his collection doesn’t stop with that shoe, as he will complete a series of 50-100 different sculptures of kicks from other brands like Converse, adidas, Reebok and Vans. Check out more at design-milk and let us know which sculpture you like best. via FRESHNESS.

Carmelo Anthony recently stirred the pot with some interesting comments, stating “I’m not Chris Bosh”, alluding to Bosh’s leaving Toronto in the dust without giving any chance to recuperate from the loss of its star player via a sign-and-trade. Anthony’s desire to leave Denver’s been well documented over the last few months but he’s willing to work out a deal where he leaves the team that drafted him a nice ‘back-up plan’ of sorts by being open to a trade rather than bolting for another team at the end of the season. Anthony also stated that he’s “…like LeBron James”, and we agree; he’s a superstar-caliber player with a signature shoe to call his own, and with the release of the Air Jordan Melo M7, its stronger than its ever been. Here’s a detailed look at the Air Jordan Melo M7 ‘Blackout’; featuring a tonal black upper with hints of metallic silver, the Blackout Melo M7 carries the nickname quite nicely with an interesting material used for the overall construction of the shoe and glossy layers for a SWAT appeal. These are set for a December release so check out the gallery after the jump and let us know what you think of this colorway. via Dunk.

Full event information lies ahead so continue reading and for our NYC-based readers, let us know if you’ll be at Sneaker Pimps NYC 2010!
The event is now SOLD OUT!

Flamboyant adidas Originals collaborator Jeremy Scott clearly has a thing for the Metro Attitude silhouette. Originally debuted in 1986 as Patrick Ewing’s signature shoe, the Attitude has evolved into one of Three Stripes heritage models, and the base for what is now the third J.Scott reinvention. It all started with the Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Wings, which gave way to JS Wings 2.0. This new model, then, is a new take on the two-point-oh, the adidas Originals Fire. They use the same basic shape as the second Wings, but instead of Goodyear-style feathers, these joints go the hot rod route and opt for a gradient flame motif. Looks like these’ll hit retail next January, and you can get a better look when you click below to let us know what you think about the latest Jeremy Scott adidas. via SdG

At this time last year, Reebok was celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Pump by collaborating with 20 different retailers/brands to design their own version of the iconic shoe. Between the combination of a great concept/execution and some star power, the Dominique Wilkins inspired version by Packer Shoes is easily one of the most memorable installments of the Pump20 collection. For Packer, the chance to design their own shoe provided plenty of fun and excitement, but to get it just right takes some time and work. Here we get a look at two early samples of the shoe that were eventually altered and tweaked to create the version that released last November. Of the two pairs you see here, one is pretty close to the finished version with the exception of a different outsole, but the other pair really sports some notable differences.
The most glaring change was obviously made to the midsole. As you can see, the early sample featured a white midsole covered by some multi-colored speckling, giving the shoe a very different look in terms of color-blocking. Some of the other changes are a little more subtle, like the grey mesh panels instead of white and no perforations on the tongue. The Packer label that was eventually stitched inside the tongue label is printed on the inner ankle collar and the Dominique silhouette that made it onto t-shirts for the release was originally embroidered on the heel, later to be replaced by Nique’s ’85 and ’90 Slam Dunk Contest title years. Keep reading after the jump for some more pics of the samples and stay tuned for more Packer Shoes x Reebok team-ups in the near future.

This year has been all about monochromatic and tonal colorways, and even though the other all-black Nike Dunk High we just saw is from the SB sub-label, it’s still somewhat surprising to see another murdered out Dunk High in such close proximity. The new Dunk High Premium pictured above isn’t a Nike SB release, but it features a similar Zoom Air-equipped insole for superior cushioning. These joints are done in blacked out canvas, with the metallic eyelets giving off a silvery color in the right light just like the Metallic Black Air Force 1 ‘Foamposite’. Have a look at more shots after the jump and be on the lookout for these at select Nike Sportswear retailers soon. via Dunk

In a 2010 dominated by adidas Originals ObyO collaborative capsules, we haven’t seen much of the above-pictured Three Stripes heritage model. And with winter right around the corner, it’s perfect timing to find these new adidas Originals Top Ten Highs hit retail with a bunch of warm and fuzzy details. These two new pairs are crafted in leather, suede and denim, with corded laces giving a nod toward the bounty of hiking/workboot-inspired looks we’ve seen this season. A mahogany pair adds grey accents for a cool, mature look, while tonal brown joints make the most of their laces with a Timbo-inspired wheat and black weave. Check out both in more shots after the jump and look for these at select adidas Originals accounts. via Ronnie Fieg
