The biggest trade in recent NBA history just went down last night, sending Brooklyn-native Carmelo Anthony to the New York Knicks, guaranteeing Madison Square Garden a dynamic duo of Melo and STAT for at least another three seasons. To welcome him in the right way, urban apparel label UNDRCRWN created this new Carmelo Anthony t-shirt styled after the old-school adidas logo for another Knicks legend – none other than Mr. Patrick Ewing. You might remember Ewing’s adidas Conductor High which featured his logo on the tongue, but this time it’s been updated to reflect New York’s latest superstar. UNDRCRWN has a pre-order available right now with a ship-date of March 1st, so take a look below and let us know what you think of New York’s acquisition of Carmelo Anthony.

After seemingly having taken one for the team to give the Zoom Bruin SB a chance to shine, the Nike SB Blazer Low is back in Swoosh Skateboarding’s regular rotation. The newest colorway is quite familiar thanks to a very similar pair having released last year as part of the Icon x Icon Pack. Navy blue suede and yellow accents still echoes Brian Anderson’s nautical theme, but without the embroidered Swoosh and themed accouterments, these are closer to Michigan than Midshipmen.

Just what did LeBron bring to Miami? Point-guard-like passing skills, forward-like rebounding skills, and an electrifying first-step that leads to a rocket-fueled explosion off the court and a rip-your-heart-out rim-demolishing one-handed slam dunk. Miami, meet the Dunkman, also known as LeBron Raymone James. For the Nike LeBron 8, the Dunkman takes the form of the Nike LeBron 8 P.S. in a neckbreaking metallic silver upper with a matte finish and a swift energy jolt in the form of electric green on the tongue, outsole, inner lining, and laces, and on the heel you will find miniaturized Dunkman logos. The Fuse upper and silver finish give the LeBron 8 P.S. ‘Dunkman’ a Terminator-like feel, and once the postseason hits, LeBron James will be on a non-stop mission of grabbing his first NBA Championship. Continue reading for a detailed look at the LeBron 8 P.S. ‘Dunkman’ and let us know what you think, and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for the latest in Nike LeBron updates. via MarqueeSole.

With Black History Month coming to close in a week, Nike has saved its two marquee releases for the last weekend of the month. Both Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were honored this month for their astounding efforts in the sport of basketball which exemplify glory and greatness embodied by Black History Month. Releasing this Saturday, February 26th, is the Air Jordan III and Nike Zoom Kobe VI ‘Black History Month’. Both feature the Black/Gold motif with the green/red ‘BHM’ logo and additional graphic commemorating the month-long remembrance of Black History in America. Continue reading for another look at both releases and be sure to hit up select retailers like WEST NYC for your pair, or snag either of two now on eBay.

Yesterday Sneaker News gave you a look at the Nike Blazer Mid AB TZ, combining the omnipresent Nike Blazer with a zipper construction. It was noted yesterday that Nike Sportswear tends to avoid using zippers, but for whatever reason that may be, the designers were right to rethink that notion because the Blazer Mid AB is one of cleanest, lifestyle ready designs ever. The sneaker doubles perfectly as a sleek casual boot, with the tonal-black construction and rubberized toe-cap a la the All Court. The zippers are located conveniently on the medial sidewall of the shoe for easy access (and a no-show appearance). Jay-Z’s rocked Nike Blazers in the past before, and something tells us this All-Black Everything motif is right up his alley. Take another detailed look below and expect these to hit select Nike Sportswear retailers soon as they’ve already hit spots in Asia. via HB.

Get ready to pass that sh…oe on April 20th. Confirmed for the second year in a row is an herbally-inspired Nike SB Dunk once again designed by Todd Bratrud. Last year’s ‘Skunk’ Dunks were a nod to a certain sticky green substance and utilized a distressed suede upper to achieve the appearance, but for this year’s 4/20 design, it’s likely that Bratrud will use a slightly different approach. Perhaps he rolled all his ideas into one tight concept and sparked it up using the special feature seen in the SB Dunk High ‘Statue of Liberty’, because it’s been rumored that this year’s version will feature a joint theme with a similar wear-and-tear upper that will reveal a second base-layer as the life of the shoe progresses. Stay tuned for more info coming soon, and feel free to be blunt as you pass along your thoughts after the jump. via N-SB.

The All-Star Game has passed, and now its time for the contenders to break away from the pretenders as the Playoffs near us. Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers definitely fit the former category, as the two-time defending champions make a push for a three-peat in June. Here’s a new colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI that Kobe Bryant is set to wear during postseason play – the Kobe VI POP (or Playoff Pack). Last year’s POP version featured a black, purple, and yellow colorway with triangular tesselations on the upper and an interesting label on the inner face of the tongue. The Kobe VI version features a simple colorway with a different insole that doesn’t feature the ‘I WANT A SHOE THAT MOLDS TO MY FOOT’ graphic. Take another look below and stick with Sneaker News for more Kobe VI information and updates. via taobao.

Sneaker News has shown you monthly breakdowns of the Nike SB summer 2011 footwear collection, and having seen April and May, let’s wrap up Q2 with a look at June. In each of the two other months the Nike SB Dunk Pro has taken center stage, and while the black suede Mid with Orion Blue accents is undoubtedly dope, some extra attention will rightfully be focused on Eric Koston’s first Nike SB signature sneaker. The Zoom Koston One will debut in three different colorways, all with suede uppers and contrasting leather Swooshes. Elsewhere on the suede lowtop front is a Soft Blue Stefan Janoski Low and a duo of V-Rods with canvas accents. Paul Rodriguez will get new P-Rod 4s and 2.5s and you can see all of the above plus two new Zoom FPs, a couple of Blazers and the soon to return Zoom Harbor, in more photos when you click on the jump below. via MIA

A little treat for the Spring 2011 season comes in form of a Nike Dunk High but with a unique twist. Here’s a look at the Nike Dunk High AC Vintage, which features a soft suede upper with pre-yellowed midsoles. A closer look reveals that the midsole construction is actually taken from the old-school Nike Blazer as is the fat-bellied swoosh. We saw something similar to this Blazer x Dunk in ?uestlove’s recent collaboration with Nike – the tonal-yellow colorway of the ?uestlove x Nike Dunk High Bz, but the Dunk High AC debuted last year as part of the Nike Sportswear Six Collection from the 2010 World Cup. These are set to drop at select Nike Sportswear accounts for the Spring 2011 season so take another look below and let us know what you think. via FnG.

Nike All Conditions Gear is known for its wild colorways as much as any single characteristic, and while these aren’t done in the prototypical early ’90s ACG style, the above pictured model is every bit as iconoclastic. The Nike Air Terra Humara breaks one of the age old rules of fashion by mixing black and navy blue, but a quick look at the end result with its yellow-orange accents is yet more proof that the Swoosh is capable of walking the razor’s edge. Click through to get a better look at this rugged trail runner and grab yours today from NSW/ACG retailers including Premier.
