Check out all the sneaker action over the last two nights in the NBA; starting on Monday, the Celtics and Knicks threw down again at the Garden, with Ray Allen wearing a Jordan Evolution ’85 PE, Paul Pierce wearing an Air Legacy 2 PE, and Carmelo Anthony wearing a new PE colorway of the Jordan Melo M7. Derrick Rose and the raging Bulls continued their winning ways, with their fearless leader wearing a new grey/red PE of the adidas adiRose 1.5. In that same game, Kings rookie DeMarcus Cousins wore a dazzling purple/metallic silver PE colorway of the Air Max Fly By. Last night featured just three games, one of which included the triple-OT thriller between the Suns and the Lakers. Channing Frye sported a new Zoom Kobe VI iD, Steve Nash was still rocking the Zoom Go Low, and Vince Carter wore an Air Max Hyperdunk 2010 PE. The Lakers’ Kobe Bryant wore the White/Black-Concord colorway of the Kobe VI. Another match-up worth noting was between the Wizards and Blazers; Gerald Wallace rocked the Bulls XIII while Washington’s Othyus Jeffers wore the Air Jordan 2011 in White/Black. Check out the rest of the NBA action below, and stick with Sneaker News for more NBA Feet coverage as the season winds down! via ESPN.

Barring some absolutely bizarre circumstances over his Oklahoma City Thunder’s last 13 regular season games, Kevin Durant is set to capture his second consecutive NBA scoring title. And with Kobe Bryant not getting any younger plus each of the other four members of the current top five sharing a spot with one teammate, it’ll take an equally strange development (or maybe Monte Ellis shooting even more often) to see anything stand between KD and an MJ-like streak of PPG crowns. And while it’s premature to suggest his career arc is anything like Jordan’s, Durant is also enjoying the strongest year yet for his signature sneakers, a fact punctuated with an exclamation (or three) in the form in these new Nike Zoom KD III colorways. Two of the three make use of gradients along their side panels while the black pair goes for a carbon fiber inset, instead opting for an opalescent finish on the forefoot Flywire that has us wondering what other kinds of special sheens we could see come playoff time. Click through to get a better look at all three new colorways of the KD3 and grab yours today from NikeStore.

Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers will be deeply rooted into the Playoffs once May arrives, and while many of you Kobe fans will have your fingers crossed for Zoom Kobe VI ‘Big Stage‘ or even a ‘Six Rings’ colorway, you can still enjoy these two May 2011 releases. The Black/Concord Purple gradient upper was debuted by Kobe in late February, but won’t release until May 5th, and the second ‘Draft Day‘ colorway (from the Charlotte Hornets, the original team that selected him in 1996) will drop on May 26th. Check out detailed images of both upcoming colorways after the jump, and let us know which of the two you like better.

Sneaker News first showed you preview images of Nike Sportswear’s ‘White Pack’ last week and already these classic kicks with the immortal summertime look are beginning to hit European retailers. Pictured above is the Nike Dunk High Premium done in a crinkled patent leather whose unique texture offers both shine and depth of tone, the latter of which is enhanced greatly by its resting place atop an icey translucent sole. Through those semi-clear bottoms you can make out a fingerprint-like pattern on the bottom, a fitting detail considering the essentially infinite customization possibilities just from adding a pair of your own laces. Click through to get a better look at the White Pack Dunk Highs and expect them at US NSW accounts soon; Germany’s Schuh-You just got theirs.

It’s always fun to design a 1of1 on NIKEiD, but sometimes you might feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options and decide to leave the colorblocking to the professionals. So if you’re searching for some perfectly balanced new runners for spring, look no further than this new quartet of Nike LunarHaze+es. Each of these pairs maximizes the LunarHaze’s swooping designs by offering two-toned midsoles that converge into the accented heel counter. Check out new pairs in white/grey, black/grey, grey/purple/black and a Chicago home colorway that rounds out the group and if you like what you see, cop yours today from NikeStore.

In recent years, the phrase ‘Air Max Plus’ would have you thinking about Apple integrated running, but before the ‘+’ was applied to most Swoosh runners, it meant something else entirely. Released even before the heyday of Napster and three years before the first iPod hit retail, the Nike Air Max Plus hit store shelves as a ‘tuned’ up alternative to the Air Max 98. Their technology and aesthetics have aged gracefully and now the Flywire-equipped Air Max Plus 1.5 is ready to make another run at top performance. This new Cool Grey and Team Orange colorup is right in line with the simple yet head-turning palettes we’ve come to expect of late and you can see more after the jump, then head over to Eastbay to grab a pair today.

Carmelo Anthony finally broke out a Knicks-centric colorway of the Air Jordan Melo M7 to match New York’s St. Patrick’s Day green uniforms and followed that up with a bright orange Future Sole M7. We had been eagerly anticipating such color coordination since his February trade from the Denver Nuggets but Melo was back in black for the Knicks’ Monday night game against Boston at Madison Square garden. The choice of an all-black suede Melo M7 was a curious one in light of both teams wearing their classic jerseys, the Knicks’ version of which has no black unlike the newer uniform, yet they still managed a cohesive look thanks to Carmelo’s signature long black socks and knee pads. Click through to get a better look at this icey-soled M7 and let us know how they compare to the others we’ve shown you here on Sneaker News’ ongoing NBA Feet feature. via JB

As is the case with the entire Brand With the Three Stripes, adidas Skateboarding is ‘All In’. We’ve seen the rapid-fire TV spot with that same name receive a two-minute build out that featured more of their stylings and now the brand’s grinders are given a promo video all their own. This video details some of the exploits of adidas Skate stars like Mark Gonzales, Dennis Busenitz and Silas Baxter-Neal killin’ it in the beautiful Brazilian cities Sao Paolo and Rio de Janiero in what figures to be something of a prelude to Three Stripes’ eventual domination of the latter come the 2014 World Cup. Click through to watch the video in its entirety and stick with Sneaker News for the latest adidas Skate releases.

We haven’t seen a new colorway in a little over six months but when the new releases were coming out regularly, the Air Jordan Team ISO was among Jordan Brand’s better received team models in recent years. The name is back but its silhouette has changed somewhat for the Team ISO Low, a design that’s perhaps closer to a sequel to the Ol’ School II and III (but not IV) than a true lowtop of the OG Team ISO. One place the similarity is clear is on the tooling, where a grey sole meets a white midsole in a combo that echoes the rest of this summertime look’s construction. Click through to see more and if you like what you see, look for these at select JB retailers like FinishLine.

The Gourmet Quattro does a great job of bridging the brand’s Air Jordan-inspired beginnings with their status as growing into one of the more pleasing lifestyle sneaker catalogs in the industry. And just like Nike before them branching out into the skate market with the classic Dunk basketball silhouette, Gourmet has been able to translate the AJXII-derived Quattro hightop into a skate model. This sleight of foot has also transformed the silhouette sufficiently that the Quattro Skate now borrows even more like the Twelve’s signature mudguard panels, mutating this asymmetrical look into a well-placed ollie protection area. Two new tonal suede and tumbled leather pairs have added translucent outsoles and await your click on the jump below, so have a better look at red and brown pairs and let us know which ones you prefer. via Dunk
