Pharrell Williams has definitely been stepping up his Jordan game lately as he’s been spotted wearing various colors of the Air Jordan III in the past few months, and just last night he was seen with a pair of the Air Jordan V ’3M’ sneakers on that were a part of the Toro Bravo (Raging Bull) Pack of 2009. Skateboard P got a decent wear out of these two year old Jordans (that darn creasing is inevitable) as he attended both the premiere of the Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival and the Vanity Fair After Party that followed. Get a closer look at Pharrell’s Jordan V’s after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Celebrity Feet coverage!

Rajon Rondo has managed to steal the spotlight from the aging ‘Boston Three Party’, emerging as the team’s true leader and offensive coordinator. He dropped 20 dimes on the Knicks in Game 3 and helped seal the deal in Game 4 to orchestrate to lone first-round sweep in the 2011 Playoffs. Rondo’s been rocking low-top kicks for most of the season (oddly enough, it’s the Kobe VI at the moment), and during one regular season game against NYK, he wore a ‘Cool Grey’-esque colorway of the 360 BB Low. The game will be noted for two key moments – Paul Pierce’s game-winning jumper, and Rondo turning his ankle rather severely wearing these shoes. However, Rondo gave the 360 BB Low another shot, and hopefully he’ll break out these sweet PEs during the remainder of the Playoffs. A new gallery of images await you below, so take a look and let us know what you think. via hk-kicks.

The Nike Lunarspider has weaved a unique web of sick colorways that have lured us in…and now we’re stuck. The UNDERCOVER ‘Gyakusou’ collaboration, the fierce zebra-print colorway, and even the simple GRs have given Nike Lunar fans something more to be excited about, and the upcoming Camouflage Pack make the Lunarspider a little more ‘sexier’. The two colorways of White/Metallic Silver (blocked in reverse fashion) accentuates the sleek, slimmed-down nature of the Lunarspider while the grey-toned camouflage adds a level of rugged styling to the luxurious colorway. Camouflage print has been one of the common themes of the Nike AFE Collection, which this shoe appears to be a part of. These are set to drop tomorrow at select retailers like Sneakernstuff, so continue reading for a new detailed gallery and let us know what you think.

Most of Penny Hardaway’s best loved hits are allusions to his briefly brilliant NBA career.  Orlando Magic colorways got the ball rolling and we’ve seen a few Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks and Miami Heat-inspired pairs garner some attention, and we’ve even seen the Half Cent hybrid offer a glimpse into the hypothetical question if he was ever a San Antonio Spur.  And that’s sorta where this latest Nike Air Max Penny 1 comes in, its Wolf Grey and white colorway similarly neutral to the SATX colors and giving you equal opportunity to employ your imagination.  Click through to see more of this new Air Penny Max 1 that just hit NikeStore and check for them at your local Nike Sportswear retailers like NYC’s West or on eBay.

These are expected to be widely popular regardless of its new form, so check out the new gallery of images below and if you’d like to grab a pair early, expect these to hit soon from air-randy on eBay.
