With the help of Carmelo Anthony, the New York Knicks solidified their Playoffs spot in the Eastern Conference and grabbed the sixth overall seed. During that first-round series against the Boston Celtics, Carmelo Anthony debuted the Jordan Melo M7 Advance, his signature M7 remastered with lightweight performance technology like Flywire. The first Black/Metallic Silver-White colorway features a ‘Space Jam‘-esque motfif, using a tonal black upper, white midsole, and translucent outsole, but a closer look reveals faux-carbon fiber on the Flywire panels for added stability, and of course, the visible Max Air. These will be limited to House of Hoops and Nike retailers in New York City on June 1st with a price-tag of $130, so check out the additional detailed images below and let us know what you think of the Jordan Melo M7 Advance.

Something about this combination of black, club purple, and platinum has that Baltimore Ravens swag, does it not? The Nike Air Trainer Huarache returns in this new colorway featuring a black/purple upper with a platinum grey midsole and forefoot strap for a rugged yet sleek appeal – similar to that of the Ravens uniforms that big-hitters like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed have instilled an aura of fear and respect for over a decade. Nikestore just got these new joints in so take a look below for a closer look and head there for your own pair!

Jordan Brand introduced the Jordan BCT Low – a training-specific athletic shoe that combined Jordan Brand’s sleek styling with proven architectural design from Nike Training footwear. Here’s a look at the Mid version, aptly named the Jordan BCT Mid; the forefoot strap has been moved up to the ankle, and the upper features a multiple materials like a thin nubuck shell, breathable mesh, and a composite material on the toe and in-step that provides stability and lightweight advantages. Could the Jordan BCT Mid be a good basketball shoe? There’s no reason why it wouldn’t be, as the BCT Mid is an all-purpose athletic shoe that provides comfort and support from all angles. Check out the extra images below and watch for these to hit Jordan Brand retailers this July.

There haven’t been too terribly many new Nike Basketball releases with Shox cushioning in the past few years, possibly connected with the fact that only two NBA players were spotted rocking them as recently as last season. But this year was different with a revival of big men wearing the pillar-soled sneakers and preview images revealing that next season will see Shox paired with what figures to be among the league’s most popular models. The Nike Hypershox 2011 can be succinctly described as the Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 plus Shox in the heel, the futuristic Fuse uppers a worthy match to next generation Air Shox. This first grey, red and white colorway looks to be one of the first of the model also referred to as (Air) Shox Hyperballer (2011), and though the retail release remains a while off, you can see some detailed images after the jump and grab a few sizes early from Kicks-lab.

Arriving at retailers this July is the Jordan SC-2, follow-up to the Jordan SC-1 that debuted last year. The Jordan SC-1 was most recognized for its super-high tongue and the use of the classic Air Jordan III midsole, so is the SC-2 any different? No longer do we see the AJ3 midsole, but an updated version of the Air Jordan IV midsole that we saw in the Jordan Flight 9 (which also debuted last year). Additional details include the unique perforated panel on the upper and the use of elephant print on the heel guard. These three colorways will become available in July at Jordan Brand retailers, so take a look at all three below and let us know what you think.

Last January, Tinker Hatfield and Tom Luedecke described the luxurious and feral molded leather seen on the upper of the Air Jordan 2011, explaining that the inspiration behind the unique detail was of a ‘warrior’, as seen from the film Avatar. The upcoming trio of the Air Jordan 2011 releases has been dubbed the ‘Warrior’ Pack, a fitting name as the three colorways can be likened to colors painted on the bodies and faces of fierce tribal clansmen. The Black/Neo Lime, Tech Grey/Orion Blue, and Varsity Red/Medium Grey are all set for release on June 4th, with stores like SneakerPolitics taking pre-orders right now for this limited release, so take a look at a new images below and pick up the Neo Lime, Orion Blue, and Varsity Red colorways right now on eBay.

The age of the hybrid continues at the Nike labs, as we get a look at the Nike Huarache Free 2012, set for a Spring 2012 debut. This hybrid sneaker isn’t just a random pairing, but a combination of two of the most revolutionary running designs in their respective eras (think back to the Nike Huarache Free Basketball). The Huarache Runner was built unlike any other running shoe at the time, and the 2004 debut of Nike Free paved an all new direction not only for Nike, but for the running industry as a whole. Four colorways of this best-of-both-worlds creation are set for a release, all of which are detailed below. Continue reading for another look and let us know what you think about this upcoming hybrid shoe, and let us know what other classics would pair well with a Free-grooved outsole. via CK.

It’s been two years since Eric Koston joined the Nike Skateboarding team, and since then, Koston’s been riding in a number of different Nike SB models like the Blazer CS, Blazer Low, and his Nike SB Dunk Low/High ‘Koston’ that dropped last year. He now has a shoe to call his own, one that is truly distinguished from the rest of the Nike SB line thanks to the LunarLon cushioning. A release event at the Nike Vault also allowed 24 lucky Koston fans to grab the super-limited Nike SB Kobe x Koston Humidor box, a rare set highlighted by the funky Kobe VI x Koston 1 hybrid shoe. But June 4th is the date to circle if you’re been excited about the first Lunar-cushioned skate shoe, so check out Nike SB retailers like Premier on release date to cop your pair, or go ahead and grab the Blue pair early on eBay.

On July 8th, 2010, LeBron James made a public announcement on ESPN, wearing a red and white checkered shirt and some Nike Toki Mids, to make known his decision – one that would change the NBA horizon for the next decade. What resulted was a public backlash, labeling the player who was once a king as a Judas – a traitorous individual who would forsake his people without looking back. LeBron James has made it clear time and time again that his ‘decision’ was based on professional success, and recently apologized for the way the whole ordeal transpired, but in the end, what matters is that the decision was the right one, because LeBron James is back in the NBA Finals, joining his teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
The road to the Finals was not an easy one; constantly under the eye of public scrutiny, the Miami Heat were not the record-breaking juggernaut everyone assumed they would be, as they managed to win an impressive yet underwhelming 58 regular season wins, a far cry from the 72 wins set by the Chicago Bulls in the ’95-’96 season. Still, the Miami Heat, who captured the number-2 seed in the Eastern Conference, steamrolled through the Playoffs and won when it truly mattered (up to this point), and a rematch of the 2006 Finals is now set. For this fifth and final game of the ECF, LeBron James debuted an all-new PE colorway of the Nike LeBron 8 PS, a two-toned black and red colorway that matched the Heat’s away uniform. Dwyane Wade wore the ‘Away’ PE of the Jordan Fly Wade, and Mike Miller switched over to the Zoom KD III ‘Blackout’. The 2011 NBA Finals are now set, so check out the Game 5 recap below and stick with Sneaker News for NBA Feet coverage of the Finals. via Yahoo!.

Simplicity is a concept tough to grasp when creating a Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke, but here’s a look at the latest creation to come out of the 21 Mercer studios – a Nike Air Force 1 Bespoke, designed by Aron Dayar, inspired by the Houston Astros. Simple is key, as the basic black upper is matched with a white swoosh and heeltab, but take a closer look and you’ll see contrasting materials of wool and diamond-embossed leather. The midsole takes on a solid grey with a translucent outsole, and the interior is lined with elephant print for an contrast to the tonal colorway. The slightest hints of orange are seen on the uppermost lace eyelet, the first ‘A’ on the AIR insignia, and a unique tongue, which features nothing more than an orange star stitched on black leather. Check out more of Aron Dayar’s Bespoke below and let us know what you think.
