While Selection Sunday came and went most of us were still left in awe after watching Kemba Walker of the UConn Huskies and his amazing performance at the 2011 Big East Tournament. The Junior Guard, who most will argue deserves Player of the Year Honors, led his team to five amazing wins in the span of five days, beating out opponent after opponent to earn the right to be called 2011 Big East Champion and an automatic birth into the NCAA Tournament as a #3 seed. While Walker and his teammates are getting ready to play in this week’s first round games we’re definitely excited to see what #15 has in store from his sneaker closet after he debuted the Air Jordan 6-17-23 in Black, Concord, Dark Grey, and Orion Blue during the Big East Tournament. Most sneakerheads will be calling Kemba’s 6-17-23 hybrid Jordan colorway the “Aqua’s” after their striking resemblance to the infamous Air Jordan VIII “Aqua” colorway. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as to whatever it is that Kemba is wearing on the court come Thursday, March 17th when UConn plays Bucknell in Washington D.C. as a part of the West Region’s first round games. Check out more images after the jump, and get your own pair of 6-17-23s now on eBay.

Darrelle Revis was amongst the various celebrities in attendance to watch Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets take on Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire and the hometown New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden last night. Was last night a preview of what might be in store for Knicks’ fans come 2012 with CP3, Melo, and STAT on the floor at the same time? Only time will tell, but should it become a reality, we’re sure that the Knicks would definitely give the Heat a run for their money considering how good they’ve looked even without CP3 at point over the last few games. Back to Revis Island though, the Jets’ star cornerback was spotted sitting courtside with a pair of the Air Jordan XI ‘Cool Grey’s’ on while a buddy of his sat next to him in a pair of Air Yeezy’s. Also in attendance was Landry Fields’ biggest fan, Spike Lee, who wore his Nike Zoom Kobe VI iD’s, as well as Swizz Beatz, Vanessa Hudgens, and more.
