Who rocked the best kicks over the last two nights? That title might go to Jordan Crawford and his Air Jordan V ‘Raging Bull’ in a losing effort against the Knicks, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t other heat! Quentin Richardson rocked the Air Jordan X ‘Old Royal’, while the Chicago counterpart popped up on a few more players like Demar DeRozan, who has been exclusive to the Kobe VI for a while. LeBron James wore the Black/Red PE of his LeBron 9 again, Jordan Hill of the Rockets wore the Air Flight ’89 in a fitting colorway, and Jeremy Lin continued the Knicks’ ‘Linning’ ways with the Hyperfuse Low. We’ve got more NBA Feet going full speed ahead so take a look below and let us know who you thought had the best kicks! via Yahoo!

The simple fact is, while we still have an almost infinite amount of technical innovation ahead of us, certain things about the sneaker industry are almost set in stone by this point in history. For example, even in the craziest Jeremy Scott or Y-3 releases, the shape of any sneaker is still going to reflect our natural anatomy. And because of the fact that we’ve seen so many recognizeable designs over the past couple decades, it seems like the majority of palatable color combos have been utilized and given a nickname. But then you see something like the adidas Originals ZX 700, a familiar silhouette with a palette so unique, it makes you realize there’s still plenty of real estate left on the color wheel. These really just employ your basic ‘Microsoft/Google/eBay’ color scheme, but the subtle tweaks to each of the primary colors plus a pinch of purple gives these a simultaneously rustic and vibrant feel. Solid if not outstanding for a general release, you’ll find these at select adidas Originals accounts like SNS

adidas Basketball is determined to make sure that the 2012 NBA All-Star Game isn’t an entirely Swooshed out affair, dropping a couple special signature sneakers from their premier athletes. The adidas adiZero Rose 2.5 and the adidas adiPower Howard 2 are the models in question, both of which come in a vibrant set of citrus tones resulting in a unified look across the sneakers. We already know that both Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard have the capabilities to make a huge on-court impression, so will the big weekend along with these powerful colorways galvanize interest in their latest? Stick tuned for our All-Star coverage for how that pans out, and remember that both of these models will pop up at adidas Basketball retailers on February 23rd. via US10

When you think of non-traditional enclosures, examples like the Footscape’s asymmetrical lacing system, the Reebok Insta Pump Fury and Puma Disc Blaze are probably right at the top of the list. But none of those can hold a candle to the latest release from ever-innovative Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto‘s long-running collaboration with adidas, the Y-3 Black Savage hightop. Sporting a Tricolore sole with more teeth than your average hacksaw, this shelltoed boot-inspired design utilizes an elastic cord lockdown system like the one Yamamoto used on the Y-3 Sneak, another model we expect as part of the spring/summer 2012 collection. If you can’t believe your eyes, click through for more proof that these are indeed a real design, and you’ll find them at top-tier retailers like Ssense.

The NBA headlines continued over the last two days, as some major milestones were reached by two of the greatest players of this generation. Both Kobe Bryant and Paul Pierce moved up on their team’s respective all-time scoring list this week, further padding their Hall Of Fame resumes with impressive marks. The Jeremy Lin show continued in New York City as the Harvard grad continued to show the promise he first displayed in the 2010 Summer League games, while Kevin Durant and the Thunder stopped a magnanimous effort by Monta Ellis, who dropped 48 points in a loss. Check out a full visual recap of the games below and stick with Sneaker News for more NBA Feet coverage throughout the rest of the season! via Yahoo!

Jeremy Scott has been doing the animal inspired thing for adidas Originals for a minute now, but if you’re looking for a pair without all kinda wild additions hanging off the edges, then the Kinetics x adidas Originals Superstar 80s ‘Animal’ might be the one for you. Showing up on a classic shell-toed silhouette, the design here is a bit of a cross-breed with the leopard print horse hair matched with the scaly snakeskin of the side stripes. 2011 was certainly a big year for this sort of safari’d out sneaker, so can models like the Kinetics x adidas Originals Superstar 80s ‘Animal’ help carry the trend in 2012? Let us know what you think and hit the jump for extra shots of this upcoming collabo from adidas Originals. via Kenlu

It’s kinda nice to see a shoe with the vintage label without a bunch of yellowing and bruises busting up the clean look, isn’t it? The Size? x adidas Originals Rod Laver Vin Lux has a throwback feel what with the clean lines of this OG tennis silhouette, but it keeps the bar at a premium level with the canvas and suede combo. Breaking up the black pair a bit is some contrastive stitching, along with a few regal looking hits of gold toward the top of the shoe and on the adidas Originals branding on the insole. Follow us after the jump for the full shots and grab your pair from Size? now.

How many backboards have you shattered recently in your ballin’ exploits? If the number isn’t as high as you want it to be, then let us introduce you to the adidas adiPower Howard 2. The second sig for big man Dwight Howard is again built to best cater to a powerful player, all the while maintaining a light weight to let you explode when the time is right. The sneaker certainly makes a big impression, with Superman’s persona running throughout the details-from the DH logos, to the shattered glass print, to the extra big stripes on the sides. If you need any convincing then stick with us for the video spot after the jump, where Howard himself breaks down the new shoe in detail. We’ve also got a load of images of the first couple colorways of the adidas adiPower Howard 2, which will be hitting shelves this Thursday, February 9th.

We’ve got a full recap for you below so take a look and stick with Sneaker News for more NBA Feet coverage as we near the All-Star break. via ESPN.

Though its application isn’t as consistent as, say, a Jumpman on Air Jordan Retros, a fairly significant portion of classic designs from Nike Sportswear come with the classic orange Swoosh on their tongue tags. Historically, this has often indicated pre-yellowed VNTG releases, but the vulcanized soles on this new Nike Tennis Classic AC ND are clearly far too pristine to have gotten the oxidized touch. But one thing they are borrowing from the good old days is a colorway we’ve come to associate with adidas Tennis veterans like the Rod Laver and Stan Smith signature models, so how does a simple green-on-white palette suit this silhouette? Click through for more images and look for these at NSW retailers like Calirooots.
