Are Kevin Durant and his various Nike KD V Elite PEs on the way out of the playoffs? It sure seems that way, as OKC has fallen to a near-insurmountable 1-3 in their current series with Memphis. And as one of the league’s premier sneaker stars wavers another stands strong, with LeBron James and the Heat happily pushing the Bulls aside and going up 3-1. Slightly unexpected sightings from this set of NBA games sneaker-wise included a very special Air Jordan V on feet for JR Brick Smith, a random Nike Air Force Max 2013 courtside for the Spurs, and the recurring LeBron Zoom Soldier fare on the feet of one Danny Green. Continue reading for all those and more in this edition of NBA Feet.

Further proof that we’re missing out on so much potential NBA Playoff goodness with all the injuries to big names: Derrick Rose‘s secondary adidas signature. There are only a select few athletes who have achieved success sufficient to warrant a sneaker offshoot, so even while we haven’t gotten to enjoy D-Rose’s on-court mastery in a good while, seeing him in a rarefied class with LeBron, Kobe, KD and Dwyane Wade is a solid reminder. This adidas Rose 773 Light colorway is one you’d naturally connect with fellow Chicago legend Michael Jordan, with its mix of Bulls and UNC colors making for a solid summertime hoop shoe. Check them out below and keep your eyes peeled because availability in Asia means they’ll hit US retailers soon.

It’s over six weeks since the last piece of Sneaker News regarding the adidas Rose 3 Low. But if you’ve been following the NBA closely, you might have seen Knicks guard Iman Shumpert rocking this previously unseen colorway during New York’s regular season finale. The Rose 3 Low ‘Cloud Gate’ takes its name from the stainless steel sculpture at AT&T Plaza in Chicago’s Millenium Park, a massive mirrored spectacle lovingly nicknamed ‘The Bean’. ’The Bean’ Rose 3 Lows have a metallic silver upper and chromed-out heel in honor of the Chi-town landmark, and they should arrive at retailers shortly with stock already available at select Asian stores.

Jeremy Scott seems focused on topping his own outlandish creations with each successive adidas Originals pair he whips up. We’d consider the Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals “Glitter Bear” shown here a definite success in that regard. The pairs put yet another different look onto the teddy sneakers, with both gold and silver colorways coming with a shiny metallic look across their upper. See both Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals JS Bear “Glitter” versions after the jump and check in with us for release info. Also, let us know in the comments if you think you can pull off a pair of these outlandish JS joints.

A few weeks back, adidas Basketball released a new ad featuring three of their young stars with narration by A$AP Rocky and some nifty visuals.

Are you ready for the next iteration of the adidas BOOST technology? Set to carry the torch for the design is the adidas adiZero Adios BOOST, which will be in stores come October 1st.

The latest example of an adidas Originals silhouette being ported over for skateboarding purposes is the first where both are arriving at retail around the same time. The adidas adicourt tennis shoe makes its first retro appearance on the Originals side this spring, and for skating, we see longtime Three Stripes rider Mark Gonzales apply an aqua canvas upper to a slightly altered design. This colorway, the canvas build and extremely affordable price point make for a very attractive summer shoe, and you’ll find them available now at adidas Skateboarding retailers.

Kanye West wearing adidas? That’s one you don’t see every day, especially considering the fact that the man’s been given his own signature shoe by Nike. Breaking from his typical brand loyalty, ‘Ye was spotted on the set of Anchorman: The Legend Continues wearing the adidas Originals Forum Mid. We’re gonna guess that the outfit was put together by a costume designer rather than Mr. West himself, which perhaps explains the rare Three Stripes sighting. Continue reading for the photos of Kanye West in adidas and let us know in the comments if you expect a spike in popularity for this sneaker as a result.
