Is it possible that the Ewing Focus Retro will arrive while the New York Knicks are still hanging around in the 2013 NBA Playoffs? If so, can you imagine how awesome it would be to see them actually hit the court for any given Knickerbocker? Granted, due to brand allegiances that’s not too likely to happen, but we can dream. And the colorway support is certainly there in the form of the Ewing Focus Retro “Knicks” that’s shown off here. Check out the sneaker after the jump and watch for a summer release from Ewing Athletics.

The second round of NBA Playoff Basketball is in full effect, and already there are some notable headlines to point out! The Heat were unable to stop the Bulls stampede, the Knicks shooting woes continued before they evened up the series in Game 2, the OKC Thunder learned that their battle against the Grizzlies will go down to the wire, and the young Warriors learned that the Spurs are afraid of no deficit. With the number of teams winding down, the sneaker headlines aren’t as frequent anymore, as we’ve already covered LeBron’s Nike LeBron X “MVP” and D-Wade’s Li-Ning Way of Wade Encore, but some other notable sightings included Iman Shumpert’s sole-swapped adidas Real Deal and Draymond Green’s LeBron X iD. Peep NBA Feet below, and stay tuned for more this Friday!

It appears that the Nike KD VI will take things back to the low-hitting shape for Kevin Durant’s signature sneaker. The shape even looks a little lower than the Nike Zoom KD IV, with the cut having many folks calling out the foot-ball boot similarities. So far the only colorway we’ve got a look at is this, a yellow and blue concoction that doesn’t quite line up with the OKC colors that we’re used to seeing first off on Durant’s stuff. Click through to get a complete look at this, what appears to be the Nike KD VI, and let us know if you’ve come around on the sneaker just yet.

After leading the Los Angeles Clippers to their best season in history, Chris Paul sits on the sidelines after losing out in a hotly contested series against the Memphis Grizzlies. This leads us to wonder where the All-Star point guard will end up after his unrestricted free agency is resolved, and unfortunately means we won’t see him work any more magic on court this year in the Jordan CP3.VI AE. One place he won’t end up is Chicago, so this Bulls colorway ends up indirectly themed around 1s with serious 23 overtones. The latest CP3.VI AE is depicted further after the jump and available now at Jordan Brand retailers like Titolo (And additional US shops).

Game 1 of the Semi-final match-up against the Bulls started off pretty well for LeBron James, who accepted an MVP trophy in front of the Miami Heat Home crowd. In celebration of his latest achievement, LeBron wore the Nike LeBron X “MVP” that we unveiled to you not long ago – a pure mash-up of some of the more enticing LeBron X releases for a truly “What The” total package. Unfortunately for LeBron and the Heat, the momentum of the MVP festivities did not carry over into a W, but we’re certain the Heat will bounce back for Game 2!
