Dropping this December is GQ Magazine’s “Men of The Year” Issue.  Inside you’ll find some of hip-hop’s heavy hitters in the likes of Wale, Drake and Kid Cudi.  The three of them flossing their own distinctive look, not to mention some heat on their feet.  Wale, whose been the envy of many with his super-early possession of the Dirty Copper Foams, is once again making viewers drool with the Red Supreme Dunk Hi’s, a huge grail for quite a number of sneakerheads.  On the other side, Cudi is wearing a more recent release in the form of the DMP Raptor VII’s.  Drake is wearing something that’s pretty much under the radar to the sneaker world, but undoubtedly steals the photo with his Birdman coat and ear-to-ear grin.  Good looks to NahRight and AllThings-Fresh for the inside look at the spread.

The tragic death of DJ AM earlier this year has left one of the world’s great sneaker collections without an owner.  Most of Adam Goldstein’s huge collection were Nikes, and he had a pair of Dunks on the way.  Maybe the upcoming auction of his size 11 pairs from ‘The Icebox’ will provide Nike with a way to release them in tribute.  It would be appropriate if his design could benefit the DJ AM Memorial Fund, as will 100% of the proceeds from the eBay auctions set to start on November 15th.  Check the batteries in your smoke detectors before clicking the jump below to get a sense of the white-hot rarities you can expect come this weekend.

When George’s new show, Lopez Tonight, premiered on TBS Tuesday night, he welcomed fellow LA-guy Kobe Bryant with a Scotty Cameron putter.  On paper (or your computer screen), that sounds pretty generous, but when you consider that Lopez was reciprocating ‘cos KB blessed him with a pair of ‘Chaos’ Nike Zoom Kobe Vs (5), it might be reasonable to wonder if the host got the better end of that one.  As for their conversation, parts were quite funny, especially the ‘audience’ questions at the end.  Enjoy the entire video, including a good look at an almost Hornets-like jacket that nicely compliments the Chaos ZK5.

Acquired in the offseason, Rasheed Wallace, has helped the Boston Celtics get off to a hot start this 2009-10 NBA Regular Season, and he’s done so not only in a new Boston Celitcs’ uniform but also in a new pair of Nike Air Force 1 High Torch PE’s. When we originally showcased ‘Sheed’s “NBA Feet” last month, we were under the perction that ‘Sheed was wearing a pair of Nike Air Force 1 High’s in Black and Ice but now upon closer inspection it looks as if Nike has included one of it’s newest materials, Torch, in Sheed’s Air Force 1 High PE. The new Torch material is supposed to not only be lighter but also more breathable. No word yet on whether or not we’ll see an Air Force 1 Torch come to retail. via HK-Kicks

Lebron James decided that for his one and only visit to Madison Square Garden during this 2009-10 NBA Regular Season he would switch things up a little bit, specifically his shoes, while a number of us thought King James might wear the Nike Air Max Lebron VII Yankees edition he actually decided to wear the NFW (No Flywire) “Red Carpet” colorway of his seventh signature shoe from Nike Basketball.
