Kenyon Martin‘s return to the NBA was huge for the Knicks, as he provided some much-needed low-post presence for the ailing big-men on the New York roster. In his first few games back in the league, he showed up in some nice Air Jordan Retros, and although he’s reverted back to basic Nike Basketball kicks, there’s no knowing what K-Mart might bring out for the Playoffs because he’s just given us a taste of his Air Jordan Collection. No boxes, no closets, no vaults – just a simple and neat floor lay-out of some notable Retro releases over the last year with some other specialties sprinkled in. This is probably just a portion of his overall collection, so check out his Air Jordans below and let us know what you’re impressed with the most!

There comes a point where one’s sneaker collection begins to take up an unwieldy amount of space. Once you get up to a couple hundred, close space is definitely out of the question, and whole rooms become occupied with footwear relics of years past. Coming in with one of the most Hoarders-scale collections we’ve seen in a while is Jon Hundreds, associate of West Coast streetwear powerhouse The Hundreds and an alumni of the old WDYWT section here on Sneaker News. If you spent any time on that sub-section of our site then you know what Jon’s working with. There are Air Jordans, Air Maxes, Dunks, Foamposites, most of which are worn to some extent-reflecting the man’s passion for actually lacing up his favorite footwear instead of just staring at it. Continue reading for a peek at the massive collection of Jon Hundreds and go ahead and act like you’re not impressed down in the comments section.

We see you, Joe. Cleveland Browns defensive extraordinaire has a pretty serious sneaker game and quite the neat and tidy arrangement of kicks, with the dominant forces being Air Jordans and LeBrons (the Cleveland connection), but he’s got plenty of other joints like the KD, Kobe, and Foamposite. The highlights have to be on his sneaker “throne”, which boasts a sick stash of Air Yeezys, South Beach LeBrons, Corks, and two of the most hard-to-get Air Jordan VIIs in the Bin 23 and Miro, but who knows what else he’s got in his closet? Think you got a sneaker collection that can rival that of Joe Haden? Better come correct because he’s ready to defend his own. Check out a full shot below and let us know what you think!

The art of sneaker collecting can get a bit obsessive to the point where one starts to hoard sneakers that aren’t his/her side. Of course, if you a have future sneakerhead tike on the way, amassing some Baby Air Jordans wouldn’t be a bad idea. Air Jordans have been a “full family size” thing for a while, with Sneaker News giving you a nice showcase of Baby Air Jordans and Nikes a few years back, but one collector who goes by the handle henry071 has a pretty impressive stash of his own. Air Jordans in OG and Retro form are all waiting to be rocked by his future child, so check out the highlights below and let us know if you’d rock your future little ones in heat!

There’s no doubt that Jordan Brand athlete Chris Paul’s sneaker rotation is on point. Whatever he wants, he’s got, and with the Clippers point guard being a bit more on the sharing side with his on-feet heat these days, we’ve been wondering just how deep his closet it. We’re finally given just a taste of Chris Paul’s sneaker closet courtesy of his wife Jada, who took this photo and informs us this s “only a portion” of what he’s really got. Air Jordan Retros galore, plus a slew of unreleased Air Jordan IV colorways like the recently seen Purple PEs and the Grey joints, but looks like CP3′s got a golf swing based on the TW ’13 sitting at the very end of the table-top (note the Air Jordan XIII PE in the far left shelf). A full shot is below, so take a look and see if you can find some of your favorites.

Nate Robinson made national news when he wore the ‘Solar Red’ Nike Air Yeezy 2 during a game against the Spurs earlier this week. The (only) three-time NBA Slam Dunk champion is no stranger to showing out on the biggest stages, and with what we already know about his sneaker collecting predilections, it’s no coincidence that the Chicago Bulls guard’s on-court sneaker rotation is anchored by Air Jordans. So while the Yeezys are a neck-breaker, they’re far from the only heat in Kryptonate’s collection, as evidenced by this new image from the Bulls locker room. Here we see everything from golden era OG Air Jordan colorways to recent releases like the ‘Bright Crimson’ IIIs (‘Bred’ XIs conspicuous by their absence); what’s the best pair in this pile in your eyes (and what happened to his ‘Doernbecher’ 3s from earlier in the year)? Let us know after you’ve seen them all below and stick with Sneaker News to see what’s in store for the Playoffs coming up soon.

If you had to estimate the value of your entire sneaker collection, where would you put the price? There might be a ton of box digging and calculations involved in that estimation, but it’s worth pondering what kind of an investment you’ve built up via your obsessive tendencies throughout the years. This ambitious seller has done that, slapping quite the bounty on his massive set, which includes wide ranging goodies like the Nike Air Max 1 ‘Crepe’, the Air Jordan XI ‘Cool Grey’, and some crispy looking New Balances as well. Get a couple previews from the pack and then check the collection auction from svpunpseudo on eBay.

So yesterday we gave you a nice showcase of Sneakers and Dogs in a contest put forth by Crooked Tongues, and the response to the clash of the cuddly and the deadstock was, without surprise, rather high. Continuing the trend of sneakers and “things that have nothing to do with sneakers” is this impressive showcase of miniature sneakers and toys put together by IG user iwantyoursole. It mixes classic with classic as we see Raphael of the Ninja Turtles holding up both Infrared colorways of the Air Jordan VI and futuristic with a Pewter Foamposites and Robocop, so check out this dope showcase below and let us know which is your favorite.
