Kevin Durant and his Oklahoma City Thunder have enjoyed extended breaks after both of their 2012 NBA Playoff series wins, and now that the Eastern Conference is down to a single game to determine its finalists, OKC is about to go into battle against what might be the most well-oiled basketball machine we’ve seen over the past decade. This military-leaning Nike Zoom KD IV fits that theme though they’re far more likely to show up at your local park ‘battlegrounds’ than Sunday’s West Finals Game 1. The Rogue Green-based colorway offers tremendous versatility even with Total Orange Swooshes in tow, and you can find them available now at select Nike Basketball retailers like Finish Line or get yours now on eBay.

You didn’t forget about the Nike Total Griffey Max ’99 did you? The model started off the year pretty strong with a handful of releases popping up in the first couple of months, only to suddenly disappear as winter faded away. If there’s any colorway that can get your attention again though this is it, a white based pair with a supporting cast of colors that has it looking quite ‘Grape’ like. What’s more it comes as the combo probably closest to the fan favorite Mariners look we’ve seen, so these have summer banger written all over them pretty much any way you slice it. Hit the jump for a better look and pick up this Nike Total Griffey Max ’99 now at retailers like Finishline.

Basketball sneakers are getting lighter, but are they necessarily stronger? If you think back at some of the most rock-solid sneakers in history (especially after last night’s Hyperdunk fiasco), you can’t look much farther than the Barkley line and the Air Max2 CB ’94; often considered to be one of the greatest basketball sneakers of all time, the CB ’94s were brought back in 2012 with a lightweight, seamless upper and a fresh arsenal of colorways, like this Summer-ready White/Royal/New Green package. This new colorway is available right now at Finishline so take a look at the seven angles below and let us know if you prefer to ball in the slightly heavier 90′s basketball kicks.

The Nike Air Flight ’89 has come back strong in its 23rd anniversary year, this second grey-uppered release of 2012 reflecting both how popular that neutral shade is and how versatile this classic silhouette really can be. We got a considerably more energetic look out of grey nubuck when Neptune Blue and Action Green accented the Stealth edition, so especially by comparison, this new Cool Grey, Anthracite and white mix comes off as its primary color would suggest. This is another one of those highly wearable models you can make one of your spring/summer go-to looks and they’re available now at Finish Line.

Given how many pairs of kicks we buy and at the prices at which they’re offered, it’s easy to forget that sneakerheads actually represent a small portion of major shoe brands’ bottom line. Research and development costs keep the price of cutting edge technology high, but the gains carry over and as manufacturing efficiency improves, the prices for new pairs are more affordable relative to their specs. Take for example the Nike Air Max Dominate XD, an affordably priced outdoor basketball sneaker whose eXtra Durable Rubber outsole, multilayered ventilation and Max Air cushioning make them perfect for pounding the pavement this summer. The three pairs pictured above features the basic team-based varieties as well as one that mixes greys with Volt for one of this season’s trendiest looks – all available now from Finish Line.

Has the Nike Air Max+ 2012 helped you make good on your New Year’s Resolutions? The latest Air Max running flagship has been going strong with new colorways since its January lanuch, so even if you haven’t been eating more vegetables or learned how to pull off that elusive cartwheel, Nike Running still has a few more motivational tricks up its sleeve. This new Air Max 2012 pairs Anthracite and Tonal Orange in a way that keeps their merger to the Fuse ventilated sections, a pattern following after the Dark Grey/Chrome Yellow edition and vaguely similar to the Huarache Frees that have done so well this spring. So between designs like these and the truly blended AM2012 colorups, we have quite a few options when it comes to novel color combos; how does this style compare to all the others? You’ll see more images after the jump to aide your decision, then look for these at select retailers like FinishLine.

‘Stealth and Cool Grey’ sounds like a color lineup for a particularly neutral edition of an Air Jordan Legacy more than one from one of MJ’s vanquished foes. But that’s exactly what’s happening on this new Nike Air Max Barkley, the updated Air Max2 CB34 silo whose VacTech-molded upper confers to this uber-neutral two-toned palette some serious depth. These are ripe for a bright lace swap, or rock them as-is for the perfect punctuation to any number of outfits. The Stealth and Cool Grey Air Max Barkley is arriving now at Nike Sportswear retailers across the country, and you can find them now at your local Finish Line.

The subject of a recent ‘On the Fence’ feature, the Air Jordan 10 ‘Stealth’ has exceeded expectations during the past few months that’ve been more filled with huge releases than many entire years gone by. Maybe it’s because they hit on this season’s key palette, or maybe the desire for Air Jordan 10 Retros has been quietly building since the 2005s, but more likely a combination of these reasons that explain how this one has been able to move so swiftly. If you missed out on the first run of them, you’re in luck, as Finish Line has restocked nearly all sizes so there are more available in addition to the pairs currently listed on eBay.
