Black History Month celebrates those individuals who have instilled significant marks in the culture and history of African-Americans, and through sport, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant have established themselves as examples of greatness, supremacy, persistent hard work, and success. Through the Nike Basketball Black History Month Pack, Nike pays homage to these three individuals and other important figures of Black History by releasing the three signature shoes in special colorways. Each pair features a Midnight Fog and Black base, adorned with an African quilt pattern that evokes tradition and history. You can catch all three pairs at select Nike Basketball retailers tomorrow, so let us know which of the three you like best and check out what’s available now on eBay.

Who rocked the best kicks over the last two nights? That title might go to Jordan Crawford and his Air Jordan V ‘Raging Bull’ in a losing effort against the Knicks, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t other heat! Quentin Richardson rocked the Air Jordan X ‘Old Royal’, while the Chicago counterpart popped up on a few more players like Demar DeRozan, who has been exclusive to the Kobe VI for a while. LeBron James wore the Black/Red PE of his LeBron 9 again, Jordan Hill of the Rockets wore the Air Flight ’89 in a fitting colorway, and Jeremy Lin continued the Knicks’ ‘Linning’ ways with the Hyperfuse Low. We’ve got more NBA Feet going full speed ahead so take a look below and let us know who you thought had the best kicks! via Yahoo!

Sure, some solitary sneaker releases like the recent Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’ Retro and a few others have packed as much (or more) anticipation and frenzy, but we’re not sure if there’s ever been a date in sneaker history with so many high profile releases all dropping on the same day. Where do we start? How about the Dave White Air Jordan 1 which has been heavily previewed and eagerly awaited while sitting in limbo without a confirmed release date? Or maybe the Nike ‘Black History Month’ Collection featuring Nike Basketball’s three-headed signature model monster and an accompanying set of four NSW offerings? Still not cracking your wallet open? Perhaps the ‘Old Royal’ Air Jordan X will change your mind. Or with Valentine’s Day on the way, maybe it will be a pair of the ‘Voltage Cherry’ Air Jordan IV GS for the lady or little lady in your life. Last but not least is the ‘Dynamic Blue’ colorway of the popular Zoom Rookie LWP model which has thus far been absent from the 2012 release schedule until now.
Quite a crop indeed, and while there is no singular release in the eleven sneakers anywhere near Concord-ian magnitude, the sum of all these parts adds up to quite possibly the most action-packed release date we’ve ever seen and a lot of difficult decisions for sneakerheads everywhere. Oh yeah, and by the way, White/Cement Air Jordan IV’s drop next Saturday and the All-Star weekend batch at the end of the month may trump this week’s bonanza. Hottest month ever? Foot Locker thinks so. Time to smash open those piggy banks and gear up for month long release mayhem, all starting tonight at midnight on NikeStore and nationwide at brick and mortar retailers like Extra Butter. Let us know what you’ll be copping tomorrow night and stay tuned to Sneaker News for all the latest on the February heatwave.

LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant are without question three of the most powerful forces in the NBA, traveling to unforeseen heights that few other have ever reached. A numerous collection of MVP awards, All-Star accolades, post-season successes, and international presence have placed a cosmic spotlight on these three mega-stars, and to celebrate their 2012 NBA All-Star Game selections is a special ‘galaxy’ theme inspired by space exploration and the supernova. The Nike Zoom Kobe VII, Nike Zoom KD IV, and Nike LeBron 9 all feature the inter-galactic imagery with gleaming glow-in-the-dark outsoles and unique mission patches adorning each distinct shoe. The Nike Basketball 2012 All-Star Collection will become available on February 25th on the eve of the All-Star Weekend’s main event at select Nike Basketball retailers, so continue reading for a detailed look at this astronomical collection below.

The NBA headlines continued over the last two days, as some major milestones were reached by two of the greatest players of this generation. Both Kobe Bryant and Paul Pierce moved up on their team’s respective all-time scoring list this week, further padding their Hall Of Fame resumes with impressive marks. The Jeremy Lin show continued in New York City as the Harvard grad continued to show the promise he first displayed in the 2010 Summer League games, while Kevin Durant and the Thunder stopped a magnanimous effort by Monta Ellis, who dropped 48 points in a loss. Check out a full visual recap of the games below and stick with Sneaker News for more NBA Feet coverage throughout the rest of the season! via Yahoo!

The Nike Zoom KD IV train keeps moving forward at insane speeds thanks to the high-octane releases that have hit retailers in just a two-month span. Dropping this Saturday is yet another KD IV instant hit – the Nike Zoom KD IV ‘BHM’; as part of the 2012 Black History Month collection, this heritage-inspired colorway features a unique detailing on the inner lining, Adaptive Fit strap, and the outsole, revealed through the translucent bottom. Throwing the ‘BHM’ into the mix will only make the KD IV one of the most sneakerhead-friendly kicks ever (great ‘collect-able’ nature, generous price-point), and what’s scary is that there’s still a ton of gas left in the tank! Watch for these to hit Nike Basketball retailers this Saturday, or grab a pair now from overseas seller limitedshoes on eBay.

Superbowl Weekend was, of course, dominated by NFL coverage, but don’t overlook the games that went down on Friday, Saturday, and before the big game! Seen on court were LeBron and D-Wade’s new PEs of their signature shoes, Earl Clark’s Air Foamposite One ‘Royal’, Ty Lawson’s Nike LeBron 9 ‘Cool Grey’, and a plethora of Air Jordan XIs on Monta Ellis, Michael Beasley, and more. Other notables include Jordan Crawford’s Air Jordan VII ‘Cardinal’, Chris Paul’s Jordan CP3.V PE, and a special shoutout to Jeremy Lin, who rocked the Garden in the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Low. We’ve got a full recap for you below so take a look and stick with Sneaker News for more NBA Feet coverage as we near the All-Star break. via ESPN.

He might not win the scoring title this year, but is Kevin Durant the NBA’s most valuable player? His Oklahoma City Thunder sit atop the Western Conference and own the league’s best winning percentage, and KD just secured his third straight All-Star nod and second straight start. We’ve also noticed his Nike Basketball signature series take a leap with more hit colorways than ever before, and his Nike Zoom KD IV ’All-Star’ is likely to satisfy fans of the ‘Nerf’ and ‘Weatherman’ standouts. The ‘All-Star’ KD IV is arguably the calmest of the Swoosh’s ‘big three’, but it still bears clear signs of the (all-)star/galaxy/NASA/Orlando theme that itself might be the best ASG pack we’ve seen come down from Beaverton. Notable details include the tongue tag, speckled midsole and the wild interplay of metallic silver upper and translucent blue bottom with orange peeking through as yet more proof that 2012 won’t look like any of the All-Star Games in recent memory.
