Is Skylar Diggins the next great WNBA athlete? The third overall selection of the 2013 WNBA Draft will at the very least sport some sweet shoes as she shows off her Nike Kobe 8 PE in a Yellow/Red colorway, match the uniform of the Tulsa Shock. The WNBA season is set to start in just a few short days – what sort of PE heat can we expect from this newly appointed Nike athlete and fresh recruit to Jay’Z's ROC Nation sports management group? We’ve got another shot of her kicks below, so give them a look and let us know what you think.

The first round of the NBA Playoffs continued this past weekend, with the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs punching their tickets to Round 2 by way of a four-game sweep. For the fourth straight Playoff Game, LeBron James whipped out a different PE colorway of the Nike LeBron X Elite – this time in a Red/Black “Alternate” colorway. Some nice Air Jordans hit the court, like Kenyon Martin’s Air Jordan IX “Fontay Montana” and Joe Johnson’s Air Jordan XI Low. The adidas CrazyQuick was also spotted in several colorways, like Taj Gibson’s Red/Black colorway and the Black/White version worn by Iman Shumpert. More of NBA Feet is below, so check out NBA Feet below and stay tuned for more updates on the 2013 Playoffs.

A final recap of the week brings some new headlines, as some of the NBA’s biggest stars bring forth some great PEs over the last two nights. LeBron James followed up his Home PE with a Nike LeBron X Elite “Away” PE, while teammate Dwyane Wade wore the Li-Ning Way of Wade Encore in an “Away” version. Monta Ellis countered with the Air Jordan VII “Hare” in a losing effort. Russell Westbrook brought out the Air Jordan XX8 “White/Black” PE, and KD did his own thing with the “Playoffs Home” colorway of the KD V Elite. Finally, Joe Johnson did his best against the Bulls while wearing the Air Jordan XI Low, while Nate Robinson countered with the Air Jordan XIII “Playoffs”. See all of NBA Feet below, and stay tuned for more as the weekend passes!

This sick colorway of the Nike Kobe 8 Elite is a bit of a sore sight. While the “Lakers” colorway is pretty darn impressive of the Elite model, we know this is the shoe (and according to the source of this photo, the exact shoe) that Kobe Bryant sustained the season-ending and Championship-erasing injury right before the regular season came to a close. To make things even more of a pain, we know that these won’t release because Leo Chang confirmed that only two colorways of the Nike Kobe 8 Elite will release (the Black/Gold in June and this weekend’s “Superhero”). We hope there are some change of plans coming soon because these would be really nice on feet, so check out the extra shot (as well as another look at the Nike Kobe 8 “Blackout” PE) below and let us know if you’d like to see these release.

Over the five games that were scheduled over the last two nights, a nice selection of sneakers were spotted on feet. The Nike KD V Elite was a popular one, with Jarrett Jack wearing the “Superhero” and J.R. Smith rocking the “EYBL” PE colorway. LeBron James wore a PE colorway of the Nike LeBron X Elite, teammate Dwyane Wade wore a White/Black/Red colorway of the Li-Ning Way of Wade, and opponent Monta Ellis went with the Air Jordan V “3M” from the Raging Bull Pack. Nate Robinson switched back to the Air Jordan XIII “Playoffs” for a bounce-back win against the Nets – maybe he’ll stick with those when the series moves back to Chicago. More NBA Feet below, so check it out and stay tuned for another recap on Friday.

From the weird world of unreleased Nike samples, we bring you the “Tile Posite” sample of the Nike Zoom Kobe III. Clearly the upper is made of some sort of composite material that Nike dubbed “Tile Posite”, which is built via a seamless one-piece upper and some eccentric cut-outs around the foot for ventilation and/or aesthetics. The released version of the Nike Zoom Kobe III (if you young’ns can even remember) wasn’t much more subdued in comparison, using a funky “tiled” cutout of squares stretched out to fit over the foot, so perhaps this sample we’re seeing here is before the actual “Tile Posite” was even applied. In any case,we’ve got a gallery for you peer at below, so take a look and let us know if you have any Kobe IIIs in your collection.

Kobe Bryant‘s season-ending injury all but put an end to this year’s chances at another Championship, but the big picture tells a story far bleaker than being eliminated from Playoff contention. The Lakers’ star player Kobe Bryant went down with a torn Achilles, an injury that for most player his age would be a career killer, but for the Black Mamba, it’s just another challenge to overcome – on that Kobe is more than capable of handling. This weekend, Nike honored Kobe Bryant with this “Now, Show Us Again” ad, pointing out all of his great accomplishments and unparalleled professionalism throughout career, alluding to his inevitable triumphant comeback from his injury. The ad got a response from them man himself, so check out Kobe’s personal responses to these ads below and let us know what you think.
