We’re right in the thick of SXSW, meaning that droves of people are down in Austin, TX doing all sorts of taste making and concert going. Of the infinite acts hitting stage down there was Talib Kweli, who recently had a show at the Samsung Galaxy Sound Stage. On feet for the BK MC was the Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’, that OG colorway that made many a happy Air Jordan fan when it came back out in 2011. Get the on-stage photos of Talib Kweli wearing the Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’ at SXSW and stay tuned in case we spot any other rappers rocking impressive footwear down in Texas.

It’s only getting more and more difficult to pick up original Air Jordan pairs. As the number of Air Jordan collectors grows every year, the set number of vintage sneakers from the line continue to get snatched up, passed around, and un-deadstocked. Which is why this group is such a crazy opporunity if you’ve got the cash to make it happen. Shown is a group of OG Air Jordans in various conditions, including the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan VI, Air Jordan VII, Air Jordan VIII, Air Jordan IX, Air Jordan X, Air Jordan XI, Air Jordan XII, and the Air Jordan XIII. Take a look at all the pairs rounded up in the group after the jump, then take a look at the auction to purchase them from quentinours on eBay.

One of these things is not like the other. The latest iteration of the epic Rock the Bells hip-hop festival made its way to Mountain View, CA, over the weekend. As is to be expected when so many hip-hop heavyweights converge at one place in one time there was no shortage of on-feet sightings of all sorts. DMX showed up with an outfit channeling his days of yore, Timberlands and all. Fellow former Ruff Ryder Sheek Louch was also present, albeit with a more contemporary selection in the form of the recently released Air Jordan VII ‘Olympic’. Comparative youngin’s Mac Miller and Kid Cudi rounded out the group in the Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’ and the Air Jordan VIII ‘Aqua’. Stay with us after the jump for this photo recap and stick with Sneaker News should more shots pop up featuring sneaker sightings from Rock the Bells.

We’re sure that a few smug folks turned their nose up at last year’s Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’ retro, those keen enough to still have a pair on ice after 19 years of waiting. And while we’ve got to tip our hats to those folks there is an even higher bar to reach as far as Air Jordan VII preservation goes. This awesome set blows the competitors out of the water by coming packaged with the forgotten matching sock set, a pair featuring the arrowhead 23 logo on the sides. Click through to check out this deadstock pair of Air Jordan VII’s straight out of 1992 and bid on complete set now from cnoriega_2007 on eBay.

Hats off to you if you were around during the days when Michael Jordan used to debut the next in line for the Air Jordan series at the NBA All-Star Game each year. 20 years ago that sneaker was the Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’, with its on-screen debut solidifying yet another Tinker Hatfield hit from the Air Jordan lineup. One young man was fortunate enough to take home that very pair that MJ wore on February 9th, 1992, an autographed gift from Michael as part of a Make a Wish Foundation arranged meet and greet after the game. Click through with us to check out this insane piece of Air Jordan history straight out of Michael Jordan’s All-Star Game performance and peep the chance to bid on the game-worn Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’ original at Grey Flannel.

It was a long, nineteen-year wait for the Euro-tinted Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’ to come back to stores, but its long absence certainly didn’t go by unnoticed as the Bordeaux was deemed one of the thirty best sneakers of the year. It was praised for being a near-copy of the original, but did you know it could’ve turned out just a tad different? Here’s a look at an unreleased Sample of the Bordeaux VII (take a moment to see if you can spot the differences); the tongue and the heel logo features a brighter mint green opposed to the darker forest green that was used on the original design, and although it’s just a minor discrepancy, that would not have gone unnoticed either! Check out the extra shots below and let us know if you’ve got the ’11 Retro in your sneaker rotation, and stay tuned to Sneaker News because there’s a lot more AJ7 heat coming soon. via theampmlife

NCAA March Madness just kicked off (and we’ll keep you updated with a great ‘Feet’ feature), but the NBA had some entertaining games and even better sneakers on court! Starting off with Air Jordans – Dwyane Wade brought the ‘Last Shot’ back to Chicago, Gerald Green raised his stock with the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’, and Shannon Brown scorched the opponents with the Air Jordan VII ‘Bordeaux’. The ‘new-look’ Knicks slaughtered the Blazers with Carmelo wearing the ‘Syracuse’ colorway of the Jordan Melo M8, LeBron James showed off his Red/Black PE again, and Ty Lawson rocked the ‘Cool Grey’ LeBron 9. That’s just a small sampling of what’s below, so take a look and let us know who rocked the best kicks! via Yahoo
