Just two more days until the NBA All-Star Weekend arrives (you know, the All-Star Weekend that almost didn’t happen?), and the NBA sneakerheads look to close out the unofficial first half with some great on-court heat. The Golden State duo in Monta and NateRob rocked the Air Jordan X ‘Old Royal’, which has proven to be the perfect match with their White/Royal/Yellow jerseys. J.R. Smith of the New York Knicks got back to his laced-up ways by wearing the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’ during Monday night’s loss to the Nets. Teammate Jared Jeffries went with the Air Jordan IV ‘White/Cement’, while fellow Jordan Brand Carmelo Anthony, who had been absent for the majority of Linsanity, wore the ‘Home’ Melo M8. Al Harrington of the Nuggets, who sported some LeBron 9 iDs, switched it up by wearing the Nike Zoom Kobe VII iD, as did Paul George of the Indiana Pacers. Another notable baller that made a return was Baron Davis, who reminded us about his Li-Ning BD Dooms. Check out the rest of the NBA Feet from the last few days and stay tuned to Sneaker News as we continue our coverage up til the All-Star break! via Yahoo

Did any NBA ballers partake in what might be the biggest sneaker release day ever? We did spot a bunch of players wearing the Air Jordan X ‘Old Royal’, but that was just the tip of the iceberg because this weekend might’ve been the most heat-filled week of the season. Jordan Crawford, who has quietly built a solid rep as a sneakerhead to look out for, wore the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Metallic Red’, while new pick-up Reggie Williams of the Charlotte Bobcats wore the Nike Zoom KD IV ‘Year Of The Dragon’. Other heat included Paul George’s Jordan Spiz’ike ‘Bordeaux’, while Utah youngsters C.J. Miles and Enes Kanter jazzed it up with the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’. Ray Allen wore the Air Jordan 2011 A-Flight, Chris Paul dazzled in a nice PE of the CP3.V, and Delonte West maintained the tempo with the Air Max Uptempo. Can’t end an NBA Feet without a Jeremy Lin mention, because he took down the Lakers and the T-Wolves with the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011 Low. We’ve got a whole lot more for you below, so peep the best of the weekend after the jump and let us know who laced up the sickest kicks! via Yahoo!

February is upon us, but the sneaker heat in the NBA doesn’t stop. Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics wore the Air Jordan XIII ‘Ray Allen’, Blake Griffin continued his dunking ways, and Al Harrington flashed his Nike LeBron 9 iD for all to see. Chris Paul wore a PE colorway of the Jordan CP3.V, previewed earlier during the Sneaker News trip back home. Paul George of the Indiana Pacers stole the Air Jordan crown with his Air Jordan III ‘True Blue”, and Monta Ellis wore the Concords during his most recent game. There’s a lot more to see so check out the week-end NBA Feet and stick with Sneaker News for more on-feet NBA footage! via Yahoo!

If you were a member of or lurked on Niketalk during the early-mid 2000′s (aka the Renaissance period), Ben Baller is probably a household name; the guy wore his heart on his sleeve and had some well-known celebrity connections, making him one of the most memorable Niketalkers in the history of the forum’s existence. The DJ turned jeweler-to-the-stars formerly known as K-Town Hustler will and has ‘iced’ out anything that can hang from a chain, so this Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’ pendant is, admittedly, a bit tame compared to his accomplished feats of the past (that Golden State pendant and the I-95 are just a couple that come to mind). This pendant features a pair of photorealistic Concords (down to the curves and lines on the outsole) fitting of the current rage of Air Jordans, but with a Los Angeles Dodgers cap that Ben added for a bit of hometown flavor, we’re reminded just who is behind this blinged out piece of neckwear. We’ve got more images for you of this Internally Flawless & Co creation below so take a look and let us know what you think. via Complex

Even if you’re not familiar with Chris Tucker’s work, you’re probably familiar with his voice. Tucker’s played some of the most boisterous, cacophonous, and hilarious characters in movie history, like Smokey from the Friday franchise and Detective Carter in the Rush Hour saga, and his success has led him to becoming one of the highest-paid black actors in the history of film industry. That’ll certainly direct you to courtside seats for Laker games, where he was spotted this past Monday during the Laker/Mavericks game. Tucker was spotted wearing the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’, matching casual Monday-night attire consisting of jeans, a leather jacket and a NBA West All-Star hat. Check out Tucker and his Jordans below and let us know what your favorite Chris Tucker movie is! via ESPN.

We hope you didn’t miss out on C.C.’s Air Jordan XI ‘Cool Grey’ PE Cleats from the other night, but if you did, there’s an even better treat here – the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’ Turf Trainer PE for the Yankees’ pitching behemoth. C.C.’s massive frame should qualify him to play O-Line for an NFL team, and wearing these Concords PEs would certainly be fitting for on-field conditions, wouldn’t they? Jordan Brand kept it as accurate as possible by keeping the turf-ready outsole translucent like the original, but what makes these stand out is the red Jumpman used on the Jumpman Jordan stripe on the tongue. So maybe ‘Concord’ isn’t the right moniker for these PEs, but it’ll stick for now. We’ve got a gallery of images for you below, so take a look and check out the listing from tatfortat on eBay.

The release of the Air Jordan XI Concords sent shockwaves across the nation. Chances are your local news-station reported a story on the release, which is proof enough that kicks are no longer a ‘sub-culture’, but rather the mainstream. What makes the Concords so special is that it was the first pair of Air Jordan XIs (deemed one of the greatest Air Jordans ever) that Michael wore, and it’s been eleven long years since we last had the opportunity to cop a pair. If you’re still holding onto your ’00 Retros or have put the new ones into rotation, you’ve probably sustained some dirt, yellowing or worse, but here we have a nice and simple way to refresh ‘em enough to get them back to their neck-breaking state. A few weeks back, we worked with Foot Locker Unlocked on a great restoration DIY feature with before-and-after comparison shots. The feature is viewable only to those with Foot Locker VIP Access, so in addition to seeing the Concord cleaning tips story in its entirety, VIP membership will also provide you with special product info and promotions and exclusive access to products and events. Head to Foot Locker Unlocked now to become a Foot Locker VIP and to learn how to keep your Concords eternally crispy.

Was there ever any doubt that DMV rapper Wale would eventually show up here rocking the Air Jordan XI Concord? His crazy collection has been documented on this website, as well as in his own referential lyrics, so it was only a matter of time before he popped up rocking the most sought after Air Jordan release from 2011. Never one to OD with a matching fit, Wale rocks an all-grey sweatsuit here and a jumbo Versace scarf obscuring his face a little bit. Stick with us after the jump and let us know your predictions for what sneaker Wale will be spotted in next.

Yesterday, we gave you a look at the latest Complex compilation, a series of sneaker shots from the illustrious career of Sir Charles Barkley. Chuck’s footwear is pretty serious, but anyone is bound to stand in the shadows when compared to MJ himself. Of course a list including in game shots would be limitless, so Complex has put together this selection of Michael Jordan’s greatest off-court sneaker moments, capturing him in a more casual element. There is of course a murderer’s row of OG Air Jordan models in the mix, but what really stands out are the other Swoosh sneakers the young Michael popped up in throughout the years. Catch him at a press conference rocking OG Nike Air Huarahce’s, or meeting up with some fans in the Nike Air Trainer SC II. The gallery is a must see and a true testament to the 90′s glory of Nike design, so check out some samples we’ve picked from the pack after the jump and hit up Complex for the full feature. Also check out our Michael Jordan Through the Years segment for more candid photos of MJ beyond the hardwood.

Move aside, Melo, STAT, Tyson, Jeter, Callahan, Gaborik, etc. – there is no hotter New York team athlete than Victor Cruz, the undrafted free agent turned electrifying superstar Wide Receiver for the New York Giants. After putting up outstanding numbers in the Division-clinching game against the Dallas Cowboys, Victor Cruz treated himself to courtside seats to last night’s Knicks/Raptors contest, drawing applause from the crowd and practicing his signature salsa TD dance with Knicks reporter Jill Martin. Cruz was seen wearing the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’, but don’t mistake him for wearing what’s ‘hot’, because he’s been in the sneaker game for quite some time. Check out Cruz and his Concords after the jump and let us know if you think the Giants have what it takes to repeat their Superbowl XLII glory. via ESPN.
