Even though two of them switched teams and one of them switched conferences, Jordan Brand still managed to get three of the ten 2012 NBA All-Star Game starting spots for their signature athletes. Chris Paul’s West red Jordan CP3.V ‘All-Star’ will be considerably more similar to his everyday attire than in 2011, while Carmelo Anthony sees the Eastern Conference’s traditional blue on his Melo M8 for the first time in the series history. Dwyane Wade’s Fly Wade 2 rounds out the East squad heavy on 2003 draft pics, and speaking of timing your selections just right, these three are about to go on sale tomorrow at House of Hoops nationwide along with the Foot Locker in New York’s Times Square (the CP3. V will release on Friday). We’ve got a detailed set of images of Jordan Brand’s All-Star Game presence below so check ‘em out and let us know which JB All-Star will have the best overall performance!

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!

Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul – they’ll be busy on the 26th of February, because they’re representing their respective Conferences in the 2012 NBA All-Star Game. Jordan Brand’s Big Three has a copious amount of All-Star appearance under its collective belt, and for this upcoming occasion, they’ll be rocking some new PE colorways of their signature shoes. Starting with the Eastern stars, Dwyane Wade will wear a sick White/Royal/Navy colorway of the Jordan Fly Wade 2 and Carmelo Anthony will rock a similar colorway of the Jordan Melo M8 with a jaw-dropping navy-blue elephant print, while the West’s best point guard will rock the Red/White colorway seen in our Jordan CP3.V Media Launch coverage from last month. Which of the three do you like best? You can see these in-game on February 26th, or cop your own on February 23rd when all three will hit select Jordan Brand retailers, so take a look below and let us know what you think.

Last night, we showed you what LeBron James wore on his feet before the Heat and Sixers game tipped off. Turns out he had another new pair of LeBron 9s for the game as well, because he, along with Dwyane Wade, wore new ‘Alternate’ PE colorways of their respective signature shoes, matching their Alternate Red uniforms. We’ve mentioned before that the radical design of the LeBron 9 makes it conducive to some creative color-blocking, and this new PE displays just that as it mixes Black and Red on the upper for a sick two-toned effect. Dwyane Wade’s Fly Wade 2 was also an crowd-pleaser, utilizing a white heel and outsole to go with the black upper and completed with a red trim detail. Check out LeBron and Wade and their new kicks below and let us know which PE you liked better! via ESPN.

Dwyane Wade earned his eighth NBA All-Star nod yesterday when the Miami Heat shooting guard was selected by fan vote to start in the 2012 ASG in Orlando. Based on what we’ve seen from teammate LeBron James and his fellow Nike Basketball signature superstar Kobe Bryant, it’d be natural to expect Jordan Brand to break from the traditional All-Star color palette in favor of something more novel. But before we arrive at the midseason break in three weeks, D-Wade and the Heat still have twelve games over the next twenty days. And if it turns out Agent D3 breaks out this new Jordan Fly Wade 2 PE, it’d likely be against the Hawks, Magic or Knicks (though it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give fans something good to watch when the Heat travel to Toronto, Cleveland and Sacramento, either). Click through for more, let us know if these are the best Fly Wade 2s yet and stick with Sneaker News to see when they pop up in our ongoing NBA Feet feature.

The Miami Heat super-star duo followed up their Friday night PEs with some new colorways for Sunday’s matchup against the Bulls as LeBron rocked a white-swooshed ‘Blackout’ colorway while Dwyane Wade wore a Black/White PE colorway of the Jordan Fly Wade 2. Mario Chalmers continued his Air Jordan rotation by wearing the Concords and the Air Jordan XVII CDP. Mike Bibby and Richard Hamilton were both spotted with the Air Jordan III ‘Black Flip’. John Wall rocked his ‘Home’ kicks of the Zig Encore 2, Andre Iggy posed in mid-air with the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011, Steph Curry matched his uni with the Zoom Brave V, and Iman Shumpert of the Knicks rocked the White/Black adidas Crazy 8.

There’s no place like home, right? LeBron James and Dwyane Wade led the Miami Heat to a win over the Melo-less New York Knicks last night while debuting new ‘Home’-inspired colorways of their signature kicks. Bron’s Nike LeBron 9 featured a white upper with a red weave panel and matching midsole, reminiscent of the Nike Air Zoom Generation ‘First Game’ colorway, while the Jordan Fly Wade 2 on Wade’s feet was comprised of a ‘reverse’ colorblocking of the Christmas colorway (no green laces, though). Check out both of their new colorways after the jump and let us know which shoe you like better! via Yahoo!.

The term ‘Fly Wade’ has never been truer. While Dwyane Wade is currently out of NBA action with an injured ankle, he recently dropped a sextuple-quadruple – that is, six figures on a four-wheeled car. Best part is, the car was a gift from an owner of a luxury car dealership. What a way to enter your 30′s, Dwyane, but we all want to see you healthy and back on court rocking your Fly Wade 2s. Tomorrow is the official release of the new White/Varsity Red-Black colorway of Wade’s sequel with Jordan Brand, so head to your local retailer tomorrow or cop them right now from empire_sneakers07 on eBay.

Dwyane Wade is one of three signature athletes with Jordan Brand, but the lone Championship Ring holder. That itself sets him above his two brand-mates (and even LeBron and Durant, but just below Kobe’s 5 rings), which is why the Jordan Fly Wade 2 is considered to be top-tier Jordan Brand basketball shoe at the moment. Utilizing a plethora of performance-driven detailing like the LunarLon outsole, the extended shank plate, and Hyperfuse technology, the Jordan Fly Wade 2 lives up to the ‘top-tier’ billing, but in a curious move, Dwyane Wade has been wearing the Jordan Fly Wade 1 in recent games! It’s time to switch back, because the Heat just lost two straight. The upcoming ‘Home’ colorway of White/Varsity Red-Black now has an official release date of January the 18th at retailers like CNCPTS, so check out the detailed shots below and stay with Sneaker News for more release date info and updates.
