The sneaker collaboration was intended to be a special treat for a small audience – a ‘thank you’ of sorts to the small but strong following. They are typically limited in availability and usually gone from store shelves within days, but Undefeated, one of the originators of the sneaker boutique collab, is about to change those definitions and bring their latest partnership with Converse to one of the widest sneaker markets in the world today. Converse and Undefeated presents a collection of footwear, apparel, and accessories exclusive to Foot Locker, bringing the idea and concept of the OG sneaker boutique to the nationwide audience of the chain retailer; part of the set includes a Pro Leather, Star Player, and graphic t-shirts and caps – all available only at Foot Locker. You can find the Undefeated x Converse Collection now at Foot Locker locations worldwide.

John Lucas III isn’t exactly a snowman (he did drop 60 at the Rucker this summer, after all), but he most definitely got frozen as LeBron James submitted a potental career-best dunk on Sunday night. And with LeBron himself subsequently patting Blake Griffin on the back for what might be the best slam of this young decade, we’re moving into February with more dunking momentum than any year since Vinsanity competed in the Slam Dunk Contest. With that in mind, it’s a perfect time for Foot Locker’s ‘Hottest Month Ever’, a campaign that kicks off with the ‘Abominable Dunkman’ commercial showing how the Nike LeBron 9 and a snow covered court can result in your own reenactment of the VC-over-Fred Weis poster. Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul and probably didn’t deserve this kind of abuse, but it makes for an interesting video, and you can see the ad in full after the jump.

“I’m back on the hardwood, so my job here at Foot Locker is going to be terminated.”
New York Knicks power forward Amar’e Stoudemire followed in the footsteps of arguably the greatest player ever at his position, when this summer during the NBA lockout, STAT took up work at a NY-area Foot Locker store. Donning the black and white stripes is probably a bit easier than exploiting your height by changing lightbulbs and rescuing cats from trees, but just as the 1998 labor dispute had Tim Duncan eschewing odd jobs for his first NBA championship, Amar’e has put in his notice with FL so he can get back to business at MSG. Click through to see the exit interview and let us know if Amar’e deserves your 2012 NBA All-Star Game vote.

“Of course I support her. She’s my family.”
Foot Locker has been putting out comical ads that would appeal to even the most casual sneakerhead for a while now, and the latest is easily among the most clever yet. Maybe ‘cunning’ is the word, because the plot of this video sees a teenage kid welcome his older sister back into mom and dad’s house, only, there are a couple of strings attached. Namely, the laces from the Nike Free Run+ 2 (size 10.5, please) means the unnamed high school hero is looking to extort some extra gifts in exchange for longer waits for the bathroom. It’s family negotiation at its best-worst, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do to secure fresh kicks during the holidays. Click through to see the video in full and let us know how they compare to some of the other funny sneaker commercials we’ve seen over the years.
