The Round 2 Games of the First Round of the NBA Playoffs began on Monday night, with the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers taking commanding 2-0 series leads in their respective series’. Dwyane Wade debuted the Air Jordan Fly Wade in a White/Red/Yellow colorway while teammate LeBron James donned the LeBron 8 P.S. for the second straight game. Jrue Holiday wore the sparkling blue colorway of the adidas adiZero Crazy Light and Jodie Meeks wore a unique Red/Black Kobe VI iD. On the Chicago/Indiana front, Bulls superstar Derrick Rose wore the adidas adiZero Crazy Light Rose.
Last night’s games were a bit more dramatic, with the Knicks and Celtics going down to the wire again. Carmelo poured in 42 in a losing effort while wearing the Jordan Melo M7 Advance, and Stoudemire, who left the game with injury, wore the Zoom Huarache TR Mid PE. Rajon Rondo did his best to hide Kobe insignia by wearing a white/green Kobe VI iD, which featured a tonal-white upper. Other notables included the various Jordan Play In These F TXT PEs, Gilbert Arenas’ Air Trainer SC, and Brandon Roy’s Zoom Hyperfuse PE.

After wearing both the Air Jordan XIII ‘Flint’ and Air Jordan IV ’25th Anniversary’ on Tuesday night, Gilbert Arenas followed up his double-Jordan outing with the Air Jordan VII ‘Chambray’ against the Charlotte Bobcats. The Chambray VII released in 2006 alongside the OG Cardinal version as well as four other all-new colorways. The Chambray VII combines Black with Light Graphite and Chambray, which can be best described as a light, baby blue tone. Not a perfect match for Orlando’s Royal Blue uniform, but that never deterred Gil from wearing whatever he wants! Check out Gilbert and his Air Jordan VII after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Gilbert Arenas updates throughout the remainder of the season. via ESPN.

We know how you feel, Gilbert. There are certain days when you can decide what shoe to wear, leading us to wear one pair for the first half of the day and rocking another for the latter half. During last night’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Gilbert Arenas wore both the Air Jordan IV 25th Anniversary and the Air Jordan XIII ‘Flint’ during separate parts of the game. Arenas, who has missed some time to to injury/illness, returned to help the Magic in victory by providing six points off the bench. The rest of the NBA has picked it up in terms of sneaker heat (K-Mart and Lawson in Electric Green Foamposites, Gerald Wallace in Air Jordan IXs), but let’s be reminded once again that Gilbert is this season’s sneaker champ! Check out Arenas and his kicks below and let us know what you think. via ESPN.

Luck was definitely on our side the past couple of nights because we got a look at some great sneakers around the league. Starting off with last night’s games, the New York Knicks had more than luck (try a team record 20 3-pointers) as they took down the Grizzlies in fashion. Carmelo Anthony wore the Jordan Melo M7 St. Patrick’s Day PE while teammate Ronny Turiaf wore the Zoom Kobe VI ‘Rice’ and Amare Stoudemire wore a green/orange PE of the Zoom Huarache TR Mid. Other notables included Derrick Rose’s adidas adiRose 1.5 in green/white, plenty of Nike iDs in the form of Zoom Huarache 2k4s and Zoom Uptempo V. However, amidst all the St. Patty’s Day PEs and personalized iD colorways, Jordan Retros always garner the most attention, like Courtney Lee’s Air Jordan III White/Cement, Gilbert Arenas’ Air Jordan V Black/University Blue, Ray Allen’s Premio IX, and Juwan Howard’s Fire Red AJV.

Last night’s NBA action was filled to the brim with new faces in new places, game-winning jumpers and raging come-backs. Starting off in New England, Rajon Rondo wore the White/Green colorway of the Nike Air Max 360 BB Low and new teammate Carlos Arroyo borrowed a pair from Rondo’s stash by wearing a tonal-green Zoom Hyperfuse Low. Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe wore Air Max Fly By PEs against their Celtic opponents. A match-up between two surging teams – the Knicks and Grizzlies – featured Amare Stoudemire and his Huarache TR Mid PEs once again, but was highlighted by Carmelo’s Melo M7 (no Knicks colorway yet?). Michael Beasley, an adidas athlete, brought out some older gems by wearing the adidas KG Bounce. Gilbert Arenas gave a shout-out of sorts to his former partner in crime by wearing John Wall’s Reebok Zig Slash. Did Reebok just find its newest NBA athlete, or is this another one of Arenas’ curious sneaker picks?

Gilbert Arenas’ sneaker watch of the 2010-11 NBA season has left us with a stir of emotions. There was ‘awe’, when he whipped out the Air Jordan IX ‘Premio’, and ‘respect’ when he matched his new Orlando uniform with the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Royal’. The latest one can be best described as ‘bewilderment’, because last night, Gilbert Arenas wore a never-before-seen Air Jordan XIII Retro in a White/Black colorway. Has Jordan Brand embraced Gilbert as a walking sneaker advertisement and graced him with a PE colorway? Arenas has been one of the more interesting figures in the sneaker world for the last few months, and let’s just say things just got a bit more interesting. Check out Gilbert Arenas and his Jordans after the jump and let us know what you think of this mysterious new colorway. via ESPN.
