Most of us would no doubt go back and snap up plenty of old grails in terms of sneakers if we ever made it to the financial level that Jay-Z is currently at. Jigga has other things to worry about at the moment though, like that epic string of Barclays Center concerts and keeping Beyonce and Baby Blue happy. So hopefully you can forgive him for varsity red on his Air Jordan VI’s in this epic shot, taken atop the roof of 560 State St. (you remember that Empire State of Mind lyric right?) with an incredible view of the Brooklyn Nets’ new home. Click through for the full shot and stay tuned to see if Jay rocks more J’s as the Barclays Opening bonanza continues.

The phrase ‘mixed reactions’ often euphemizes hate-filled feedback, but it’s literally reflective of the case of the new Brooklyn Nets logo. Some have criticized what is now the NBA’s second black and white palette, suggesting it’s too simple or decrying the shield in place of the team’s namesake. Others have noted the elegance of this ‘dressy’ color combo, its versatility and even the outside potential for some wild alternate looks. Those folks will be more quickly drawn to this Gourmet 22 L that seems to be a 1 of 1 for Jay-Z himself, a pair whose Goyard-patterned heel tabs showing just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to unique textures that’d look great on a black/white base. Click through to see more, let us know how these compare to some of Jay’s other ‘PEs’ and check back with us for more Brooklyn Nets sneakers as we approach the Barclays Center opening this fall. via HB

Jay-Z showed up at the last Nets game of the season taking his sneaker game to ‘South Beach’ right before the Nets take their talent to BK. Hit the jump for the full photos of Jay-Z in the Nike LeBron 9 Elite ‘South Beach’ and let us know in the comments below if you’re feeling his recent LeBron 9 selection. Photos: ESPN

Sneaker News hasn’t seen the Air Jordan III ‘True Blue’ come up on our Celebrity Feet radar in 2012, but it makes sense that Jay-Z would be the one to show them off given his rapid revisiting of the ‘Blue’ theme (The Blueprint, Blue Ivy etc.) The sighting comes from a recent downtown trip in NY where Jay-Z showed up at Jacob & Co. in New York, perhaps to pick up a 4th anniversary for beautiful wife Beyonce. Hova has quite the smile in one of the photos you’ll see after the jump; is it because he nailed an effortless springtime fit rocking the True Blues with khaki denim and a blue linen buttondown? Let us know if Hova did it right with with these retros and click through for some extra shots. via YBF
