Although a knee injury has placed ‘Linsanity’ in a straight jacket, the Jeremy Lin collective is still celebrating the young guard’s meteoric rise to stardom. During Lin’s two-month stretch, any piece of sports apparel donning his name sold like hotcakes all around the world, and with the sudden release of the Nike Zoom Hyperdunk 2011 Low ‘Linsanity’ earlier this month, sneakerheads were in for one final surprise of the season (unless the Knicks advance to the second round of the Playoffs, where Lin could make a return). Dropping this Saturday, April 14th, are the Linsanity Hyperdunks, so if you’ve been dying to complete your set of Jeremy Lin memorabilia, head to 21 Mercer this weekend or go ‘Linsane’ right now on eBay.

Madison Square Garden and the NBA store reports Jeremy Lin jerseys to be the top selling jerseys and fan apparel of the month. With Linsanity taking over the world, there’s no question that Lin’s status as a Taiwanese-American draws appeal from American fans as well as those in the Far East. Just yesterday, Sneaker News reported the news of Nike’s extension of Jeremy Lin’s contract with the Swoosh, and they certainly wasted no time in spreading the Linsanity as we have a look at two new t-shirts featuring the catchy bold-faced syntax on the chest. Both colorways of the t-shirt feature that camo-like print seen on Nike Basketball PE releases, so could this signify a PE for Jeremy Lin? Let us know what you think of Jeremy Lin’s future prospect as a Nike Basketball athlete (is he worthy of a sig?) and cop either new colorway right now at Nikestore, and let’s see how Linsanity erupts tonight when the New York Knicks visit the Miami Heat tonight at 7 PM EST.
