Dave White has made an internationally recognized name with his sneaker art for his signature side-profile, paint-splattered imagery. Do we have another Dave White on our hands? Sneaker News just stumbled upon Kick Draw, a tumblr account featuring new drawings of some of the most historic sneakers of all time. The left-shoe profile shots are done in photo-realistic cartoon-ish styles, with solid-colored backgrounds providing a nice contrast. It appears that the author/illustrator updates with ‘trending’ sneakers, as he’s recently updated with the Jordan CP3.V (releasing next week), the Nike Zoom KD IV (released early December), and the adidas adiPower Howard (released November). Of course, he’s got a ton of other great stuff – Air Jordans, Air Yeezys, Reeboks, etc. – so take a look at some of the highlights below and check out Kick Draw now!

To go the entire month of November without NBA games was tough for a lot of NBA fans, leaving some to cope in unique ways to help numb the pain of a basketball-less month. How did Rudy Gay kill his extra off-season time? By dunking on 25-foot rims and playing around with the massive toys at Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory. But there were some serious moments, like when Rudy and FF’s Drama got together to sketch out plans to end the lockout, a meeting that almost didn’t occur because Drama woke up too late! It’s all good though, because Drama ‘laced’ up his Nike Mag 2011 and skated over to the Fantasy Factory just in time to catch Rudy Gay in the office. Did they hatch a plan that ended the lockout? Check out the video below and let us know what you think.

The Nike Mag 2011 is undoubtedly the best sneaker release of the year and perhaps the last decade. Leading up to 2011′s magnanimous return of the self-lacing (sorta) sneakers was the Nike Zoom Hyperdunk ‘McFly’ that released in 2008. Inspired by the grey/like blue/pink tones seen on the original Mag, the Hyperdunk ‘McFly’ was an instant hit and to this day, remains as one of the most coveted sneakers of this generation. The sequel to the Hyperdunk was the Hyperdunk 2010, and a ‘McFly’ version was also devised utilizing a similar colorway from the Hyperdunk ‘McFly’. These, however, never did release, but a few samples did manage to make their way into the hands of some lucky recipients and collectors. If the Nike Mag 2011 is too rich for your blood, consider these unreleased Hyperdunk 2010 ‘McFly’ Promo Samples as a worthy replacement. We’ve got a detailed viewing after the jump, so take a look and hit up the auction from beautifulwinner on eBay.

Admit it: One of your guilty pleasures is to sift through pages and pages of blogs that compile some of the funniest pieces of text or imagery on the internet. One of the more popular time-wasters on the ‘net is ’Awkward Family Photos’, which features endless pages of some of the weirdest blood-related groups of people in the world. Family portraits in general are a bit awkward, but if you’ve got a respectable head of the household in the Nike Mag 2011 and two dope offspring in the Hypermax and Hyperdunk, there’s no way a portrait can look awkward, unless you decide to hold the Mags yourself while wearing a t-shirt showing Billy Crystal, as Mickey Gordon of the movie ‘Forget Paris’, shouting (what appears to be) profanities. Ah, so close. Still a cool picture nonetheless, so check out the Nike McFly Family Portraits and let us know what you think. via gallery2.

The Mags are here! The Mags are here! Theophilus London is the most recent notch of the Nike Mag 2011 belt of Celebrity Feet sightings, as the Brooklyn native recently rocked his lit-up pair during his show in New York City. Theophilus London has gained a reputation for owning one of the most unique fashion styles in the hip-hop industry, but his sneakerheadism has been well documented as well (he was chosen to represent Brooklyn for last year’s Nike Sportswear 1LOVE Borough Pack). We’ve got some extra shots of Theophilus London’s Nike Mags below so take a look and let us know what you think.

Soulja Boy is one of the names that can be used to describe the current generation of hip-hop. He rose to fame during an era of music where catchy lines and claims of ‘balling’ are what constitutes the big hits, and his internet tune became a major success and reached the apex of the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Four years later, Soulja Boy has more than an internet hit to jot down on his resume – in fact, his list of accomplishments and endeavors might be more impressive than artists groomed and bred by record labels. It’s a fact that Soulja Boy is a self-made millionaire, shrewdly putting the use contemporary modes of communication (uh, the internet), and he’s using that sweet money to buy himself some sick kicks, like the Nike Mag 2011 that he just recently ‘laced’ up on his feet. Check out more of Soulja Boy and the Nike Mag 2011 and let us know what you think of his kicks!

Missed out on the Nike Mags, or can’t get yourself to wear ‘em around? You can fashion your own pair of customs like FlawlessV of NT did, by using a pair of Radii high-tops to create a ‘wearable’ pair of Nike Mags to beat around. These won’t light up, they won’t self-lace, and you definitely won’t fool anyone with these replicas, but as long as you have some fabric paint, a pair of scissors, and a few spare hours, you’ve got yourself a pair of custom Mags! We can understand that it’s tough to wear around a pair of sneakers that cost a few thousand dollars, so let us know if you’d consider rocking these Nike Mag 2011 customs.

Kid Cudi lied about copping four pairs of the Nike Mag 2011. He actually bought five. During last night’s episode of Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Kid Cudi revealed that he dropped roughly a year’s worth of college tuition on the Nike Mag 2011 eBay auctions – four for himself and a fifth pair for his girlfriend Jamie Baratta. To end up with five pairs is quite the impressive feat, especially considering Kid Cudi isn’t a weathered veteran of the ebay game; he created an eBay account right before the Nike Mag 2011 auctions. Check out some stills as well as Kid Cudi’s interview after the jump and let us know what you think!

The Nike Mag 2011s were certainly a huge celebrity draw, and the sneakerheads in that category definitely put up the dollars to guarantee themselves their Nike Mags. Kid Cudi claimed to have won four (yes, four) pairs of the Nike Mag 2011, and he recently broke out pair numero uno at a party thrown by Complex and Bacardi, during which he was the guest of honor (he graced the cover of Complex’s The Music Issue). Cudi was spotted with Mags on stage, lounging around, enjoying his drinks, and partying it up with his How To Make It In America co-stars, so check out the Mags in on-feet action below and stick with Sneaker News for more Nike Mag 2011 sightings!
