Kicks On Court - January 7th, 2009
 We really have not had to chance to see many Josh Howard PEs due to a severe ankle injury earlier this season. However, since he has returned our Kicks On Court has spotted him sporting the Jordan True Flight, the Jordan Jumpman Team Pro PEs, and now a Dallas Mavericks colorway-inspired Air Jordan 8 PE.
If you recall, J-Ho hooped in this Air Jordan 8 during the majority of the preseason, yet, this is the first time he laced them up for the regular season. According to you, this PE was one of the Top 10 Sneakers Worn In The Preseason. Wouldn’t it be nice to see more classic Jordan sneakers in this White/Navy Blue-Grey colorway?

Kicks On Court: Is Dwyane Disgruntled With Converse? - January 6th, 2009
 The answer to that question is probably yes…just look at his feet! Two weeks before the basketball season began, we showed you photos of Dwyane Wade’s fourth signature sneaker, the Converse Wade 4. Usually, when a signature shoe is released, the player is often seen on the court wearing it; however, why have we yet to see ‘Flash’ rocking the Wade 4?
Throughout our Kicks On Court, we have spotted Wade hooping in the Converse Wade 1 night in and night out. I wonder how Converse feels by designing a signature sneaker for one of its athletes only to never see him hooping in it! If you recall, during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, some of the signature sneaker athletes (LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony) debuted their latest sneaker while ‘Flash’ hooped in a Converse team signature sneaker. When D Wade’s Converse contract is up, could these signs be pointing towards a Nike or JB signing? Considering the Miami Heat’s jerseys, wouldn’t it be nice to see Wade sporting some OG colorway Jordan sneakers?

Kicks On Court - January 5th, 2008
 Without a doubt, we have seen our we have seen our fair share of King James’ latest sneaker. Whether it be the LeBron’s Family Pack, the Hardwood Classic, the “Miami”, or the Big Apple, the Nike Zoom LeBron 6 has set itself apart from LBJ’s previous sneakers. Yesterday, our Kicks On Court spotted James hooping in arguably one of the better colorways of his sixth signature sneaker.
Against the Washington Wizards, LeBron James laced up the Nike Zoom LeBron 6 “Triple Black” for the first time this season. If you recall, this particular colorway recently hit retailers last month. Unlike most of the other LeBron 6 colorways, this version features a combination of mesh and premium leather along the upper. It also contains a visible carbon fiber and clear outsole. Although this was the first time James wore the “Triple Black”, oddly it was not the first time this sneaker was seen on the court. New York Knicks guard Nate Robinson hooped in LeBron’s “Triple Black” a couple of weeks ago. Is this the best LeBron 6 colorway yet?

Kicks On Court: Popping ‘Black Cats’ for New Year’s - January 2nd, 2009
 Just like every NBA season, no games are played on New Year’s Day. However, on December 31st, 2008, our Kicks On Court spotted a player starting 2009 off with a few fireworks…literally.
Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors forward Marco Belinelli hooped in a pair of Air Jordan 3 “Black Cats”. If you recall, this sneaker was the second pair of Jordan’s to receive the “Black Cat” treatment (the Air Jordan 4 was the first in 2006) Although Marco Belinelli is not a Jordan Brand member, he is the first to be spotted in a pair of Air Jordan 3’s this season. On another note, our Kicks On Court spotted Los Angeles Clippers guard Fred Jones hooping in a never-before-seen colorway of the Air Jordan 2.5. During the preseason, we could not get through a Kicks On Court without seeing at least one JB member sporting the Air Jordan 2.5! What do you think about this particular colorway?

Kicks On Court: You Mad? - December 31st, 2008
 Some sneaker heads were more lucky than others on the day the Air Jordan 11/12 Countdown Pack surfaced (December 20th, 2008). Even with two restocks, many people still did not get their Jordan fix. Not in attempt to make you mad, our Kicks On Court has spotted one of the Jordan Brand members sporting your favorite Jordan from the CDP. For the people that did not get it, don’t be mad!
Against the Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Clippers guard Fred Jones hooped in the Air Jordan 11 Black/Red-White from the infamous CDP. Although style-wise this is arguably one of the best sneakers, is it a basketball-friendly sneaker? How does it look with the Clippers jerseys? On another note, LeBron James went head-to-head with one of his good friends last night, Dwyane Wade. Both of them were part of the “Redeem Team” this past summer, and King James reminded us of that by wearing his Nike Zoom LeBron 6 “United We Rise”. If you recall, James played in this exact sneaker during the 2009 Olympics championship game against Spain. Click the jump to view more kicks worn by Joe Johnson, Chris Paul, Kevin Martin, D.J.

Kicks On Court: Which ROY Candidate Has the Best PEs? - December 30th, 2008
|
Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose and Memphis Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo are currently leading the NBA rookies in most of the more important statistical categories. With that said, the Rookie of the Year Award chase will probably come down to the last couple of games; however, we have another debate for you, the readers, to choose right now. Although neither player possesses his own signature sneaker yet, which rookie has the best PE? According to you, O.J. Mayo hoops in one of the nicest Nike Hyperdunk PE seen this year. Featuring the Memphis Grizzlies colorway, it contains a predominately black upper with sky blue and yellow accents on the shoelaces, side panels, tongue and heel. On the other hand, Derrick Rose has played in two different colorways of his Adidas TS Creator. This particular colorway is arguably the best one. It features a predominately black upper with red and white accents to match those alternate black Chicago Bulls jerseys we have all come to love. Rose vs Mayo. Nike vs Adidas. Which one is it?

Kicks On Court - December 29th, 2008
|
In our Kicks On Court today, we spotlight two NBA All-Stars, Josh Howard and Kobe Bryant, hooping in some exclusive sneakers this past weekend. Kobe Bryant finally played in the ‘Home’ colorway of the Nike Zoom Kobe 4, while Josh Howard became the first Jordan member to wear the Jordan True Flight model this season. The Jordan True Flight has been the subject of a lot of controversy ever since photos have surfaced. It has been a love/hate sneaker seeing that many people feel it looks too much like the Air Jordan 7. However, others are impatiently anticipating the 2009 release date. Expect to see more JB members wearing the Jordan True Flight in the near future. As far as the Kobe 4, we have already seen many colorways including the “Venom”, “Chaos”, and the Christmas Edition. The home colorway seems to be the most subtle yet. Which colorway interest you the most?
