Being one of the top NBA talents, Eddie Jones who once played for Memphis Grizzlies deserves another round of applause and another pair of Jordans. As a pro, he played good in different teams while he received basketball shoes from Air Jordan. Today’s pick is an Air Jordan V which was inspired by the Grizzlies Away uniform.

The Air Jordan V Eddie Jones PE – Grizzlies Away has Black nubuck as the dominating color on the upper. As its original structure, this Jordan owns a perforated plastic panel, padded tongue displaying a Blue embroidered Jumpman logo, Jones’ jersey number, “6″ on the heel area, and a Black-speckled shark teeth-like design on the midsole. Underneath is a translucent outsole depicting the Jumpman silhouette on the forefoot.

This simple Air Jordan V colorway pays tribute to Eddie Jones’ stay with the Grizzlies. And for Jones, this is a pair that reminds him of his Memphis moments for two years.

Player Exclusives aren’t really a big deal throughout the sneaker community. We see them so much now, that no one real trips over them anymore. Well here we see a pair of Player Exclusives that is sure to send some sneakerheads on a hunt. These Air Jordan XIIIs were given to the Kansas Jayhawks mens basketball team during the 2004-2005 season. I know these were given a while ago, but i just had to show these off. Other than the rareness of the sneaker, it features a sick colorway! The uppers are covered with clean white leather, while red is seen on areas such as the midsole and heel. Blue is used on the outsole and the Jumpman on the tongue. “JAYHAWKS” is written across the tongue in red and blue. This sneaker is so good, that it makes me look down on the other 13s. These have been put up on eBay, but for a hefty price tag. Click here for the auction. Via Undergroundsoles

The New Balance CM1700 goes a little rugged from the treatment it received from collaborators, Mita and Victim. Besides its craggy image, it also reveals a touch of classic especially that the light Cream and light Grey combination remains calm and less active. Yet, the Navy Blue accent puts some life on the shoe and since Japanese brand, Victim helped in this teamwork, it has been recognized from the insole. Curious? Check this one out at Corner’s Ark.

Reebok seldom configures its design but only applies new colors on certain models that often create interesting combos. Like any other shoe brands, uniqueness is the key to a successful sneaker promotion that is why Reebok referenced to the well-known story of all time that originated in the land of gods and goddesses or should we call it the Greek Mythology.

In three Reebok Freestyle designs, varying characters from the myth generates the so-called X-factor on each shoe. The first pair was dubbed as “Athena”, the Greek god, Zeus’ daughter who stood to be the goddess of wisdom, weaving, and arts and who in particular loves to carry her owl. And Athena’s owl was the center of inspiration that the shoe adopted, thus showing up a feather-printed upper on Beige base with Brown overlay and Gold woven-designed ankle and straps.

Goddess Medusa comes next to motivate the second Reebok Freestyle pair by allowing a snake-printed upper and snakeskin concept on the ankle with accent of metallic tone. For the third inspiration, concept was taken from Callisto, or constellation that draws the Black upper with the constellation images.

This is your chance to recall your Greek Mythology as well as to put them on in the form of these creative designs.

Originally, the Nike Vandal High do not use leather but thick canvas or nylon. From its first production in 1984, this basketball shoe has dropped in different colorways with some special editions. To add another spanking new look, Nike has unleashed the pair where in Black, Grey, Red, and Safari were associated.

With this next Vandal High color-up, the ever so popular Safari print takes the biggest role as it takes the most prominent place in this model. Nike chose the heel area to be the most ideal spot for this animal-inspired print. As we can see now, from the collar to the quarter panel down to the heel is a Safari-dominated area. This makes the real attraction.

Going through the next attribute, a Black Swoosh with Red border appears just across the printed part. The Red eyelets even made a hotter scene as Red Nike branding appears on both heel and tongue. Set as overlay is the Grey strip laid on the most obvious contours that separate each panel.

A White midsole with visible stitching gives this Vandal High a neutral look. Dr. Jays and other Nike retailers are now offering this release.

With all of the new Hyperdunks that have been releasing over the past few weeks it can be certainly very hard to keep them all straight.Part of this may be due to March Madness and the NCAA tournament and part of it may be because Nike knows that their fans like variety and options.Fans of the Gonzaga University team should be very pleased with this new shoe and the new Player Edition colorway.

This new Gonzaga PE features a navy blue upper that is accented very nicely by a navy to white gradient midpanel as well as a red swoosh, a red outsole and a red inner lining.The Gonzaga bulldog can be spotted here on the tongue of the sneaker, while the inside of the tongue will reveal the founding year of Gonzaga University, which was in 1887.The bad news is that these won’t be available at retailers.
