A grey color scheme on one of my top 5 basketball shoes ever is a winning combination for me. I have yet to get an Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 from this recent re-release from Nike, but this may be a good start for me.

Gilbert Arenas is simply on a roll right now. The Memphis Grizzlies guard has been dominating our Kicks On Court column as of late by lacing up multiple Air Jordan 4 colorways. Earlier today, we highlighted him wearing the “Lightning” 4s and the “Military Blue” 4s in our Kicks On Court Weekly Recap, but late last night we learned of him sporting the “Doernbecher” Air Jordan 4s in Game 6 of the Clippers vs. Grizzlies series. If you recall, Nate Robinson actually wore these on court in a summer game, but Arenas is now the first to wear them in an NBA game. This shoe was created by Isaiah Scott, an 11-year-old patient at the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital who is referred to as “Superman” by his loved ones. Which Air Jordan 4 is Arenas’ best Kicks On Court moment of the week? View these shoes plus more, worn by Chris Paul, Tony Allen, Blake Griffin and others, below.

We are now approaching the second round of the NBA Playoffs, and after another intense week of first round match-ups, our Kicks On Court column has again proven that the best is always saved for last. Last year’s Kicks On Court Champion, Gilbert Arenas, leaped his way back into champion discussion after he laced up the “Lightning” and “Military Blue” Air Jordan 4s in consecutive games. Also, in our second Kicks On Court Weekly Recap Playoff Edition, associate editor, George Kiel III catches up with Dallas’ nifty guard, Delonte West to talk some of his best Kicks On Court moments this season.

Just want to buy a pair of Nike WMNS Blazer High – Suede Sneakers right now? Nike WMNS Blazer High – Suede Sneakers.

Old school style best describes the Nike Blazer High because it stays true to its roots. As a real baller, this silhouette has reached the point of getting some reincarnation by allowing suede on its top. From its classical concept now evolves an innovative shoe that is fully furnished by suede upper.

Nike claims a brand new look with this Blazer High and now in women’s fit comes various colorways of the suede construction. Giving much respect to women, Nike drops three beautiful colorways of this female fit pack that includes red, blue, and pink. The red pair is being adorned by yellow leather Swoosh with off-white tongue and a yellowed vintage style midsole. The pink on the other hand flaunts the same yellow leather Swoosh with off-white tongue but with white midsole. Lastly, the blue pack has lime leather Swoosh, off-white tongue, and white midsole.

This new Blazer High look with the suede upper promotes supportive stance and comfortable fit with lightweight Phylon midsole for excellent cushioning, and rubber outsole featuring herringbone pattern for best traction.

Nike is celebrating the Blazer’s 40^th anniversary so this suede pack is a special treat for the ladies.
