Although the Kobe 8 System officially hit retailers today, the Nike Zoom Kobe VII is still a popular shoe amongst NBA players today. Today, we take a detailed look at Cleveland Cavaliers rookie and Kobe VII aficionado Dion Waiters’ footwear. In last night’s game against the Celtics, Waiters wore a black, yellow and burgundy Kobe VII that is easily one of the better NikeiD creations we’ve seen on court this season. What are your thoughts on the Kobe VII versus the Kobe 8 System? View these kicks plus more, worn by Paul George, JR Smith, Nick Young and others, in today’s edition of Kicks On Court.

What is the first thing that crosses your mind when you take a look at the adidas Spezial? Isn’t it that wow, that is such a classic silhouette. How old was I in 1979 when this model was so successfully let loose?

There is a choice of four colorways, sunshine, vivid red, black and red as well as blue and green. A suede upper sits on a gum or dark gum outsole. the accents in leather appear on the heel and of course the stripes. Will be available from next spring but can be had on pre-order even as you read this.

Take a look at the images and then decide. $70 will get you these.

Kobe Bryant fans in Los Angeles were treated to an early release of the Nike Kobe 8 at Staples Center. Talk about special releases; this was a seriously limited edition pack of which only a few were made available…only yesterday and only for a very short time. And yes, priced at $224 but sold only through raffle tickets, so if you were the lucky one then you would have by now the Kobe 8 System in Black/Sulfur, custom Black/Sulfur Elite socks, a sleeve and special packaging. Only twenty four pairs were released. Take a look at the images, what’s your take?

The adidas Originals Forum Mid gets a reptilian makeover and will appear in three different iterations in the Spring of next year under the aegis of the “Snake” pack. And if you’ve been a regular reader of this blog you’ll notice that other reptilian themed sneakers too have been released; the snake theme in all probability owes its inspiration to the next year being the “Year of the Snake” according to the Chinese Calendar.

$137 gets you these kicks in white, black, and grey with the upper sporting a construction of leather, mesh, and suede.

The Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97 TXT – Gym Red / Black is a leather and mesh affair but is most certainly not for everybody; you need to have the courage of conviction to carry it off. The Air Jordan Wings logo features a hologram effect. The dotted paneling with white in it has a soothing effect given the preponderance of red on the upper.

Black appears in the form of some suede for the ankle and accents via the midsole and shoelaces. Coming on the 31st of December and will sell for $130.

The Reebok ZigEscape “Camo” debuts with a camouflage treatment given to John Wall’s signature line. The color of choice is grey with the digital camo effect being present on the toe and midfoot section.

Technological features include a TPU heel-cup to keep the foot in place; a zigzag rubber outsole for better traction and the ability to stop at will and the mid-cut design protects ankles. Step on to the court in style. The new John Wall logo sits neatly on the tongue; a fitting tribute to one of NBA’s award-winning rookie point guards. The blue tone on the outsole and the Zigtech-inspired midsole round off the look.

Yours for $114.99.
