Laces and zippers both take a rest on the latest Nike Hyperdunk creation for Matthew Walzer. A new interpretation of the basketball favorite sports a dial system on the heel, corresponding to cable closure on the laces. A simple push and turn of the dial tightens the shoe, while pulling on the dial loosens the fit. Would you rock such a makeup? Tell us in the comment section.

Debuted in 1982 on the hardwood of the NBA on the feet of Moses Malone and Michael Cooper, the Nike Air Force 1 is one of the most legendary shoes ever made. With 30 years of success behind it, Nike is bringing the silhouette into the present and the future with the launch of the Nike Lunar Force 1. Last night in Los Angeles, several members of the media were invited to the Nike Vault for the introduction of the shoe. Hosted by Nick Huff from Hard Knock TV, the night was kicked off with a brief Q&A with legendary Los Angeles Laker Michael Cooper. Michael talked about how the Air Force 1 was the first shoe he could play in that would last him up to 5 games at a time. His previous shoes would tear up after one game.

We also heard from George Labossiere, Sr Product Line Manager for Basketball and Nike Sportswear. George stressed how important it was to stay true to the legacy of the Air Force 1 with the Lunar Force 1. Things like the look of the shoe from the toe down angle as well as the story telling that has happened with the shoe. Since its debut, the Nike Air Force 1 has told some incredible stories and Nike plans to continue that trend with the launch of the Lunar Force 1. We were even given a look at a few upcoming models that used different construction for the upper and new materials. From nubuck, to elephant print, to safari print, the Nike Lunar Force 1 has plenty of options ahead of it. The Nike Lunar Force 1 will release in limited quantities on 12.12.12 in select Nike Sportswear retail locations globally.

The Nike Free Powerlines 2 “Diffused Taupe” is set for a 2013 release of the original Free Powerlines that came out this year. The new iteration is basically unchanged from the older one except that the hidden-flywire supported textile “lines” from the original give way to dynamic flywire.

What we have here is a purple colorway in foam fitting and dynamic flywire that rests on a speckled sole. Orange accents and green lining light up the product. The low tops feature tonal laces. If you’re looking for a lightweight pair of runners then wait for these to come out.

Every now and then, we come across the completely unexpected in our Kicks On Court column. The Phoenix Suns loss their seventh straight game at the hands of Orlando last night, however, Suns center Marcin Gortat was the lone bright spot on the court – literally. We spotted him in the Black/Volt Nike Shox BB4, a shoe that hit shelves as part of the Nike  Basketball Retro “Volt” Pack this past July. Gortat usually sports an all-orange Hyperdunk 2011 Supreme on the court, so him wearing the black and volt Shox BB4 is, well, shocking.

We also noticed Nets forward Josh Childress in the “Black Toe” Air Jordan 14, a shoe we rarely see on court these days. View these kicks plus more, worn by Eric Bledsoe, Deron Williams, Monta Ellis and others, below.

The “Brown Room” present in the flagship Kith store in the SoHo section of NYC is constructed of 150 year old wood, the original bricks from 1950, and American Steel. That room, along with the desire to be an indispensable part of American style, was the inspiration behind the Ronnie Fieg x ASICS Gel Lyte III “Selvedge Denim”. No material depicts America quite like the denim that engulfs the upper of the sneaker. The classic material is offset with subtle hits of red, white leather branding, and white and navy laces. The Ronnie Fieg x ASICS Gel Lyte III “Selvedge Denim” will release in commemoration with Kith’s One Year Anniversary on Friday, December 14 at 11 am EST at Kith stores and online. For the chance to purchase the sneakers in-store, head to either of the Kith NYC locations to place your name on the list.
