High-taste Jordans and LeBrons inspire the Air Jordan 1 “Venetto” Custom. Created by Jake Ferrato, this reconstructed AJ1 sports a cork upper outsourced from a North American company with over 150 years of industry experience. Burgundy leather paneling compliments the cork construction and wine theme, while lambskin lining and brass lace tips add to the prestige. Decked out in a wooden box made by RegularOlTy, this one-of-one size 10 is up for auction now on eBay with a matching cork and lambskin snapback available now at JBF Customs.

Grant Hill has never played for the Knicks, but FILA Lifestyle Product and Marketing Director, Lou Colon, is clearly a fan of the Big Apple squad. The FILA 96 “Knicks” takes the once Grant Hill signature and brings New York Knicks flavor to the silhouette in honor of their playoff run. The “Knicks” 96 features an all-blue suede upper with vibrant orange accents and outsole. This sneaker is a 1-of-1 for Colon, and will not release at retailers, but check out a complete look at the shoe below.

It seems as if JR Smith is making a late, playoff run for the Kicks On Court Champion award. After debuting the Nike LeBron X PS Elite “Superhero” in Game 1 of the Celtics vs. Knicks series, our Kicks On Court column spotted him in yet another coveted sneaker from Nike’s Elite series. In Game 2, Smith laced up the Nike KD V Elite “EYBL” while scoring 19 points to help the Knicks best Boston again; he also received his well-deserving Sixth Man of the Year award last night.

If you recall, the “EYBL” KD V Elite first surfaced on the web about two weeks ago and was specifically created for participants of the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL). Unfortunately, the “EYBL” Elite will not hit retailers, but props to JR for bringing a highly-coveted exclusive to the court. View these kicks, plus LeBron’s new Elites, Jarrett Jack’s superhero shoes and Draymond Green’s new iDs, below.
