Kevin Durant and OKC Debut “Creamsicle” Nike KD II

When Kevin Durant and the majority of his teammates debuted the “Creamsicle” KD IIs on court, it was like the unofficial coming-out party for KD’s signature line, in my opinion. Most people paid little-to-no attention to Durant’s line until OKC brought the Creamsicles out in that nationally televised game against Dallas. This was at a time when Nike didn’t really announce a shoe being worn on court prior to the game; it was a welcomed surprise. I remember flipping the channel to the game after it started only to notice the entire team – bench included – in super bright orange sneakers.

If you were tuned in to the games yesterday night then you would have surely seen the Halloween PEs that Jordan unveiled yesterday; the sneakers on display were the Halloween CP3.VII, Melo M9 and Super.Fly 2. Each featured shades of orange or pumpkin colors and a black mesh tongue. These black and orange colorways were meant for Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Blake Griffin.

Take a look at the image, what do you make of the one with orange laces and a brand new Blake Griffin logo?

The Vans OTW Prelow “Leopard” is available now but only as an in-store purchase item. However, if you’re a fan of the Prelow and wish to check out how it feels to slip one on with the sneaker resting on the new Vans ultracush sole, which is a Polyurethane foam mold. Then you should have no problem heading to the nearest Vans store. Olive, black, and brown create the unmistakable feline coat appeal on the upper.

Nubuck and engineered textile have been used for the upper, while the insides feature a soft neoprene heel fit system for a snug fit.

Presented here for lovers of all things Jordan is the Jordan CP3.VII “Year of the Snake”. It follows the YOTS rendition of the Air Jordan 1 Mid. This one features a magenta, red, and purple base. Allusion to the serpentine angle comes via the scaly tongue. Absolutely no release information on this one so we can’t tell you whether these will hit the stores before this year peters out.

No surprises if the release of this silhouette gets pushed to 2014. And when they do get released, it will be in a packing as eyecatching as the sneaker itself. Check out the images.
