Outside of the original Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star that Wilt Chamberlain dropped 100 in, Larry Johnson’s CONS Aero Jam “Home” is arguably the brand’s most iconic basketball sneaker. Fueled by the famous “Grandmama” marketing campaign, the bold silhouette features a distinct appearance that can’t be missed. Oversized tongues, removable and reversible lace shrouds, and complex color blocking make it a unique model that is memorable by many. The classic “Home” style code sets the shoe in Charlotte Hornets hues, with a white base and black shroud, accented by teal and purple. Interpreting the velcro straps and Converse’s React cushioning from its original 1993 release, these classics will make a return this year for All-Star Weekend at Converse and at Foot Locker family stores. Mark your calendars for the February 14th release date, and give us your feedback on the OG Aero Jam retro in the comment box.

Denver Nuggets small forward Quincy Miller has been on a tear with his kicks on court since 2014 began. In January alone, we spotted Miller in the “Playoff” Air Jordan 8, the “Silver Anniversary” Air Jordan 2 and the Jordan Melo 1.5, just to name a few. He also debuted the “Bobcats” Air Jordan 10 and sported two Air Jordan 11 colorways – Gamma Blue and Cool Grey.

On the Nuggets’ current four-game road trip, Miller has solely worn the all-black, laser-etched Air Jordan XX via 2008′s Air Jordan 3/20 Countdown Pack. If you recall, we last witnessed this shoe on the feet of the reigning Kicks On Court Champion Derrick Williams during last season.

View these kicks, plus Jordan Hamilton’s Prelude Kobes, below.

No need for a trip to Sochi to grab a pair of the USA-themed Nike Free Trainer 3.0 Mid Shield, as they have recently landed at Nike Store. Fully equipped with Flywire and a Free outsole for performance and weather-resistant Shield technology, the kick also lends itself well to the sports casual side with a sleek design featuring all navy up top, peppered with white and red throughout and “USA” on the heel counter. Feeling Olympic? Check the all-american Free Trainer 3.0 out now at Nike, where they’re going for $120.

Shaquille O’Neal‘s cinematic career was far less successful than his NBA vocation, but Blue Chips was one of his productions that earned its title as a classic. To celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the film, Packer Shoes is collaborating with Reebok to create a commemorative edition of the shoes that Shaq wore on the movie cover; the Reebok Shaq Attaq. For those of you who have missed out on seeing the historic film, it is about a coach’s dilemma of whether or not to pay players to come play for him, with Shaq as one of the stars. To tease at their Packer Shoes x Reebok Shaq Attaq “Blue Chips”, the two brands who have had already had great success together show a “Friend of the Program” insole and the blue/yellow heel of the shoe on top of a pile of money. Also quoted to build anticipation is one of O’Neals most famous lines from the flick: “This course shoe is culturally biased.”

Tell us if you’re intrigued by a “Blue Chips” Reebok Shaq Attaq in the feedback box at the bottom of the page, and keep a close eye on Nice Kicks for any future developments.

If all-red makeups in fiery tones are the current movement, then the Nike Free Hyperfeel “Gym Red” is a must-have. The minimalistic runner is designed to get you as close to the ground as possible without sacrificing comfort, but this new style code will have you far out from the crowd. Two similar shades, gym red and bright crimson, combine to create a vivid appearance for the Free Hyperfeel that is uninterrupted. Darker on the lateral side and lighter on the medial panel, the only non-red hue used is atomic orange on the footprint outsole. Tell us what you think of this bold getup in the feedback box, and slide into a pair today at Nike.
