Lastly, the Air Jordan 3 is previewed in the “Infrared 23″ colorway as are the newest launches from the Jeff Staple clothing collection.

For Spring 2014, Vans California went out of its way to bring its fans a new pack of sneakers that does not compromise on style. For the “Primera” pack, the SoCal streetwear label is bringing back three iconic silhouettes that are dressed in a variety of quality materials. The Old Skool Reissue CA, the Chukka Boot 69 CA, and the Madero CA are all part of the new offering from Vans.

The uppers of these sneakers are rendered with premium suede, supple leather, and herringbone fabrics. The sneakers are then drenched in soothing colors, such as grey, blue, and sepia. The silhouettes maybe a little retro, but the design aesthetic done on the sneakers give them a fresh, modern look.  The Vans California Spring 2014 “Primera” Pack is already available at selected Vans California retailers.

Behold the Ronnie Fieg x Filling Pieces Quilted RF-Mid. Made in Portugal, this classy collab is composed of fine quilted leather and finished off with a premium pig skin lining. White, red and black color codes take on tonal finishes, lending themselves to a custom silo shaped by Fieg and Filling Pieces. Limited to 200 pairs, the Ronnie Fieg x Filling Pieces Quilted RF-Mid collection will launch in-store this Saturday at Kith followed by an online launch on March 10th at 11 AM EST.

In what has been a stellar sneaker season in college basketball, San Diego State and UNLV put on arguably the best single-game showcase of the year. No. 10 SDSU won the conference battle on the scoreboard, but the award for best sneakers is still up for debate. Both the Aztecs and Runnin’ Rebels have always been elite College Kicks On Court programs, and neither disappointed in the footwear category on Wednesday. Each team brought out Nike Basketball and Air Jordan exclusives from past and present, with almost every player donning a notable pair. Although SDSU and UNLV took the overall headline of the week, a number of rare models were donned around the rest of the country.

From the Nike KD V Elite “EYBL”, to the “Championship Pack” LeBron 9s, rarely-seen sneakers were out in full force to wrap up the regular season. Click through the following pages to see the best laces from across the nation on the NCAA scene, and keep refreshing Nice Kicks for the rest of the season for much more College Kicks On Court.
