Adidas Basketball officially launched AdiZero Rose 2.5 - Release Feb 2, 2012

adidas officially launched Derrick Rose’s new shoe for the 2nd half of the NBA season, the adiZero Rose 2.5.


The AdiZero 2 that came out in October 2011 was a great success with it's low-cut profile. I know a lot of kids around my way got the L-Train or X-mas edition for Christmas last year.


The AdiZero 2.5 is the 4th adidas Rose signature shoe, and although it is now a high cut, it only weighs in at 11 ounces, making it the lightest AdiZero Rose has ever worn.


Featuring a SprintFrame upper to reduced wight and a GeoFit memory foam around the ankle collar, the shoe also comes with many details about Chicago and D Rose, such as the rough Englewood neighborhood he grew up in and satellite imagery of the area taken from outer space on the toe box.


The adidas adiZero Rose 2.5 will be available in Home and Away editions on February 2nd at Foot Locker, Eastbay, and shopadidas.com for $110.

Nike Zoom Kobe VII ‘Year Of The Dragon’ unique packaging

The LAST shoe of the quartet of Nike "Year Of The Dragon" Collection finally shows up with it's special collectors item packaging. The Nike Kobe 7 System Supreme "Year Of The Dragon" edition comes in the most unique box and I am sure that only a handful of people were able to get them. Hack, not even Nike employees can get them, honestly I don't even know how this dude on Tweeter got them. Maybe because he lives in China or whatever, but heck at least we all get to see the special packaging w/o ever owning one. Images via: malambert

PUMA Suede "Year Of The Dragon" collection

I've mentioned this before and I'll say it again. There are more BILLIONARE in China right now than the rest of the world combine. So it makes perfect sense that many shoe company are flocking up to get that money from the Chinese, that seems to have endless spending power. We know, Nike has embraced the Chinese New Year theme for their Air Force One for more than a decade now, but it has never entered the Year of The Dragon before. The Dragon is a mythical creature long feared by the Chinese, their Emperor that unites China from many kingdoms into a country was told to be a Dragon since he was so great and referred . So this coming Monday, January 23rd, 2012 marks the beginning of an even more prosperous year for the Chinese. Along with Nike, PUMA is also jumping on that bandwagon with the PUMA suede in an all red 'scaly' upper with gold lettering, symbolizing the lucky pocket given to children or unmarried young relatives and the scales of a dragon. To accompany the shoe, Puma also offers the T7 jacket to match in a vibrant rent colorway. Both are available now in Honk Kong, China and Taiwan.

Nike Huarache Free Basketball 2012 - TWO new colorways for spring

Nike Basketball has been concentrating so much on the release of their Hypedunks and Hyperfuse series these past 2 years that they didn't release a Nike Huarache for 2010 and 2011. Now, with the retooling of the Nike Free bottom and the emergence of Nike Sportwear with their retro branding, the result is the new and improved Nike Huarache Basketball 2012, with an upgraded retro looking Nike Huarache upper and a re-configured Nike Free bottom made specially for basketball. Two original colorways were introduced in late 2011 as quickstrike, now as part of the spring Nike Basketball collection, we have two colorways that also has the same retro feel to it. If you missed out on the December quickstrike release, make sure you get these two hot colorways and do me a favor and please use them for basketball. Although, they do look awesome with jeans on as well. Please be advised that these run a half size big.

Supreme x Vans Authentic ‘Campbell Soup’

Who wants soup?  Vans is collaborating with Supreme with this release of the Supreme x Vans Authentic ‘Campbell Soup’ that will make Andy Warhol roll over in his grave. A very attainable shoe if it wasn't for the Supreme tag of the back, but seeing that it is a Supreme release than you probably will have better luck getting a pair of Yeezy than these, LOL!
