2013 marks the twentieth anniversary of Nike Basketball’s original signature athletes colliding in the NBA Finals.  A matchup so perfect it’d make the MVPuppets jealous pitted Michael Jordan’s two-time defending champ Chicago Bulls against rebellious 92-93 MVP Charles Barkley’s Phoenix Suns.  And on the eve of the ‘Playoff’ Jordan 8 Retros next month, we see a classic Sir Charles model take on a style that’ll be gracing an AJIV later in the fall.  This Fire Red Nike Air Force Max 2013 gets the ‘Toro Bravo’ tag with its aggressive colorway, and you can see a new set of images below while we wait for next Saturday, May 25th’s release at spots like Sneaker Bistro.

russell westbrook champs jordan Russell Westbrook x Champs Sports: Jordan Brand Game Starts Here

Russell Westbrook is among the NBA’s truly elite talents; just ask Kevin Durant how much of an impact he makes.  That’s why Jordan Brand chose him as one of the Jumpman’s youth movement representatives, and a young baller can further relate to the twenty-four year old Westbrook as represented in this new spot for Champs Sports.  Backed by T.I.’s ‘Go Get It’, ‘Game Starts Here’ shows how Jordan has you covered head to toe this summer, both on the court and off.  Three summery styles are emphasized in ‘Grape’, turquoise and citrus; let us know your choice after watching the video below.

NBA Feet: Around the League – 5/13 – 5/14

nba feet may 13 14 NBA Feet: Around the League – 5/13 – 5/14

Are Kevin Durant and his various Nike KD V Elite PEs on the way out of the playoffs? It sure seems that way, as OKC has fallen to a near-insurmountable 1-3 in their current series with Memphis. And as one of the league’s premier sneaker stars wavers another stands strong, with LeBron James and the Heat happily pushing the Bulls aside and going up 3-1. Slightly unexpected sightings from this set of NBA games sneaker-wise included the Air Jordan V “Metallic” on feet for JR Brick Smith, a random Nike Air Force Max 2013 courtside for the Spurs, and the recurring LeBron Zoom Soldier fare on the feet of one Danny Green. Continue reading for all those and more in this edition of NBA Feet.

Further proof that we’re missing out on so much potential NBA Playoff goodness with all the injuries to big names: Derrick Rose‘s secondary adidas signature.  There are only a select few athletes who have achieved success sufficient to warrant a sneaker offshoot, so even while we haven’t gotten to enjoy D-Rose’s on-court mastery in a good while, seeing him in a rarefied class with LeBron, Kobe, KD and Dwyane Wade is a solid reminder.  This adidas Rose 773 Light colorway is one you’d naturally connect with fellow Chicago legend Michael Jordan, with its mix of Bulls and UNC colors making for a solid summertime hoop shoe.  Check them out below and keep your eyes peeled because availability in Asia means they’ll hit US retailers soon.

Li-Ning Wade All City

li ning wade all city Li Ning Wade All City

Dwyane Wade’s first Li-Ning signatures sold so well that the Way of Wade has spawned a second line.  The Li-Ning Wade All City is another example of the design language used in D-Wade’s sig series, including the unique ‘W’ shaped eyestay that’s one of the defining features.  These are more affordable than the Way of Wade, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be easier to get your hands on, especially for US sneakerheads.  Furthering this notion is the fact that the Wade All City hit for April in China, so check them out after the jump below and let us know if you plan to leverage overseas connects to grab a pair.

The Nike KD V Elite “EYBL” is a sneaker that won’t be seeing a retail release, as mentioned indirectly by the man himself Leo Chang in our most recent interview with him. So now that we know there’s no chance of getting them at retail, how much would you pay to get your hands on them? Asking that very question is this auction, which is maybe just a bit too optimistic regarding the fanfare for this pair. Then again, it has definitely been the most celebrated of Nike KD V Elite colorways so we’re sure someone out there who is on the hunt will happily grab em. Continue reading for the full photos of the Nike KD V Elite “EYBL” after the jump and then check out the auction from footswagg2 on eBay.

Elena Delle Donne is a battle tested scoring machine the Chicago Sky were happy to select with the second pick in April’s WNBA Draft.  Delle Donne officially became a Nike athlete last week, and it looks like she’s already enjoying the spoils.  In a WNBA YouTube video from a few days ago, we see the Delaware grad rocking a colorway somewhere between her new team the Sky and their Chicago Bulls counterparts on the forthcoming Nike Hyperdunk 2013.  This recap of a conditioning workout gives several crisp views of the pronounced heel that presumably wraps the back of the foot in LunarLon.  Check out the full clip after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more Hyperdunk 2013 details including a release date.

LeBron James wore yet another Nike LeBron X Elite PE during last night’s Heat victory, wherein he and his team cruised to a game four win against Chicago.

The number of Nike KD V Elite colorways available at retail will balloon to three come this weekend. The third of those is this, an Oklahoma City colored sneaker that skips out on the orange sections in favor of a little bit of yellow. Of course OKC is looking just a little bit shaky at the moment as a result of Russell Westbrook’s absence, but hopefully that won’t cut Kevin Durant’s post-season time too short. See extra shots of the Nike KD V Elite “Playoffs Home” and watch for them in stores on May 18th at spots like Sneaker Bistro.
