On February 11th, Nike will debut their newest limited-edition collection celebrating Black History Month. The 2012 release pays homage to champions: the 1996 USA Basketball Women’s team, the 2008 Kenyan Long-Distance running team (both Olympic Gold winners), and the 2002 Brazil Men’s Soccer team (FIFA Cup winners).
The collection is built on black and grey tones throughout, the only differences being the vibrant graphics on the tongue, the lining, and the tips of the laces. Each item features either a nod to Kenyan beading, Brazilian Carnivale or African-American quiltmaking in the South.

No question D. Rose is one of the most exciting players Chicago has seen since Jordan’s legendary reign over the league back in the day. The 23 year old point guard has led his team (of equally young players) to the playoffs every year since he was drafted in 2008. Is it the shoes? Is it the shoes? Maybe. Maybe not, but they must help things. Rose debuted the latest version of his adidas adizero sneakers recently. The Rose 2.5s are said to be “the lightest signature basketball shoe Derrick has ever worn to give him next level speed and support.”

Brandon Jennings Bloodline sneaker is one of the most slept on kicks of this hoops season. During the Under Armour Brandon Jennings Invitational in Milwaukee–which took place yesterday–teams/players were wearing a few SMU Bloodline silhouettes. Under Armour should definitely release some of the colorways that we’ve seen over the last few weeks in limited quantities.

For the last few years Christmas day had yielded sneakerheads player exclusive kicks to drool over and scour the net for. Under Armour has joined the fray with PE’s for four of their five hoop stars (the Clippers DeAndre Jordan recently signed with UA). Milwuakee Bucks PG Brandon Jennings has a special Rudolph themed Bloodline, Bobcats rookie Kemba Walker has the Juke in Red and Velocity (new take on traditional red and green), fellow Timberwolves rook Derrick Williams has a Supersonic in Silver, Green and Red, and the Memphis Grizzlies Greivis Vasquez has a Juke in traditional Christmas red and green.
Unfortunately none of the player’s teams are in action today and Scrooge Stern will probably not allow them to rock the kicks in later games so this may be the closest we get to seeing the shoes.
