The Charlotte Bobcats, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Jersey Nets and San Antonio Spurs – will recognize the anniversary by wearing commemorative uniforms and hosting special in-arena events.

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.

Undrcrwn’s latest additions to their often imitated Dynasty series features two teams that consistently took L’s to MJ–the 1993 Phoenix Suns and the 1994 New York Knicks. While the Suns tee is run of the mill, the Knicks tee is funny and provides a different twist via Charles Smith’s crossed out name (any Knicks fan can relate). Both t-shirts are currently available at UC’s online store.

Pretty soon, sneaker companies are going to start selling air out of shoe boxes, but until then adidas has succeeded in creating the lightest basketball shoe on the market. Today they dropped the details on the adiZero Crazy Lights after a couple years of brainstorming from the Adidas team. The shoes weigh just a bit more than a half pound, at 9.8 ounces; they were developed from the canvas of a bare foot. The uppers are a sort of translucent nylon lending to the lightness of the shoe and the cooling comfort of the player. Wearing these Crazy Lights, would be akin to breaking ankles at breakneck speed since everyone knows, the lighter the shoe, the quicker the moves.
The adiZero Crazy Light come out on June 3 in four colorways for $130 including sharp blue/white, black/red/white, grey/white/neon green and red/white. Six additional team colorways will be released through September and will be available at Foot Locker and Eastbay.–Nadine Graham

Orlando Magic big man Dwight Howard is getting a special colorway of his adidas Super Beast sneaker for the NBA All-Star game. The AS edition features essentially the same mechanics as the original with updated styling. The three big stripes are inspired by the jersey and the fade takes a cue from famous movie scenes where the enemy didn’t know they were about to be attacked. Expect the shoe to hit stores sometime this month at a clip of $100.

It seems that David Stern’s wish has been granted as the NY Knicks have returned to relevance. With Amare and Raymond Felton having monster years, the team enlisted DJ Steve Porter to put together an NBA All-Star game voting video/song titled “#1 Reason to Vote Knicks.” The video features a who’s who of celebrity Knickerbocker fans as well as a few real blue and orange supporters. Check out Fabolous, Drake, Whoopi Goldberg, Tracy Morgan, Chris Brown, Donald Trump, one of those Jersey Shore clowns and many more in the video above.
