Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard is at it again. The jovial big man, known for being as silly off the court as he is dominant on it recently released a viral clip reviewing his new adiPower Howard 2 hoop shoe. Of course, he loves the shoe and he also throws in a few funny remarks here and there to keep it entertaining.
The shoe will be available February 9 at Foot Locker, shopadidas.com and Eastbay for $100.
Today adidas released images of the East and West uniforms of the 2012 NBA All-Star game. The uniforms are inspired by the Sunshine State and 20th anniversary of the 1992 game.

Check out footage of some slick basketball tricks from adidas x Foot Locker “The Difference” commercial. Big Sean’s “Dance (A$$)” still serves as the soundtrack for the clip. Peep the video below:
adidas is keeping young hip-hop artists in the mix with their latest ad for the “Crazy Light” basketball shoe. The commercial features NBA players Dwight Howard, Eric Gordon and Jrue Holiday alongside Detroit emcee Big Sean showing how the 9.8 oz shoe helps you go from “JV to VIP” on and off the court.
The commercial goes live tomorrow on MTV, ESPN, Cartoon Network and Comedy Central but you can check it out now above.
Dwight Howard’s 2nd signature shoe is here, “straight off the ship”. The adiPower Howard features the same SPRINTSKIN and Z-Torsion technology as the TS Superbeast. The new LIVE MOTION technology offers personalized pin point cushioning, which we’re assuming replaces the ALIVE cushioning that was in previous D. Howard shoes.
As far as aesthetics go, each shoe features the number 12 on the outside ankle support area. The three stripes are broken into separate pin lines inspired by his jersey. Dwight’s signature is placed at the top of the tongue and numbers 1 and 2 are placed on the base of the tongue on the right and left shoe respectively.
The white/grey/blue colorway hits stores tomorrow for $100 with the black/black and black/white/blue makeups to follow on November 10 and December 1, respectively.
What do you think of Howard’s new kicks?

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.
The Gregory Brothers aka the same guys who did the infamous Antione Dodson “Bed Intruder” song have added their touch to the Slim Chin adidas “Fast Don’t Lie” song/video. Check out the hilarious results above.
The follow up to the “Fast Don’t Lie” video premiers tonight on NBC during Slim Chin’s (Ken Jeong) show Community. The spot, along with Dwight’s signature shoe is called “The Beast.”
D. Howard may be a nice guy in real life but he is a monster in the paint (and on twitter) so its no wonder adidas has dubbed his new shoe “The Beast.” The shoe comes in white, royal blue and black and features some nice tech (Torsion System, Pure Motion and Sprintskin to name a few) that adidas sports performance products are known for.
The shoe also has a personal touch from Dwight in the form of some of matte and high gloss in addition to his “Hey WOOOOOOOOOOORLD” tag which is featured on the heel inlay piece.
The Beast is definitely a shoe made for a big man. The heel and ankle support are strong and the shoe weighs in at a respectable 15 ounces. D. Howard’s signature shoe will be available exclusively at Eastbay and Foot Locker for $100.00 this November.
Ken Jeong’s (Community) alter ego Slim Chin joins NBA ballers and adidas pitchmen Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard for the hilarious “Fast Don’t Lie” video. Dwight Howard, who is normally pretty funny comes across corny on this one but Jeong is laugh out loud funny as usual.
