As Kevin Durant’s season continues to get better and better (the highlight I’m sure, was the defending of his H.O.R.S.E. title…NOT), Nike consequently gives the young star the praise and love he deserves. The Nike KD II – Black/Red is much different from the traditional Oklahoma City Thunder colorways, as it takes a turn with the black and red themed Nike KD II – Black/Red.

Kevin Durant is second in the NBA in scoring to LeBron James, however he still has quite a ways to go in order to match King James’ shoe game. The Nike KD II – Black/Red is a step in the right direction. I love the color design and it fits nicely with this underrated line.

The Nike KD II – Black/Red is not as bright as say, the Nike KD II – Creamsicles, but a patent leather upper gives the sneaker a shine of its own. In the opinion of Sneaker Demon, Durant deserves MVP consideration, and the Nike KD II, a “Most Improved” basketball sneaker award.

It seems like a lot of companies and lines have been making a comeback in 2010, and I must say that Reebok is right up there with anyone else in the industry. Reebok has always been steady, and I’m in no way, shape, or form saying that they were bad in 2009. I’m just suggesting that 2010 could be a really nice year for the Bok.

We’re only a quarter or so deep in the year, but Reebok has already announced the return of the Reebok Michael Chang Court Victory Pump, a second edition of the Reebok Respect Pack, as well as the newly released Reebok Zigtech (you’re going to love that one). 

Yet, I’m not sure any of the above quite compare to the Reebok Fullington. The Reebok Fullington is a super-hightop that takes a turn for the better (or worse) from the previously mentioned Reeboks; opting however for a sleek lifestyle appearance. The Reebok Fullington – Black/Steel pictured below, utilizes black leather with a white midsole and gaudy ankle strap. It’s a great take and sure to receive plenty of attention and praise.

Nike basketball hybrid sneakers are typically given portmanteau names to signify their parents. In this case, the Nike Zoom – Barcelona commemorates the birth of Nike’s Olympic colorway. 1992 was a fantastic year for U.S. basketball. The boys in red, white, and blue fielded an unstoppable force known as the US “Dream Team.”

The “Dream Team” brought together the NBA’s greatest stars, many of which could have only dreamed (no pun intended) of playing together. David Robinson and Charles Barkley were both terrific players, but an unlikely pair. Robinson was the soft spoken Admiral and an all-around class act. On the other hand, Barkley was brash and outspoken. Each played together in Barcelona.

During the Olympics, Barkley was fitted in the Nike Air Force 180, while Robinson sported the Air Ballistic Force. The Nike Zoom – Barcelona pays tribute to each sneaker with a slightly updated feel. You can check out some exclusive photos as Sneaker Demon gathers more information on a release date and price.

The adidas Originals Campus series has been one of the major stars in a stellar 2010 so far for Three Stripes. First, adidas hooked up for two huge collaborations to the updated adidas Campus Street Mid, and then, a massive production of new colorways.

The adidas Originals Campus 80s – White – Snakeskin is another fine example of how the boys and girls at Three Stripes are getting it done, Larry the Cable Guy style. The adidas Originals Campus 80s – White – Snakeskin (pictured below) profiles a long-tongued lowtop, making an otherwise relatively simple silhouette, hot. Top off the adidas Originals Campus 80s – White – Snakeskin with a little of that well-sought after sneaker material, and you have yourself a prime example of how to make money in the basketball sneaker industry.

The Nike Penny line garnered a considerable amount of success despite Penny Hardaway’s short duration as an elite player. At one point in time, Penny was a sensational player and clearly one of the best in the league, but his success at the top (four top-tier seasons until injuries rendered him short a few pennies from reaching the upper echelon) were traditionally short for a basketball player that has his own line.

Maybe that’s a testament to Penny’s impact on the league, despite the subtle time of dominance? After all, even though it’s been a decade of irrelevance to the sport, the Nike Penny line is still a sneakerhead favorite. While the Nike Air Penny Foamposite One continues to be the dominant favorite, the Nike Air Penny III still has a place in the industry. 

The Nike Air Penny III – White/Varsity Red takes after the Foamposite due to the upper, and sports a visible Air Max unit, or the trademark of all the Penny models. From the design to the tried and true color scheme, Sneaker Demon must admit we really dig the new Nike Air Penny III – White/Varsity Red.

Like what you see? The Nike Air Penny III – White/Varsity Red will debut in April of 2010.

Most men wouldn’t exactly consider pink the “perfect color.” However, the Air Jordan True Flight GS – White/Metallic Silver/Perfect Pink may just spark a color revolution. Sneaker fans will note that it has been awhile since the Air Jordan VII, especially lines like the Air Jordan True Flight, released a new colorway. 

But the fellas have been way too picky for way too long, and now the Air Jordan True Flight GS – White/Metallic Silver/Perfect Pink is releasing something new in terms of color design strictly for the ladies. The young ladies that is.

The pink on white design assures that no GS-sized boys would like to get cooties from wearing the new Air Jordan True Flight GS – White/Metallic Silver/Perfect Pink. If you’re looking to update the wardrobe and possibly make the male demographic of your classroom jealous, why not invest in a new pair of the Air Jordan True Flight GS – White/Metallic Silver/Perfect Pinks, retailed at $90 and available for purchase now.

It’s time to get original with the new adidas Originals ZX 700 Grey/Purple colorway. If you are a loyal follower of the three stripes brand, than you will testify that the adidas ZX 700 is to adidas what the Air Max 1 is to Nike. In layman’s terms, the adidas ZX 700 is a classic runner with unmistakable simple colorblocking.

The adidas Originals ZX 700 Grey/Purple is a nice addition to the line that adds both the traditional aspects of the ZX 700 while upping the ante a little. The adidas Originals ZX 700 Grey/Purple combines a grey upper with violet purple trim on the ankle, tongue tag, and the “eyeliner” on the toe. The midsole is a mix of grey, white, and cream to give this pair of adidas Originals ZX 700 Grey/Purple a serious vintage feel.

The official tag for the Nike Zoom Kobe V colorway pictured below is the “Nike Zoom Kobe V – Varsity Royal/Black/White.” However, many in the industry are simply referring to the new Nike Zoom Kobe V – Varsity Royal/Black/White as the “Duke colorway.”

It’s no secret that Kobe Bryant always had a thing for Duke and Coach K, as he’s admitted several times that #24 would have likely played in Durham had it not been for going straight to the NBA from high school. Every year the Kobe line tends to release a few colorways that instantly scream “Duke.” The Nike Zoom Kobe V – Varsity Royal/Black/White is without a doubt one of those inspirations.

The Nike Zoom Kobe V – Varsity Royal/Black/White is a slight difference from the Nike Zoom Kobe V – Duke Univesity – Player Exclusive worn by players earlier this year. And aside from the absence of the Duke logo, you might as well call this sneaker the same thing.  

Check out the new photos below as you eagerily anticipate the March 13th release date. Let Sneaker Demon know if you land a pair and what you think of the new Nike Zoom Kobe V – Varsity Royal/Black/White colorway.

Carmelo Anthony is the star player of my favorite NBA team, the Denver Nuggets. Although the Nuggets have looked very solid (aside from a loss to Washington ), it was tough to bear the news that Denver would be without Kenyon Martin (their starting PF), for the foreseeable future. The Nuggets are paper thin on the frontline, so one has to question whether or not this will kill their Championship hopes.

Thankfully, the Air Jordan Melo M6 – Future Sole provided a little good news for me this past week. Recently, Jordan announced a Future Sole Design Contest. The Air Jordan Melo M6 – Future Sole pictured below, is the winner of the competition. The sneaker was created by Austin Jermacans, and his design was recently produced and worn by Carmelo Anthony in an actual NBA game (Melo plans to wear the sneakers off and on for the rest of the season).

However, Carmelo is not keeping the kicks selfishly to himself. The Air Jordan Melo M6 – Future Sole will release to the public on June 1st. The specialty sneakers will only see a release of 3,000, so you’ll have to work to find a pair. The Air Jordan Melo M6 – Future Sole is a great example of how one of the most famous sneaker companies in the world can completely make the day (if not lifetime) of one lucky individual. For those of you with dreams of designing in the industry, don’t lose hope!
