During his short few years in the NBA, Kevin Durant has risen as one of the league's top 5 players already. Each year, he's taken his game to new levels and Nike Basketball has followed in his footsteps in regards to his signature sneaker series. Over the years, the brand has produced great styles of the KD lineage, some of which have caused a high level of excitement within the sneaker community, making the KD series one of the most popular lines of any major signature athlete.

With the introduction of the Nike KD 6 most recently, we at SneakerWatch felt the need to shine some light of Kevin Durant's first five signature models (as well as the KD 6) so we put together a list of the Top 30 Nike KD's. The list contains several kicks Durant has laced up over the course of his professional career as well as the more limited, highly sought after editions that were tough to cop. 

Click through the slide above to get a full view of our Top 30 Nike KD's and let us know where your favorite pair of KD's falls.

The end of the week only means a fresh set of celebrity sneaker photos. Today's recap features 43 images of notable names highlighted by Drake. This time around Drizzy comes through with his choice to rock a pair of Roshe Runs while hanging poolside. Although not the typical pair of Jays we're use to seeing him in, the sneaker's crimson colorway does serve as an added pop to the rapper's flashy lifestyle.

Other celebs in the list include DJ Clark Kent and Victor Cruz in "Aqua" 8's, Soulja Boy in "Grapes", Bow Wow in a special edition pair of Reebok Questions, Teyana Taylor sporting "Cool Grey" 11's, DJ Khaled rocking Jordan 3's, Joe Budden with Foamposites and Waka Flocka in "He Got Game" Jordan 13's.

Enjoy the full rundown and let us know who you think had the best kicks of the last seven days.

LeBron James was seen sporting a very unidentifiable pair of kicks during the Heats practice this weekend. The mysterious shoe, which looks like nothing we've seen before on the LeBron line, is actually his eleventh sneaker still in its wear testing format. 

Although much is still unknown about the silhouette, the above image gives us an early idea of what to expect from the overall form, including the rumored "Armorposite" technology, which is stated to be featured in the design.

As of now the LeBron 11 is set to debut in stores this October, but until then look out for more images and info regarding the shoe within the next few weeks.

After months of Foamposite One releases, Nike is finally giving us a refreshing version of the Pro style. Next month the brand will launch this "Army Camo" makeup following up the previous camoflauge design we saw earlier this year.

The new model comes set on a mixture of green, black, brown and tan and is topped off with a gum bottom. Unfortunately this newly reworked rendition will come at a price as the retail mark has been bumped up to $250. 

Check out the images and be sure to mark your calendars for June 8th.

Following yesterday's look of LeBron wearing a black'd out sample of his eleventh signature shoe, comes an early image of one of the actual release models. This "Gamma Blue" makeup is expected to hit stores in the fall and offers us the first true glance at what to expect from the silhouette once it launches. Unlike some of the prior LeBrons, the XI features no visible Air bubble and debuts the brand's new Armorposite technology. Another standout attribute is the Nike logo placement along the midfoot, again flipped like we saw on the 10's. As of now the shoe is set to retail for $200 with a markup on all the Nike+ editions.

Do you like what you see from the LeBron 11? Are you comfortable dropping $200? Let us know in the comment section below.

Nike Basketball's Zoom Hyperflight has another graphic styled colorway on the way, this time derived from an animal pattern. The new "Orange Tiger" design is the follow up to the Superhero Pack and continues the brand's trend of offering much more than basic colorways on the silhouette. 

Take a look at the early images of the styling and stick to SneakerWatch as we update you on their release.

Foamposite lovers get your pockets ready. Yet another rendition of the built tough silhouette has hit the net and the new makeup features a one of a kind pattern. At first glance the colorway appears to be inspired by an outer space asteroid but given the angles of the teaser shot, we will have to wait until more images are available to fully decipher the story. Until then, check the pics and let us know what you think.

The Nike Foamposite is one of our favorite shoes and because of this we are pleading customizers, sneakerheads and apparel designers to obey our "25 Foamposite Commandments". Above is a list of Foams we do not want to see anymore, ranging from over-worn pairs to incredibly corny custom designs. Check the list and let us know if you agree.

Tomorrow Jordan Brand will launch a new style of the Jordan 8. As we anticipate what else is to come from the silhouette, including the OG "Playoffs" makeup, this new "Suns" model comes next on our list.

Rumored to be a homage to the Chicago Bulls' 1992-1993 NBA Finals opponent, the sneaker takes on similar color tones to that of the Phoenix team colors in accents throughout the shoe The black suede based creation is mixed in with grey, deep royal blue and bright citrus contrasts to give it that dark yet eye catching appearance.

Check out the detailed photos and look out for them in stores tomorrow, Saturday May 18th for $160.

After the runaway success of the Roshe Run FB in the "Yeezy" colorway, the people over at Nike have decided to hit us over the head with a crazy leopard print on the beloved lifestyle model. In a bright orange upper with brown spots that sits atop an equally bright orange midsole/outsole, this is one eye catching silhouette. Topped off with a swoosh near the toe that borders on a mint green color, this is one colorway to take note of. Check out the images and let us know what you think of this bold new iteration of a crowd favorite.

As Nike Sportswear continues venture outside of their Air Max 1 Essential and Engineered Mesh series, we take a look at what the brand has on the horizon for the latter part of the year. Above is a Premium edition of the classic model that features a non-traditional color-blocking design not normally featured on the Air Max 1. A combination of suede and mesh take hold of the upper while the vibrant Volt Green accents on the collar and toe area stand out against the mostly black upper. These are part of Nike Sportswear's Fall 2013 series so check back with SneakerWatch for the latest photos and info. Image: Street-Rules

The Air Jordan line has given us a few "olympic" themed sneakers but none have been the Air Jordan 3. CDKSneakers took aim to change that and most certainly did. Dressed in a golden upper while using the "True Blue" 3 as the base, the shoe is accented with hits of red on the cement print and the toe section under the print. This red/white/blue shoe is highlighted by the Jumpman that is dressed in an olympic uniform as well as having the gold medal around his neck. The Jumpman on the heel is given the same treatment and is joined in the patriotic theme by the bars on the heel as well, which are given the colors of the "Stars and Stripes". Check out the images and let us know if you would select these over any other olympic inspired offerings from the Jordan Brand.

Recently we showed you the "Gold Brick" Air Jordan 11 that were commissioned by Joe Haden of the Cleveland Browns. It turns out that Kickasso Kustom Kicks was just getting started. Updating the black/gold colorway with Superman's logo, a blue upper and a midsole that faded from a royal to a navy blue. This custom is in one word: amazing! Check out the pics of the remixed Jordan 11 and let us know what you think.

The Miami Heat have managed to get plenty of rest during this NBA postseason, only losing 1 game in their last night 9 match-ups. They're currently waiting to see who their next opponent will be in the Eastern Conference Finals and sneakerheads are waiting to see what new colorway LeBron is going to debut next, if any. One shoe that he has worn on court and that many would love to see at retail is the "Red Suede" edition which we get another look at above. While we have yet to receive any release info, we do have another group of photos above to keep you updated. Click through the new images above and let us know what you think. Images: Sneaker Yetti

While many of us have hats, tops and wrist accessories that match our kicks, it seems that we usually go with regular eyewear when stepping out. Look/See is here to change that.

A new colorway of the Barkley Posite Max is hitting retailers tomorrow! Continuing the trend of makeups derived from Charles Barkley's playing career, this latest styling pays tribute to his time with the Phoenix Suns. Unlike some of the previous versions we have seen this new "Suns" edition features a scaly-ish texture along the Posite material which serves as a reference to Barkley's role in the Godzilla ads during the 90's.

Click through the photos and look out for them tomorrow, May 18th at your local Nike retailer for $230.

Following the look at Ram-Sees' custom "Oreo" Jordan 11 is a shot at his "Cement" inspired rendition of the silhouette.

Check out the pics and let us know what you think of the design.

Most recently, SneakerWatch brought you a detailed look at what Nike SB cooked up for the World Cup which will be hosted in Brazil in 2014. Though the extensive global tournament is just about a year away, the Skateboarding Department is offering one of its latest SB Dunk Low designs this year and above we get an updated look at the styling. 

As we mentioned previously, Nike SB used the Brazilian flag as inspiration for the design. A Royal Blue nubuck suede is applied to most of the upper while vibrant yellow accents are seen on the collar, heel, and Swoosh. Finishing off the styling is minimal hits of green seen on the Nike branding on the tongue and heel as well as the sole.

Yesterday, a new colorway of the Air Trainer Max '91 surfaced, this particular pair designed in honor of the Oakland Raiders and more specifically, the legendary Bo Jackson. Nike continues to focus on NFL styled-designs for their Trainer models as today brings us a new colorway of the Air Trainer SC II High, this one produced after the Miami Dolphins. These too will see a Quickstrike release, dropping on May 24th at retailers such as Oneness. Check out the photos above and let us know what you think.

If you know anything about Richard "Rip" Hamilton of the Chicago Bulls, then you know that his sneaker game is on point. Being a Jordan Brand guy definitely has its perks as Rip gets boxes upon boxes of shoes sent to him. Whether they be GR, limited editions or player exclusives, the Jumpman blesses him, and his followers are the winners as they get sneak peeks at upcoming shoes and from time to time, he is known to give away pairs to his followers as well. That's a good reason to follow him if there ever was one. Check out the Instagram pics that we dug up and tell us what you think of his Air Jordan game. 

Rumors had been circulating regarding Kanye West's footwear for his appearance on SNL tonight and we've received all the confirmation needed.

Good Day folks, happy Saturday. It is time for another edition of #SneakerOfTheDay. Today's edition was chock full of variety and it sure made for a great day of sneaker eye candy. Let's get right to it and showcase what was on YOUR feet.

The fans of the Jumpman were out heavy today as the brand saw plenty of action today. The brand was represented with atleast one shoe from models 1-8 and an 11. An all black Jordan 1, blk/chrome 2, a few 3's, "Bred" and "Fired Red" 4's, "Laser" 5, "Carmine" 6, "Olympic" 7 and "Phoenix" 8's were a few of the colorways reppin' for his Airness. A "Bred" 11 also made a cameo as it proved that its popularity is no dying anytime soon.

The basketball category was very active today as the "Fighter Jet" Foams, a few pairs from Kobe's line including the "Christmas" Kobe 7 and the "Mambacurial" Kobe 8. LeBron's signature was not far behind as we got the "China" 9's and a Soldier colorway. The KD 5 was also present as the BHM and an ID were out. A "USA" Reebok Kamikaze was out and about and an adidas Forum was also worn out today.

The running/lifestyle sector was dominated by a bunch of Air Max 1's, the "Yeezy" Roshe FB, a couple of NB collabs such as the "Seal" 999 and the "FingerCroxxx" MT580, and Bodega X Saucony Elite Shadow 6. The selection was closed out by a pair of the classic white/white "Uptowns" in the high and low cut models.

Overall this was a great selection for the day and proved that Saturdays are the best for bringing the heat out. Thanks for showing us what you guys have in the stash as well as showing the community that you should wear your shoes. Have a great rest of your Saturday.

Celebrity sneaker collections are always something that catches our interests. Given the nature of person and their high level of wealth, the closets of the rich and famous often put many of the true die-hards to shame.

Above is a partial look at DJ Khaled's set up, most notably highlighted by his polaroided boxes. Although not the best of shots, the photo reveals some of his Foamposites, several pairs of Air Force 1's, a few LeBrons and of course a variety of Jordans.

In case you have any doubts about the We The Best general's love for kicks, look no further than our interview with him a few months back and be sure to check the pic and let us know if you're impressed by his collection.

Nike Sportswear has been engulfed in their increasingly popular Engineered Mesh series along with their equally fan-favorite Essential collection but today brings us a back to one of NSWs' previous sets in the "No Sew" collection. The upper portions on the pairs in this set don't consist of the typical stitching through the ribs on the side panel so the colorway is really the standout feature and this particular version does not disappoint.

A combination of Black/Anthracite shades take hold of the base while a Gamma Blue hue is seen on the tongue as well as the bordering of the Swoosh. Anyone feeling these can hit up Oneness today to cop a pair as they've recently started to pop up at select retailers.

Earlier this week images of Pusha T's collaboration sneaker pack with Saucony hit the net in full detail. Despite the upcoming release, Pusha still doesn't shy away from the Jordans. Yesterday he shared an image of his new "Red Suede" 4's which aren't due out until July. Take a look at the pic of his new kicks and let us know if you will be copping this summer.

Paying homage to the great Bo Jackson as well as the legendary Oakland Raiders, Nike is bringing back the Air Trainer Max '91 even if it is  Quickstrike release. This pair is decked out in obvious Raiders colors with a Wolf Grey upper along with Black accents and 3M hits placed on various sections around the construction. The "Bo Knows" insignia is seen across the straps on each sneaker while the Raiders logo is seen on the heel of the left shoe and Jackson's #34 seen on the heel of the right, finishing off the design. Look for this QS release at select retailers like CNCPTS on May 25th.

Trinidad James has been quiet on the sneaker scene lately but don't think his collection is suffering. Yesterday James shared a look at his new "Aloha" pack Nikes which hit stores today. Check out the photo of his new pickups and let us know what you think of them in the comment section below.

After being drafted 6th overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, Damian Lillard out of Weber State is now in line to be one of the better players in the league. After shocking the world in the NCAA tourney and giving other teams that work with the Portland Trailblazers, Damian will be named Rookie Of The Year for the current season. Adidas is now commemorating the achievement by releasing a very limited version of the Real Deal model. In a red/purple/black color way and decorated with "Town Biz" and "Fly Guyz", the shoe is representative of much of Damian's life. The. Plots represent his team colors from high school to the pros and the decorative brandings represent his hometown of Oakland, CA and his close circle of friends. These come with a price tag of $120.00 and will be available at Shoe Palace in Oakland, Preorder at adidas or you can come meet Lillard at Compound in Portland from 6-7:00 P.M on release day.

The New York Knicks are once again playing in an elimination game tonight as they head into Indianapolis to face the Pacers on the road in Game 6 of their best of 7 series. Long time Knicks fan and Pacers rival Spike Lee will be in attendance at the game (as he usually is) and he'll be cheering his Knickerbockers on while wearing an exclusive pair of NYK Foamposite Ones which he posted on Instagram earlier. SneakerWatch will make sure to try and bring you photos of Spike laced in his Knicks Foams later on so stay tuned.

Overseas retailer SneakersNStuff is fresh off of a successful collaboration with Reebok as the duo teamed up and produced the highly desirable Reebok Question "Crocus" which released not too long ago. And as we move along in this spring season, SNS continues to join forces with the resurgent brand and their latest get together involves the Reebok Pump Fury, this joint effort dubbed "Legal Issues". SneakerWatch brought you a look at these in late April and if anyone's interested in copping a pair, Packer Shoes has them available now. Hit them up to cop a pair today.

As far as customs go, this is a certain masterpiece. Looking like a cross between "BHM" and "Watch The Throne" LeBrons, Chef of GourmetKickz has outdone himself. Sitting atop a 3M reflective midsole and sporting something similar to the "Uplift" motif from the "BHM" LeBron 9, this is nothing less than a piece of sneaker art. Topped off with the gold lion's head accessory and gold foil swoosh, this is a custom that is sure to be seen on the feet of royalty. Check out the images and if you are interested, hit up AF1King to place an order.

Earlier in the year, it was announced that Jordan Brand would be bringing back the coveted "Fire Red" 3's which last saw a retro release back in 2007. While the sneaker community is patiently waiting on the return of that classic colorway, we at SneakerWatch take a look at what you guys laced up to close out another week before we head into the weekend. And highlighting today's #SneakerOfTheDay recap is the another fan-favorite Jordan 3 coming in "True Blue" form.

As we continue to click the large gallery of photos above, we get into even more Air Jordan retros such as Black/Cement 3's, Flint 13's, and Jordan 2011's followed by White/Cement 4's, Olympic 7's, and Anniversary 11's. A strong presence was felt with the appearance of several Posites such as Copper Foams, Electric Blue Pros, Area 72 Barkleys, and Sole Collector Zoom Rookies. A variety of casual kicks were also included in today's recap with the likes of Asics GT-II's, Mr. Cartoon AF1's, DQM AM 90's, Safari Am 1's, Asics Gel Lyte III "Cervidae", and a pair of Liberty AM 1's, capping off another strong day of kicks in the community.

LeBron James won't be the only Nike Basketball athlete to see his performance sneaker transformed into lifestyle form. Included in the redesigned set is Kobe Bryants signature shoe. Above is an early look at the Sportswear rendition featuring the "Mexican Blanket" colorway. Unfortunately the model is only set to release in Asian markets next month. For now click through the pics and stick to SneakerWatch as we update you on possible US launch info.

Fresh off its return, the Nike Zoom Hyperflight has a reworked, hybrid rendition on the way. Fully integrated with a 360 air sole, the newly styled silhouette puts a splash on one of the brand's notorious basketball models.

Pictured here is an early look at the lenticular "Hologram" colorway, rumored to be dropping this fall. While much is still unknown about the sneaker, this early detailed look courtesy of SoleAwesome, gives us a good idea of what to expect.

Click through the images and let us know your thoughts on the Vis Zoom Hyperflight 360 in our comment section below.

Ronnie Fieg's "Salmon Toe" ASICS design has become one of the most prestigious in his entire catalog. Like most notable colorways, the makeup is also one constantly replicated by sneaker customizers. Above is the latest recreation of the look, put together by DeJesus Customs set on the Jordan 4. Much like the ASICS, the shoe features a navy back end with a peach styled toe area and Jumpman branding. Click through the pics of the finished product and let us know your thoughts on the work.

Over the past few weeks, SneakerWatch has kept you updated on this re-designed styling of the Nike Kobe 8 System known as the "Mambacurial". Today, Nike has unveiled the official photos of the sneaker as well as some background information on the design and colorway. The inspiration comes from Kobe's upbringing in Italy during his childhood where he developed a love for soccer. The "Mambacurial" is a based on Kobe's love for the sport of basketball as well as soccer which is incorporated by Nike's new Mercurial Vapor IX football boot. 

The colorway sees a Fireberry Engineered Mesh upper which has been the typical construction for the Kobe 8. The obvious differences in this particular design is the placement of the Swoosh which has been moved to the forefoot of the silhouette instead of the side panel as well as an enlarged Nike branding seen on the medial part of the sneaker, finishing off the style. 

The "Mambacurial" Kobe 8's are set to drop June 7th but overseas sneakerheads are able to cop their pairs today. 

A new version of the Jordan 4 might be on its way, in addition to the "Red Suede" and "Green Glow" models we've previously previewed. This "Stealth" rendition appears as a different take on the "Cool Grey" theme featuring a multi-tonal base, ranging from black to lighter set of grey hues. Additional attributes such as a speckled midsole and a suede upper are seen, but still don't provide us with enough info as to what to fully expect from the makeup. For now, check the pics and stick to SneakerWatch as we update you with more images and release info.

Jordan Brand kicked off 2013 with several styles of the Air Jordan 1. Models such as the Chicago, Royal and Knicks editions began what now has been a year's worth of Jordan 1 launches. As we anticipate what may be down the road for the silhouette, we can also shift our focus to this month's rerelease of the "Black Toes". 

Last seen as part of the Old Love/New Love Pack, the sneaker returns with official Nike Air branding and with a true high cut, close enough to the OG 1985 pair as we have ever seen. Take a look at the images and be sure to keep their May 25th release date on your calendar. Until then stick to SneakerWatch as we continue to update you with more photos.

As samples and player editions go, we never get wind of too many Air Jordan 1's. 2 rare pairs recently hit eBay and they were both Air Jordan 1's in a black/purple combination, with some details that differentiated one pair from the other. While being pretty much the exact same pair with all the same details, the inner lining, tongue and tags were different colors on both pairs. One was accented with a Max Orange kind of color reminiscent of the Air Jordan 1 from a few years back while the other one was done up with white. Besides that, the laces were also in combination with the colors as well. Check the images and lets us know what you think and hit up Jesusisbackintown's eBay page (White and Orange) for more details on these pairs.

Last month the Air Jordan 8 "Bugs Bunny" makeup made its way back into retail stores. Following up is this week's launch of the "Phoenix Suns" model derived from MJ's 1993 NBA Finals opponent.

Given the history behind the silhouette, it's only right that Jordan Brand will keep things flowing with yet another re-release of the Playoff rendition. For the third time since its debut in the 90's, the colorway will be back in-stores just in time for the summer. Above are several early detailed shots given to us by Joe Venuto.

The 2013 Retro "Playoff" Air Jordan 8 is currently scheduled to hit stores on June 15th alongside the "Black Grape" Air Jordan 5. Until then, click through the pics and give us your thoughts on the re-edition.

Without the help of his running mate Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant had a tough time against the much more rugged Memphis Grizzlies who eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night to advance in the postseason. So any chance of Durant breaking out his new KD 6 model has been diminished but above we get another look at Nike Basketball's latest addition to the KD series.

The first photos of Kevin Durant's sixth signature sneaker first surfaced most recently and SneakerWatch was on hand to bring you a highly detailed look at Leo Chang's latest design. This first colorway, as we mentioned previously, features an extremely vibrant tone of a Yellow/Teal-Navy combination which helps the style stand out considering the model's sleek new design.

Many sneakerheads, including our readers, have pointed out this silhouettes' similarity to soccer cleats and with the placement of the Swoosh moved to the forefoot instead of the side panel, it adds an all new dimension to KD's latest model. Continue following SneakerWatch for the latest on the KD 6 as we bring you the latest updates and images.

Earlier this month, a new colorway of the Air Max Hyperposite model surfaced suggesting that Nike Basketball was continuing with this series that has grown extensively over the past year. Many were taken back by this new colorway which features a Mint Green Foamposite upper along with 3M reflective grey piece and Crimson Red lining on the collar. It resembles that of the Christmas Player Exclusive worn by Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo much earlier in the NBA regular season but as we mentioned previously, this edition consists of different qualities. While there's still no word on a potential launch, new photos of the sneaker have surfaced courtesy of Sole Awesome which may point in the direction of a possible drop. SneakerWatch will make sure to keep you updated but for now click through the updated images above and let us know if you'd rock these.

Without Russell Westbrook by his side on the hardwood, Kevin Durant has had to carry the majority of the offensive load in order for his Oklahoma City Thunder to be successful. Monday night's performance by the OKC Thunder proved why they miss Westbrook as the Memphis Grizzlies took a 3-1 lead in their best of 7 second round series. KD brought out a new Player Exclusive Elite colorway of his fifth signature sneaker, one that we may not see at retail. But what we will see next up is the "Playoffs Home" edition which Durant has worn on several different occasions. They're set to drop this weekend at select Nike Basketball retailers such as Social Status so make sure to check for availability this Saturday, May 18th. 

Last month, Reebok relaunched Shaquille O'Neal's first basketball sneaker after two decades of wait. Yesterday, Swizz Beatz offered his Instagram followers a look at a very pricey and exclusive version of the Shaq Attaq, put together for charity featuring an assortment of diamonds. Designed by Gabe The Jeweler, the sneaker features various studded attributes including two custom dubrees, the tongue and two hangtags.

Take a look at the pic and let us know how much you would pay to own the bling'd out shoe.

The bright colors of the state flag of Texas sure fly high on this custom Air Max 1 full of state pride. One of our usual suspects when it comes to customs, JWDanklefs, is behind this one. A cement print upper and the black mudguard break up the Texan feel but also add a new touch to the shoe that most sneakerheads can relate to, whether you are from Texas or the "Empire State". Check out the images and let us know what you think of this remix to the classic runner.

The Air Max 90 is one shoe where the term less is more surely works best. Classic colorways or at least those that come closest to them, usually hold it down for the line and gets the community excited. This Strata Grey/Cyber Green colorway is definitely one of those. With hits of cyber green that are paired with a dominant black mudguard and a white/starta grey upper, this shoe is a winner. Whether hitting the gym, everyday strolls or lounging with your people, this shoe fits in just about anywhere. Check the images and let us know what you think of this well balanced shoe and if you are up for these, check out Nike Sports Wear retailers including Crooked Tongues to get your pair.

Recently we showed you player edition shots of Nike Kobe 8's for Brittney Griner and Skylar Diggins. Now we get a look at a set of Lebron X done up for Griner's teammate, Diana Taurasi. The images show a pair for the "home" and the "away" versions of the team uniform. Black and white bases are combined with the orange/purple of the WNBA team from the city of Phoenix. 3 different pairs of laces allow Diana to get creative and speckled midsoles truly make this a formidable set of sneakers. Check out the pics and let us know what you think of these 'Brons custom made for the UConn legend.

Earlier in the year, the sneaker community got a taste of what it's like to participate in an Easter Egg-type hunt for sneakers when Nike Sportswear announced that type of release for the Lunar Force 1 QS "Easter Egg" Collection back in late March. The brand seemed to like the idea as they've embarked on yet another mission for shoe heads to get involved in, this time using the Air Max "Sunset Pack" as the subjects. 

NSW will use the help of Nike athletes Amar'e Stoudemire of the New York Knicks and quarterback Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers to move along with this endeavor which will begin on May 23rd. Throughout that day, both athletes will announce five clues each on their own Twitter and Instagram pages as to where (in either NY or SF) participating sneakerheads would be able to find one of the five limited edition "Sunset Packs" which will come complete with the packaging you see above. 

Let us know what you think of this venture and make sure to the official rules to be able to participate.

Well this isn't something we see everyday from the likes of an eBay auction. The Air Jordan XIII from the #XX8DaysOfFlight contest from the Jordan Brand is up for sale on the 'Bay and all proceeds are to be donated to the St.Jude Children's Research Hospital. Some of you guys may think that this is nuts being that this pair is impossible to obtain but we at SneakerWatch must commend the seller, Native2Skills for having the heart to help children in a big way as well as the gall to part with this piece of sneaker history. Please, if you do anything today, go check out the auction and commend the seller through his instagram page @throwuponyaself for paying his good fortune forward to kids who he has no relation or ties to as well as showing some of these "sneaker celebrities" that there is more to this game than being connected or exclusive.

As part of Reebok Classics' intense resurgence of their basketball models, they recently brought back the coveted Shaq Attaq in its original colorway. But it looks as if there's much more on the way for this popular series as a new photo of this black/blue design has surfaced today. If you recall, SneakerWatch first provided a look at these back in February of this year but since then, we haven't heard any news about them, suggesting Reebok was gearing up for a later release. That time may be on the horizon with the releasing of this updated photo today courtesy of Michael K. Williams. While no release info has been announced, we hope to see more of this colorway in the near future. For now, check out the new view above and let us know if you're feeling these.

It's not typical for a Bespoke Air Force 1 to find its way upon a bidding block on eBay, especially one that was featured in a movie. But that's exactly the case for the pair we see here today. The above design was created by none other than major Air Force 1 aficionado DJ Clark Kent. And if you recall, these were seen in the 2010 film "Lottery Ticket", showcased in glass case inside a Foot Locker store.  

The overall styling gives off that "What the..." motif with different color blocking and materials used on each individual shoe within the pair. A variety of shades, materials, patterns, and graphics was applied to every scale of each shoe, making for another highly eccentric Bespoke AF1 design as most of them turn out to be. 

Again, these have made their way to an eBay auction so make sure to check out the additional images above and check out the listing on eBay as well.

With the warmer weather vastly approaching, we'll start to see more and more of Jordan Brand's upcoming summer lineup come to light. One of the most talked about retro releases has been the arrival of the "Red Suede" Jordan 4's, a design that is on every sneakerhead's radar. SneakerWatch has provided several updates on this highly desirable retro and here we get another look at the Grade School version as Jordan Brand is making sure to produce entire family production sizes for this particular launch. The smaller-sized pairs consist of different qualities than the adult sizes and the differences can be seen in the updated images above. Click through to get a better viewing of what to expect from the Grade School version in case you're planning to scoop a pair for a young family member and let us know what you think of these.

The New York Knicks were faced with an elimination game on Thursday night as they went into Game 5 of their second round series with the Indiana Pacers down 3 games to 1. With their back against the wall, the Knickerbockers were able to grab a victory and pull within a game of tying up the series which heads back to Indiana for Game 6, another elimination game for the New York squad.

Before we head into Game 6, we take a look back at some of the footwear worn by the athletes in Thursday night's win at Madison Square Garden. More specifically, we focus on the league's Sixth Man of the Year Award winner J.R. Smith who snapped out of his shooting slump and played a great game. He hit the court in the Blue-Black-Orange colorway of the Nike LeBron X Elite, pouring in 13 points to help keep his team extend their playoff lives. 

A few other athletes also impress with the kicks. Smith's teammate Kenyon Martin showed off his Fontay Montana Air Jordan 9's once again while Carmelo Anthony dropped 28 points in his "Knicks" edition Jordan Melo M9's. D.J. Augustin of the Indiana Pacers continued to hoop in the "Thunder" Air Jordan 4 as well, concluding this latest NBA Playoff sneaker recap. Images: ESPN
