I love the color scheme and the pattern on this year’s Nike Basketball “Black History Month” lineup. I still do not own a pair of Kobe 8s, so this might be my first Kobe 8 purchase.

The Teyana Taylor x adidas Originals – Harlem GLC is set for a 15th February release. Adidas has quite the reputation among the big players to come with the most striking silhouettes that are full of personality and demand the same from the prospective wearers.

These kicks define streetwear sexy and in a way are a real tribute to the edgy creativity of Teyana Taylor. The Italian leather has been colored bronze and features reptilian embossing. The heel straps here are the real kickers, lending these retro-inspired sneakers a lady-like appeal.

The Vans California Collection is set to debut the Tweed Pack as a part of its Spring 2013 collection. Quality wool has been used to fashion the tweed uppers of the Vans CA 159 sneakers that make up the tweed pack. These should come out this month.

The CA 159 takes its inspiration from the 106 Vulcanized and Era 59, with the latter making its presence felt through the heel accents. These kicks feature a leather heel mustache, antiqued lacing hardware and a traditional vulcanized waffle outsole.

Available in Dark Shadow and Forest Night colorways. Take a look at the images, perfectly cozy for the cold weather.

DeMar DeRozan began the season in a plethora of Jordans, however, the former USC Trojan has been showing a little variety as of late. In last night’s loss to the Cavs, DeRozan became the first NBA player to wear the “Gem Green” Foamposite Pros on court. He donned these to coincide with the Raptors’ alternate camouflage uniforms. The “Gem Green” Foam Pro released in the summer of 2012 and is considered one of the better and most sought-after Foam releases of that year. View these kicks plus more, worn by Jarrett Jack, Monta Ellis, Richard Hamilton and others, in today’s edition of Kicks On Court.
