Voted to start yet another NBA All-Star game, Yao Ming will be sporting these kicks during the contest. The game will be played in New Orleans on February 17th and Yao will be joined in the starting lineup by superstars Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan and Carmelo Anthony.

These shoes, which are obviously produced by Reebok, utilize a simple colorway to highlight the dragon that is illustrated on the side of the shoe. The artwork of the dragon is very nice and stands out against the white background. Other than the white on the shoe, there’s some black and a few appearances of red.

There has been no word on when or if these shoes will be made available to the public. If you are interested in these shoes, be sure to keep a close eye on Yao as he starts his sixth consecutive All-Star game in a bit over two weeks. Via SN.

The drab colors and far-fetched premises of the Star Wars universe are brought to the world of custom sneakers with the shoes shown above. These Nikes are decorated with forest green paint and neon-green laces to mix the foliage surrounding Yoda’s home with the bright colors of Luke Skywalker’s light saber. The backing color on the toe box and the dark brown swoosh is a light brown/gray hue.

The main design element on these Nikes is the picture of Yoda on the right heel. The designer replicated the appearance of Yoda in an active pose without making it look the Jedi master hopped out of a comic strip. I think that the Nike Jedi Highs are a good gimmick though the colorway balances negatively against the accurate depiction of Yoda.
