While most of his teammates were honoring Martin Luther King Jr. with special pairs of the Nike Zoom Kobe V, Pau Gasol did so using a different Nike basketball shoe. We already know that the Los Angeles Lakers big man enjoys balling in higher-top sneakers like the Nike Hyperize silhouette, as we’ve seen pairs of his own Player Exclusives designed for him. Last night Pau once again opted for sporting the Nike Hyperize, but this time they came in the same colorway as executed on the special edition Nike Zoom Kobe Vs that also paid tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. Enjoy pictures of the Nike Hyperize “Martin Luther King Jr. Day” in action after the jump. As with the Nike Zoom Kobe V, no concrete release information regarding this Nike Hyperize is known yet; however, we’ll bring you it should any come up. Which of the two exclusive MLK Jr. Day Nike basketball surprises do you think looks best?

A couple of days ago we featured an Air Jordan II Retro, which was in a University Blue/Black colorway. Here we seen another Retro II, but this one has a little twist to it. This sneaker comes tricked out in brown crocodile skin. Have we ever seen crocodile skin on a pair of Air Jordans before?
As you can see most of the shoe comes in brown, including most of the upper. The most notable feature on the sneaker is the brown crocodile skin, which can be seen throughout the side panels. Black is also placed on the shoe and can be seen on the laces, outsole, and near the ankle. Not really sure what that red dot is meant to represent. Sorry to say it Jordan Brand, but i think this model will be a huge bust. This is just a first look, so keep it here for updates on this one.

Sole is the same as before, staying true to tradition. This one is for the Western conference in the NBA. These are all special editions, there are 4 in the whole set, only one in high tops and colored grey. The brother of this slick kicks was shown below. Interesting note though, it seems the tongue logos are switched up for the red and blue versions. Here we see the red one have a blue Nike Air logo. While in the previous post, blue clearly has red logo emblazoned.
Quite a nice touch.And we’re thinking that the colorways are getting pretty old considering they’ve been using this for a long time now. You might want to check out the white version of this shoe, its quite strikingly neutral.
This one is another version of the slickest quadruplets in the history of Air Force Ones, the 2010 All Star Game Red patent leather version of the Nike Air Force 1 low.
Anyway, the shoe is done is red patent leather, same as the other blue patent we posted. Laces are still in white.

So, we’re bound to play favorites. The white sole with black cutouts is the design common to all of its brothers, and while predictable. We like it. The blue patent upper dominates the scheme while a grey swoosh and white laces switch it up. These my friends are the 2010 All Star Game series, the blue patent leather offering of the Nike Air Force 1 Low. This coming from a family of four is for the typical Eastern conference. We’ve seen this all before but it doesnt mean its not slick.
Which colorway will you go for? But more importantly, which conference are you rooting for?

Yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day- a day in which the life, mind, and accomplishments of such a powerful Civil Rights Movement leader are especially honored. Although the Los Angeles Lakers did not take the day off, they sure helped in Nike’s own form of paying tribute to MLK Jr. While taking on the Orlando Magic in a rematch of last year’s NBA Finals, Kobe Bryant, Shannon Brown, Lamar Odom, and Derek Fisher wore pairs of the Nike Zoom Kobe V designed especially in remembrance of Martin Luther King Jr. Enjoy pictures of all four in action and wearing these special edition Nike Zoom Kobe Vs after the jump, and let us know what you think of the idea and colorway. IF any release information surfaces, rest assured we’ll announce it.
