For Sprig 2012, Converse starts the year off right with the new Converse Spring 2012 Chuck Taylor All Star LP. This collection of modernized All Star Hi and Low models will come in three monochromatic schemes comprised of canvas. Minimal branding will account for the reserved but clean look of this classic shoe. Go casual and look out for the new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star LP early 2012.

The public is invited to interact with Dwight and Derrick. Both athletes will launch the second version of their adidas signature shoes: Dwight Howard Superbeast and adiZero Rose 1.5.

The appearances offer fans photo and autographs opportunities. Autographs and photos are on first come, first served basis, so fans are encouraged to arrive early.

First-time NBA All-Star starter Derrick Rose’s adiZero Rose 1.5 is lighter and more supportive than its predecessor because of a new formulation of SPRINTSKIN. Five-time NBA All-Star Dwight Howard will debut the Dwight Howard Superbeast, which features an all-new support system built for his unique style of play.

Both shoes are available now at Foot Locker.

The Converse All Star Tie Dye Pack dropped overseas just in time for the warm summertime months. Composed of the Chuck Taylor All Star and Skidgrip Mid and Ox, each model’s canvas upper has been tie-dyed. A purple/orange/pink/white schema and black/purple/green/royal blue/ white scheme colorway are offered on the Skid and Chuck, and both are complimented by a rubber outsole. A bit too lucid for my purist tastes, but perhaps the Hypeasts/”Kanyeezys” of the world will match these with their rose-colored denim and multicolored polo shirts this July? Only time will tell. The Converse All Star Tie-Dye Pack is available now at select overseas accounts.

After seeing a preview of the Commes Des Garcons Play x Converse Chuck Taylor Pack, the four-pack shoe has finally released. The pack consisting of black and white Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi’s and Lo’s marks the ongoing “Play” collection by Japanese brand Comme Des Garcons. The trademark heart symbol is featured on one side panel of each shoe as well as on the insole. Of course, the shoes use an all-canvas upper to keep it clean and classic. These CDG Chucks are available now online for a hefty price of about $145 each.

That’s right ladies and gentleman, the NBA All Star weekend is finally here. NBA All Star weekend provides all hoop fans with a time to watch some of the best basketball players in the world go out and have fun. For this year, Nike has decked out their top athletes with some of the hottest gear on the market. Ranging from Lebron James’ Nike Zoom Lebron VI (6) – All Star Game all the way to the eco-friendly Nike Zoom MVP Trash Talk – All Star Game, Nike will definitely be well represented this weekend. A couple other notable sneakers worth checking out are the Nike Huarache ’09, the Nike Zoom Kobe IV, and the Air Jordan CP3 II. All of the aforementioned sneakers can be seen after the ‘jump’ as well as on players’ feet this weekend. Via Kenlu.

With the NBA 2009 All Star Game just around the corner, we are now getting a first look at a Nike Zoom MVP inspired by All Star Weekend. Though Steve Nash did not actually make the roster for the game this year, his signature sneaker, the Zoom MVP, will still receive the All Star Game treatment. This pair is a “Trash Talk” release which indicates that the sneaker takes an eco-friendly approach and is literally made of trash out of Nike’s factory floors. The All Star rendition of the Zoom MVP features a white leather upper with a gold swoosh, gold accents, red laces, and red accents. These are now available at select Footlocker House of Hoops locations. Via NT.

Though the Nike Air Force 1 – All-Star Game ‘09 has been available early on the ‘Bay, the official release date for the pair is tomorrow, January 7, 2009. Designed by DJ Clark Kent, the 2009 All Star Game inspired Air Force 1 shown above features a black leather base accented by a purple rear and an orange midpanel. The colorway of this pair is derived from the Phoenix Suns’ jerseys for the obvious fact that the game will be held in Phoenix, Arizona. Other key aspects of this sneaker include yellow stitching, purple laces marked with yellow stars, and a yellow outsole. These are rumored to be a quickstrike release which are set to hit limited retailers including Kicks/HI tomorrow.
