We hope everyone had a safe Thanksgiving Holiday and Black Friday shopping weekend, but let’s get back into the NBA Feet side of things, because the last few days was filled with a myriad of heat! Monta Ellis went ‘White/Red’ twice with his Air Jordan XIII and Air Jordan XIX ‘Midwest’, DeMar DeRozan went the ‘Bred’ IV route again, and some Air Flight Ones were spotted as well. Kobe Bryant whipped out a Grey/Purple PE colorway of the Kobe VII iD, the Spiz’ike was a Nike Free Run + 3 popular choice, and Rondo amazed us with his Air Jordan IX ‘Cool Grey’. There’s plenty more to see below, so check out the Weekend Recap of Sneaker News: NBA Feet and get caught up on the sneaker rotations in the NBA!

For some of you the World Basketball Festival might just be a group of sneakers from the likes of Nike, Converse, and Jordan Brand, but for the folks lucky enough to live in one of this year’s tour stops it’s a complete celebration of the power of the sport to unite people on a worldwide level. Showcasing the progression from the 2010 event in NYC to this year’s far flung tour, this video spot from Nike Inc. serves up a preview of things to come, with some insight from the likes of USA Basketball’s Coach K, Jerry Colangelo, Geno Auriemma, Diana Taurasi and Nike Brand President Charlie Denson. Click through to check out the video spot and let us know if you’re making it out to the World Basketball Festival 2012.

With all these NFL team-inspired colorways of Nike Trainer Retros, where does Air Trainer SC High fit in? Although we’ve yet to see a true capsule around the Detroit Lions, these do capture that appeal with the Grey/Blue combination. The Lions are sitting at a respectable .500, but they’re unfortunately placed last in their divisions with the Bears, Packers, and Vikings all playing great ball. Will we see Lions in the Playoffs in January? If you’re a Lions fan, show your support Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 by copping these Air Trainer Nike Free Run 4.0 V3 SC Highs this December 5th.

Earlier this year, a French fashion label with a vaguely Japanese-sounding name came through with a bunch of patterned collaborative designs.  Rounding out 2012, we see this Lincoln/Kennedy arrangement flipped, as Japan’s Adam et Ropé teams up with Off the Wall on a new style based on traditional beach outerwear.  The Adam et Rope x Vans Era features a navy blue mix of suede and ‘salt and pepper’ beachcloth atop your choice of an all-white or checkerboard-walled Waffle sole.  This subtle four-pack is likely to remain an Asia exclusive, so have a closer look below and let us know how they compare to Vans’ best stateside releases this year.
