With the release of the Kobe V, Nike will soon deliver its complement, the Dream Season II. The first Dream Season released after the Kobe IV and was an Asia Exclusive just as the II will be. This Nike practice extends beyond the Kobe line as it is also seen in the LeBron line with the Ambassador models serving as the Asia Exclusives.
The Dream Season II is a low-top unlike the high or mid cut of the first Dream season. The design of this shoe is heavily steeped in that of the Kobe V and it features some of the same technology such as flywire. Once again, this sneaker will be an Asia Exclusive to release in the Summer of 2010.

Nike Sportswear will be releasing the pictured Dunk Hi Supreme in the Spring of 2010. The black and purple components of the shoe are composed of some sort of textile weave. The slight reflection off the yellow swoosh reveals that the swoosh is patent leather.
The upper sits on a white midsole and gum outsole. The contrasting soles encapsulate a Zoom Air bag for comfort. Nike Sportswear also kept comfort in mind for the lining as it is covered in a breathable mesh material. Flip the post for some close-ups of the shoe.

Jordan Melo M6 WhiteOrange BlazeMidnight Navy

White leather is used on the upper to construct a majority of this one, while Midnight Navy swoops in on the midfoot piece. That same hue is used on the midsole stitching, while Orange Blaze appears on the Jumpman and Melo logos. These will drop just in time for Cuse to make a run in March in them, and given their pretty impressive score in our Melo M6 Performance Review, there’s a chance we see some of the Orange sporting them around then.

Air Jordan Alpha 1 Ray Allen PE

The Air Jordan Alpha 1 was undoubtedly the surprise of the Kicks On Court: Holiday Treats. Most people paid attention to Dwyane Wade’s Alpha 1s more than anybody else; however, Ray Allen’s Alpha 1s were not too shabby themselves.
This Air Jordan Alpha 1 owns a predominately black base with Christmas colored accents throughout the upper. For instance, it possesses a green inner lining and outsole, while the midsole stitching, swoosh, shoelaces and the Jordan wings logo is done up in red. Which Air Jordan Alpha 1 iD is better: Dwyane Wade’s or Ray Allen’s?
