Without a doubt the biggest news in the basketball sneaker realm this spring is the introduction of Paul George?s first signature model, the Nike PG1. From young superstardom leading the Indiana Pacers to the brink of the NBA Finals in 2014 to a gruesome leg injury that could have completely derailed the career of a player less focused, PG?s first shoe?now three years in the making?releases as he returns to his full skill level and potential on the court. Paul?s journey to achieving the status of a Nike signature athlete is pretty incredible, but the journey of the man behind the design of the shoe, Tony Hardman, is also a tale of hard work and dedication to his own craft.

Now in his seventh year with Nike and his fifth in Nike Basketball, Hardman has definitely put in time in the trenches, so to speak, designing lower-tier, bread and butter hoops models while the big names like Leo Chang, Eric Avar, and Jason Petrie got the major projects. Looking back at his resume now (we?ll let him list his best designs below), it?s easy to see his time was coming, and now it certainly has. If the impressive PG1 is any indication, Tony Hardman may very well soon be a name sitting right there alongside those aforementioned Nike Basketball design legends.

Nike has plenty of head-turning retros returning for Air Max Day alongside with a few new creations as well, just check out the full Air Max Day 2017 Collection. Nike Sportswear could potentially be hosting a secret Air Max Design Contest, though, as Sean Wotherspoon, co-owner of Round Two, a well-known vintage shop in Melrose took to Instagram to show off a table full of notable deconstructed Air Max models with a #voteseanwotherspoon tag accompanying the post. Does that mean that Nike is searching for the next Air Max hybrid design in the near future, or are they merely tapping the creativity of the like-minded for some insane concepts? We’ll just have to wait and see but we know that March 2017 is going to be full of awesome offerings from Nike Sportswear. Stay tuned.

Virgin Abloh’s OFF-WHITE label is the perfect example of when high-fashion meets streetwear sensibilities and the Kanye compadre is busy working with Nike as of late. First, his NikeLab helmed “Equality” t-shirt was a big hit for Black History Month and samples of coming Nike Air Force 1 and Nike Blazer collaborations have been floating around for quite some time. Ian Connor took to Instagram today to preview yet another OFF-WHITE Nike Air Force 1 Low featuring bold metallic silver oversized Swoosh branding with unique stitching while the strange “AIR” label matches the medial side’s “Beaverton, OR” sample branding. There’s no word on if this pair is just a sample or part of a larger collection releasing later in 2017, but stay tuned.

Earlier today we gave you a first look at the all-new Nike SB Zoom Dunk Elite Low, a revamped and updated version of the classic SB silhouette that made its debut in 2002.

The new version features a one-piece upper that eliminates seams in high-wear areas, in addition to a larger Zoom Air bag in the midsole, which provides maximum impact absorption. One of the colorways that will be dropping next month is this “Sean Malto” colorway.

The Nike SB Zoom Dunk Elite Low Sean Malto takes inspiration ? with a nod to his ability to negotiate the streets or a competition course ?  from traditional samurai armor. Brass details, along with fabric and stitching choices flesh out the theme, which is completed by a special sock liner. The shoe features a couple of shades of blue on the upper with white and red accents.

The Nike SB Zoom Dunk Elite Low Sean Malto is available March 2 on SNKRS, nike.com and at select retailers.

The Nike KD 9 Elite has still not been officially introduced by Nike, but today we can get up close and personal with the shoe thanks to some detailed images from atmos. No doubt Kevin Durant’s most advanced signature shoe yet, the KD 9 Elite features a combination of Flyknit and a neoprene collar on the upper for a dynamic, foot-hugging fit and comfort, while it’s all locked down with some serious Flywire cables for the lacing system. The redesigned upper sits atop the same full-length visible Zoom Air cushioned tooling of the standard KD 9.

The KD 9 Elite releases tomorrow in Asia, but there is still no word if or when the updated sneaker for Durant’s playoff run will hit US Nike Basketball retailers. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for further updates.
