Jose’s Calderon’s appearances in Kicks On Court have been a welcome change for our “bored with Hyperizes” readers. Donning a signature Li-Ning, Calderon is off to a decent start, averaging just under 13 points per game in this young NBA season. Not too long ago we took a close look at another Li-Ning sneaker designed for Baron Davis, the BD-1, and now we get a close-up on Calderon’s signature silhouette.

We saw this sneaker in action in today’s Kicks on Court actually, following last night’s Raptors game. These sneakers feature a black and red patent leather accents throughout the upper, while it also gets a healthy dose of plastic ribbing, adding a “rib cage” around Jose’s foot. his number 8 appears on the ankle insides, and the otngue logo features Calderon posing with 3 fingers up, which he does on-court when he just hit a shot from outside.

Nike Basketball has been represented throughout our Kicks On Court in the form of the ever-so-popular Hyperize and Hypermax. We have also spotted some classic retros; however, last night, San Antonio Spurs guard Keith Bogans sported a Nike hybrid in which many of you undoubtedly love.

In a losing effort against the Dallas Mavericks, Keith Bogans laced up the silver colorway of the Nike 1/2 Cent. This comes as perfect timing seeing that the silver 1/2 Cents just released at select retailers on November 10th, 2009. It is safe to say this is the only thing flashy about a Spurs basketball game in a very long time. Is this the best sneaker seen in our Kicks On Court so far? Click here to view the silver 1/2 Cent plus more kicks worn by LeBron James, Joe Johnson, Dwyane Wade and others.

Solebox has a history of solid collaborations. From their adidas Consortium “Your City” work to the hybrid Saucony Shadow 90, Germany’s sneaker spot of lore has proven themselves time and time again. In the above video, Solebox’s Hikmet Sugoer discusses his inspirations and Reebok’s meaning to him and other collectors, as well as their own Pump collaboration.

Nike fan Eric Villatoro worked the with folks at 21 Mercer to design this very purple Bespoke Air Force 1, mixing a handful of the numerous offered materials for a very eccentric look. From suede to croc, this Bespoke has it all.

It’s a good thing that Eric mixed his materials so much, as we saw another purple Bespoke in purple not too long ago. These change the look pretty dramatically though, as the deep purple croc on the forefoot area contrasts great against the suede used on the remainder. The real contrast comes in the white and purple Safar print used on both the Swoosh and tongue. A clear MX sole with red air bubble finished these off nicely. What would your Bespoke look like?

The run is on! With the Nike Zoom Kobe V on the horizon, NikeStore.com has made the IVs available online in the Gradient “Home” and “Away” colorways. If you recall, we just got word that these were hitting House of Hoops last week, but now everyone has a chance at grabbing a pair. Currently a full-size run is available, but move quick and grab yourself a pair before Kobe fans get them all.
