It’s always a pleasure to be among the first to bear witness to what Nike has up it’s sleeve, and with all the anticipation surrounding All Star weekend building to a steady roar, I was given a peek at two pairs of Nike sneakers preceding the main event set to start popping off down in New Orleans. Coming off the tail end of the AF1’s 25th anniversary and at the start of the year long celebration of the Dunk, these two pairs pay homage to the Big Easy with their smooth styling and signature colors. Equally impressive is that a full $50 from every pair sold is being donated on behalf of Nike and the select retailers stocking them through the Let Me Play program to the Greater New Orleans Foundation to help promote physical fitness and sports to kids and their communities.

These will be available at Nike Town New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sports Plus in New Orleans, but good luck getting your hands on a pair. In the meantime enjoy the shots below…
