Didn't see a thread for this, so I thought I'd contribute (although it's not on the same level as the ZKIV) ... just wanted to provide a threadfor those who were interested. I'll start with the latest addition, Nash's black PE for the upcoming season ...

Steve Nash has always been a bit different from other NBA players. Sure he's an All-Star point guard and two-time MVP, but he also openly protested the war in 2003 (at All-Star Weekend, no less) and -- as an African-born Canadian -- sometimes embraces hockey and soccer a little too closely.
His shoes are different, too. Last year he wore the Zoom MVP, a lightweight lowcut that was inspired by the Air Max 90 and overshadowed by the Zoom Kobe IV. Well, Nike has revealed his shoe for next year, the Cradle Rock Low Supreme, which is even lower and more retro/skate looking than the Zoom MVP. Utilizing "Cushlon" -- whatever that is -- the Cradle Rock looks like a combination of the Dunk, the Court Force, and the Zoom P-Rod III. The first release, a four-shoe 'Asia Pack' repping China (white), Japan (red), Thailand (tan) and the Phillippines (blue), has already dropped in Asia.
2009-10 Black PE
Steve Nash's new signature sneaker, the Nike Cradle Rock Low, has been seen in limited colorways this summer, but with the NBA season fast approaching, we got a look at the former MVP's black Suns PE color-up.
These definitely are as wild as the four colorways we've seen in the "Asia Pack," which pays tribute to the flag colors and cultural aspects of Thailand, China, The Phillipines and Japan. These instead only pay tribute to Pheonix's purple and orange colors. The paneling on the upper mixes pebbled leather, patent leather and and a mixture of the two types, with orange and purple contrast stitching. The Swoosh is white, as is the midsole, which sits on a purple outsole. On the heel is Nash's "SN" logo and on the tongue is the "Re-Fresh" tag. A lot of you have compared these to the Dunk in looks, though these are much more purpose-built.
