Since 2007 is the year of the Zero, I bring you the Las Vegas Edition of the Adidas Gil Zeros. I stumbled up these bouncing around Sole Collector Forums and I had to post them.
Two ways to look at this: 1) a cool concept of Adidas to release both All-Star and Las Vegas editions of the Gil Zeros or 2) Adidas is milking the Las Vegas/Gilbert Arenas combination for all it's worth. (While you're pondering, what are the odds of hearing "Hibachi" on in the Asian Gaming section of Mandalay Bay on All-Star Weekend?) Given that the Las Vegas editions are $105 more than the All-Star editions (yes, they're priced at a obscene $199.99), I'd say that Adidas is milking the limited release angle for all it's worth.
For that much cash, these kicks better come with Las Vegas Edition Groupies. Anyway, Agent Zero broke out the shoes in the first half of the Knicks game on January 17th. There's wasn't a lot of Gilbert highlights so I only found one photo of him wearing the shoes (Caron Butler dunked the game winner as the Knicks focused on shutting down Arenas). He's tangled up with Jared Jeffries on the floor, but you can still see the shoes.
Still, I haven't tried the Gil Zeros on the court (I'm not one for ballin' in lows especially after a brutal ankle injury a few years ago) so feel free to drop a comment to let me know how well they play.
Here's where you can find them:

In the first quarter, it looked like they were headed toward a quick defeat; however, something changed along the way.The way it started out with the Texans scoring a touchdown, and the Raiders' offense going nowhere, hardly getting even a first down over the two quarters, in addition to all the typical Oakland penalties, it wasn't looking good.

Under normal circumstances, a heavy attack on the team in style is not desirable light keep the 2007-08 season, the Warriors will almost playoffs. The key is to many people the ball, which is offensive to the reasonable distribution of opportunities to put forward higher requirements.
