News Tmz: We are well aware that J.K. Rowling had a thing for wands and broomsticks, but who knew the Harry Potter scribe was also obsessed with high heels? The author is so passionate about stilettos; she spent an entire Radio 4 segment chatting about the "myth and power" of footwear. That's right, Victoria Beckham—you're not the only Brit with a high-heeled infatuation! "Naturally, I'm not a pumps girl, I'm not a sensible flats girl," the 48-year-old explained, adding: "There does come a point when it gets a little bit ridiculous, you need to be able to walk the dog, and I do walk the dog, and I don't do that in stilettos." PHOTOS: Spring sandal and nail polish combos Rowling dives deep into her history with strappy sandals during the hour-long program, sharing that her fashion awakening came hand-in-hand with her writing success, which subsequently, as we all know, lead to many red carpet appearances. But despite her self-admitted fetish, at most of her film premieres, her shoes have been hidden under couture gowns. The only hint of her obsession came in July 2009, when she donned an eye-popping pair of gold Christian Louboutin heels at the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince premiere.

After much speculation about a possible Nike "Shooting Stars" pack that features the Air Foamposite One and Lil' Penny Posite, we now have official photos from Nike of the two-sneaker collection. The "Shooting Stars" pack embodies the early days of Penny Hardaway's career.

An homage to the Orlando Magic, the Foamposite One is equipped with a white upper with blue accents and star detailing on the eyelets.

The Lil' Penny Posite is a mashup of past Penny Hardaway sneakers and is mostly black with hits of blue accents. The upper sits atop a Lunar midsole and Zoom cushioning, while signature Flight and 1 Cent branding completes the theme nicely.

The "Shooting Stars" pack will be available on May 17 on Nike and at select Nike Sportswear retailers
