The LeBron VI has been one of the line’s most successful models, but it will not be the only strong offering this year from King James and company. Today, we got a look at the upcoming Zoom Soldier III, reportedly the lightest LeBron sneaker so far. If this black/white/red version is any indication, Nike might have a big hit on their hands. A nice combination of materials make up the upper and two wide straps cover the laces, giving the shoe a nice futuristic look.  Add that to the lightweight construction and the LeBron monster jam silhouette logo on the tongue and you’ve got one of the most appealing LeBron shoes yet.  Look for these to drop some time this April. via kiDulty.

Vans’ latest artist collaboration showcases the work of Japanese artist, Usugrow. His dark tattoo-inspired line art style proves to be a good match for the three Vans shoes that make up this collection. The Half-Cab, AV Low and Sk8-Hi will all be released in Usugrow’s trademark black and white color scheme and feature elements of his artwork. The AV Low and Sk8-Hi feature black stitched graphics on black uppers with contrasting white midsoles, but the Half-Cab edition has some more noticable touches. The black leather Half-Cab has a cool skull with crossed swords on the heel and some of Usugrow’s lettering style carved into the side of the midsole. Look for this collection to drop some time in March. via Hypebeast.

Nike SB looks to be releasing a new Dunk Mid Premium in a colorway similar to that of one of the classic Nike SB Dunk High’s from the earlier seasons of Nike SB, the “Sea Crystal” Dunk, here is a new Dunk Mid that uses that same Ice Green colorway in a suede on the shoe’s upper along with an identical Black Swoosh, White midsole, and Black Outsole. We don’t have any details as when we can expect a release but our best guess is that they will be released during the Summer months of this year. via 8420Sneaker

Many would argue that Lebron James first burst onto the national scene as a High School basketball player playing at Saint Vincent Saint Mary High School in Ohio and Lebron so it’s easy to see why one of the best basketball players in the NBA would want to pay homage to the place where it all started for him. Not only has Lebron embraced his alma mater but he along with Nike have been one of the team’s sponsors for a number of years now. With that sponsorhip comes special Nike Lebron product such as Player Exclusive shoes. This year with the release of the Nike Zoom Lebron VI, Nike decided to create and produce a special colorway for the Irish, the team name of Saint Vincent Saint Mary, in White, Varsity Green, and Gold. Like many special Lebron PE’s these may never come out and if they do expect them to be limited to select retailers such as the House of Hoops. via LRJ23.com

Since alot of the passion driving the sneakerhead subculture stems from nostalgia, it makes sense that combinations like the A Tribe Called Quest-inspired Air Jordan Is tend to be polarizing.  Here’s another take on the Air Jordan I, this time referencing a film from hip-hop’s golden age rather than a musical group.  The Air Jordan I Do the Right Thing Pack bears the signaure visual style of the 1989 Spike Lee film and that period’s streetwear in general.

We get two white pairs in the popular hightop silhouette.  Both feature a single contrast colour, including a metallic Swoosh and ankle: one with red notes and the other with green.  Throw in patterned linings that mimic the texturized letters featured on a similarly-themed t-shirt and the whole set is hard to ignore.  These are set to drop in July, both for $105.  Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more pics and info as the release approaches.  Via NT

While Dwight Howard might be the NBA’s “Superman”, Lebron James is also a fan of the comic book hero as we’ve seen colorways of Nike’s Lebron signature series of shoes inspired by the colors of Superman’s costume. This year the Cleveland Cavaliers wore one of their alternate Hardwood Classics uniforms and it just so happend that the uniform was also the same colorway of Superman’s costume, hence the reason we are calling this Nike Zoom Lebron VI the Hardwood Classics Alternate/Superman PE. Here is a closer look at the shoe that features not only a really dope colorway but also some special materials such as 3M lining on the shoe’s upper. We are hearing rumblings that these will be released as a House of Hoops exclusive in the upcoming months. via Hattrick // ISS

As many of you Nike Basketball and Lebron James fans know, Christ the King High School, is one of the few high schools in America that is not only sponsored by Nike but specifically Lebron James and his collection. Every year they are one of the schools that Nike will create a special Nike Lebron James signature shoe Player Exclusive (PE) colorway for. This year the Nike Zoom Lebron VI has seen more colorways and exclusives than in any other year and so it should come as no surprise that the folks over at Nike Basketball didn’t forget about Christ the King HS, so here is a closer look at the Nike Zoom Lebron VI Christ the King PE. The CTS school colors are accented against a smooth White leather. If these are released expect it to be limited and only at select Nike Basketball locations such as the House of Hoops around the US. via LRJ23.com
