Geared towards the Asian market due to the lack of indoor gym availability, the Nike Air Max Ambassador IV is a shoe that is able to handle any outdoor-court adversity without losing a step in performance. Sneaker News recently gave you a look at detailed images of the White/Red-Black colorway of the Nike Air Max Ambassador IV as well as some other interesting upcoming varieties, but here we have the ‘Blackout’ colorway – a staple in the Nike LeBron line. LeBron James is undoubtedly an ambassador for the game of basketball, and he certainly acted as one during his trip to China where the Ambassador IV was first spotted. Despite the tonal black motif, the Ambassador IV ‘Blackout’ possesses a unique contrasting visual on the textured toe as well as the fierce lion logo on the heel. Check out the additional angles of the ‘Blackout’ Ambassador IV and let us know what you think. via Kenlu.

John Wall shocked the world by signing with Reebok for a tune of $25 million over a five year period and would soon get his own signature shoe, the Reebok Zig Tech Slash. The Reebok Zig Encore is Wall’s second signature shoe and assuming that the lockout will be over by the start of the 2011-12 season, he’ll be wearing them throughout the year. This colorway of the Reebok Zig Encore pays homage to the Wizards’ point guard’s alma mater, the University of Kentucky. The school’s colors of white and blue can be found throughout the shoe along with Wall’s #11 that he wore in his first and only year with the program.

The 2011 FIBA Americas basketball tournament is in a few weeks and thankfully for USA Basketball, the men’s team won the gold medal during the 2010 FIBA World Championships. Had they not, USA Basketball would have had to resort to utilizing NBDL or college basketball players due to the fact that during the current NBA lockout, no active NBA player can participate in the tourney, much like the “Dirty Dozen” team of 1998 that came in third place. We would probably see a few members of the U.S. team wear this Air Jordan 2011 Q-Flight, which is scheduled to release sometime in September. Continue reading for additional shots of this USA themed Air Jordan 2011 Q-Flight and let us know what you think because they’ve already appeared at overseas retailers.. via SoleMovement.
