Nike Air Max LeBron VII NFW – Red Carpet – Restock On The Way

Aaron Kr. — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:00:25 +0000

As warmly as most sneakerheads welcomed the Air Max LeBron VII, the biggest buzz surrounding the shoe was perhaps thanks to the Red Carpet NFW edition. People went crazy for this crisp color scheme and classy woven upper, only to find out that the actual release would be extremely limited in quantity. The Red Carpets hit only four stores last Thursday and were sold out before most people even knew they had dropped. Now we bring you the good news that we have not seen the last of these beauties in stores. There will in fact be a restock of the eagerly awaited kicks at select House of Hoops and Foot Locker locations, so if you missed them last week, you should have no excuse when they hit shelves on December 3rd.

Nike Zoom LBJ Ambassador II – Black – Anthracite

Aaron Hope — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:00:28 +0000

It was kinda easy to dismiss the Nike Zoom LBJ Ambassador II since the Swoosh decided that only Asian buyers could cop these in their local sneaker stores. The only way you’d miss these is in the dead of night, cos the mix of black and anthracite commonly known as ‘triple black’ is smooth enough to take another look. The tumbled leather upper should do well for outdoor courts, sustaining their shape and (lack of) colour. We’ll keep you posted with release updates. via NLB

Nike Air Max LeBron VII Phantom – Black – Metallic Gold – Detailed Images

Back in August we gave you a look at the Nike Air Max LeBron VII in the black/metallic gold colorway, also known as “The Phantom.” A few months have passed and we have some great detailed images of these LeBron VII’s. The shoe is predominantly black, but that doesn’t mean these LeBrons don’t have some flare to break up the monotony. There are metallic gold details on the L23 logo button, lace loops and surrounding the Swoosh that pop off the black background very nicely. If you’ve been waiting for a better look at these, check out a ton of crisp detailed images of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII after the jump. Via Kinstor.

Nike Zoom LBJ Ambassador II – Denim – White

Aaron Hope — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:00:00 +0000

Let’s take a close-up look at the LeBron James sneaker Nike doesn’t want you to have. Ok, so that might be a bit harsh, but the Nike Zoom LBJ Ambassador II ORAP is pretty clear in ending with ‘AP’, which signifies an Asia/Pacific-exclusive drop. The geographically-limited release is probably the Swoosh’s attempt to do something special while continuing to grow the game of basketball abroad, because we know that these deep blue denim lowtops would play well to the stateside crowd. And truth be told, resourceful sneakerheads can always get what they need from the ‘bay or forums, so let’s enjoy these photos and you can keep checking Sneaker News for updates. via NLB

LeBron James Logo Contest on Project Bluefoot

Aaron Hope — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:30:54 +0000

If it’s first-come-first-served, go ahead and award the next Project Bluefoot contest to Sneaker News. Upon hearing that LeBron James plans to change his number to ‘6′ in honour of Michael Jordan, we crafted a quick look at what LBJ’s new logo might look like. Adding New York Knicks colours in another hint of things yet to come, we offered a take on the L23 ‘crown’ logo that incorporates his new number. The only challenge is that the use of ‘23′ lets you incorporate the ‘B’ and ‘J’ in LeBron James, whereas the 6 is somewhat limited in this respect. Take a look at ours after the jump, and if it inspires you, you can enter the contest before the November 30th deadline.

If you are one of the many who missed out on scooping up a pair of the eagerly awaited Red Carpet edition of the Air Max LeBron VII, the good news is that there are still some more fresh colorways in the pipeline. Here we have a look at a crisp new version that splits the upper between Black and White in a similar fashion to the Red Carpets. The shoe features smooth White leather around the the toe and lower ankle, with the top half sporting a Black on Black look accented by a White Swoosh and Metallic Gold accents, as well as a healthy dose of Flywire reinforcement. Release information regarding these is still unknown, but stay tuned for more pics and specific details on the drop. Via FatboyKickz.
