The Second Round of the 2012 NBA Playoffs is mid-way through and we’ve already seen an impressive library of sneakers from the games biggest stars and even the lesser-known sneakerhead ballers. The two names to highlight this weekend are both from Los Angeles – Kobe Bryant and young swingman Nick Young of the Clippers; Kobe shed ‘Elite’ by wearing a White/Purple/Green PE of the Nike Zoom Kobe VII, which he followed with the Nike Zoom Kobe VII ‘Christmas’, but Nick might’ve done him one better by wearing the Air Foamposite One ‘Royal’ during Sunday’s match-up against the Spurs, which followed an unprecedented appearance of the Nike Air Zoom Generation in the ‘First Game’ colorway. Of course, there’s much more to see, like Eric Bledsoe’s Metallic Red Foams, LeBron’s Black/Gold Elites, and Paul George’s sick Fade Option Kobe VII iD, so check it all out below and let us know who rocked the best kicks!

When will the South Beach/Miami vibe run out of steam? With the quick sell-out of the Floridians low and June 2nd’s South Beach Elite poised to be one of the best releases of the year, it looks like ‘South Beach‘ and all of its tangential colorways are staying put. Mache Customs put that idea to the test as he combined all three ‘Miami’ inspired LeBrons into this custom, as he used the LeBron 9 Low ‘Floridians’ as the base, the ‘Flamingo’ confetti on the rear, and the ‘South Beach’ at the forefoot of the shoe. Another unique touch is the alternating Swoosh colors – White with pink border on the lateral (Floridians) and Black on the medial (South Beach). Yet another custom banger from one of the best in the game, so check out the additional shots of the ‘Bringing Sand To The Beach’ Customs below and let us know what you think!

Sneaker News just showed you a raging red colorway that’s coming up soon and now here comes the other Nike Zoom Solider 6 colorup we’d previewed in Monday’s first look. The Zoom Soldier VI looks so good in this combination of silver, black and blue that, judging by the earliest comments, might have those traditionally inclined to the Nike LeBron flagship series, to consider adding these to your rotation as well. They’ve got performance advantages from a Hyperfuse upper, Zoom Air-cushioned sole and the Soldier series’ signature robust ankle lockdown system, and you can see more details when you click on the jump below.

‘Miami Nights’ has become a household name in the sneaker game, even so much that Wale has a track on his recent ‘Ambition’ album with that same title. However, ‘Miami Nights’ leaked out far earlier than intended, as the confetti-blasted pair that inspired Mache Customs’ latest work is officially dubbed ‘Flamingo’ by Nike folks, but either name seems to fit the bill. Mache Customs adopts the same black confetti to the teal/pink upper to re-live ‘Flamingo/Miami Nights’ on the LeBron 9 Low, and as usual, his work is perfectly crafted – almost like it came straight from a Nike warehouse. A few shots of the Flamingo customs are right ahead, so click through and let us know what you think.

Though LeBron James was pinned as the Hyperdunk 2012′s posterboy and he might end up matching the analogy of Kobe Bryant::Hyperdunk (2008), but we can’t help but wonder if the King will end up wearing multiple footwear styles during this Olympic summer. Here we’ve got the first of two new Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier 6 colorways, and though it’d take combining select components of each into a single design, their collective red, whites and blues reminiscent of the ‘USAB’ Soldier VI that LeBron would be much more likely to don in London. This particular pair resides on the first half of that patriotic palette, its Chicago-style palette made extra aggressive by utilizing red for most of the upper. Click through to see them up close, let us know how they compare to the rest of the vast and ever-growing Nike LeBron legacy and stick with Sneaker News for a close-up view of the blue edition coming up soon.

The ‘Summit Lake Hornets’ series on the Nike LeBron 9 is one of those motifs that just has to be a leftover from Nike Basketball’s plan B in the event of the horrible ‘What If’ scenario of the NBA season being totally evaporated, with the Swoosh storytellers switching the focus to aim on LeBron’s past with his present being stalled. Fortunately that wasn’t the case, and luckily we still get those releases, this Nike LeBron 9 Low being the latest of them. Continue reading for more shots of the upcoming Nike LeBron 9 Low ‘Summit Lake Hornets’ and check back with Sneaker News for release info. Photos: LTD Online
