Brendan Dunne — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:00:34 +0000

LeBron James is a man that’s no stronger to soaring through the atmosphere-usually right before crashing down on a hoop, basketball in hand. Putting his sneakers up in the air is this new pair from District Customs, the Nike LeBron 9 Low “Horizon”. The shoes get a cloudy print across their upper, one that sweeps in and out of a bunch of different colors between the left and the right. Check out the Nike LeBron 9 Low “Horizon”, a project that started out as the “Easter” colorway, right after the jump and keep it locked on Sneaker News for more compelling customs on the daily.

Nike Air Yeezy 2 Bronze Sculpture

Forget about the red Nike Air Yeezy 2, if you’re a real Kanye fan you’ve gotta get your hands on the bronze version of the shoe. That’s right, the latest bit of Yeezy art is this, a 7.5 x 12 x 4 inch recreation of the immaculate rapper sneaker that has been such a hot topic this week due to Kanye’s all-red appearance during the season finale of Saturday Night Live. This version, of course, isn’t wearable at any degree, but it makes for a sweet conversational piece or a stylish paper weight. This patinated bronze sculpture seems to be signed by the sculptor himself, so check out the cool video with “Gold Digger” playing the background and inquire about a purchase directly from the from1secret gallery.

Brendan Dunne — Wed, 22 May 2013 23:30:19 +0000

The Nike Air Trainer SC II High is getting a series of NFL inspired colorways. Interestingly enough, the teams paid tribute to across the trio don’t really have anything to do with Bo Jackson. That detail suggests that they might be part of a wider pack, one that will eventually touch on every team in the NFL in the same manner as last year’s extended NFL Pack of releases. Check out the Nike Air Trainer SC II High “Dolphins”, “Vikings”, and “Jaguars” joints after the jump and keep in mind that you can pick up all three now from 95soleman on eBay.

Nike LeBron X EXT QS – Euro Release Dates

John K. — Wed, 22 May 2013 23:00:06 +0000

A little bit of light is finally shed on the release dates for the Nike LeBron X EXT pairs coming this summer. You know, the Nike LeBron X “Black/Mint”, the Nike LeBron X “Denim”, and the Nike LeBron X “Brown Suede”. After some switched around release information, it appears that we’ve finally pinned down when the sneakers will be arriving at European shops (All of which are subject to change as usual). The black/mint will be first up with its June 10th drop, followed by the denim on June 22nd, and the brown suede on July 6th. Most of those make sense except for the June 10th, which is a Monday-so we wouldn’t be surprised if that pair showed up the previous/following Saturday. Continue reading for another look at each and keep in mind that the US dates have so far lined up with those abroad on pairs like these. Also, if you don’t feel like waiting then grab check out each of them available now from ronimo1989 on eBay.

Nike LeBron XI NSW Lifestyle

Brendan Dunne — Wed, 22 May 2013 22:30:23 +0000

It seems as if the LeBron’s next shoe is also planning a bit of a lifestyle takedown. Shown here is what appears to be the Nike LeBron XI NSW Lifestyle, a sneaker that riffs off the overall shape of the Nike LeBron XI while totally switching out the materials. Instead of that bulky Armorposite plating there’s a clean mixture of brown leather wrapping the upper. It took a long time into the lifespan of the current Bron sig for us to ever see the lifestyle alternate, so a sample popping up this early for the eleventh is indeed a bit strange. The first sight of the shoe comes serendipitously on the same day that Darrin Crascenzi, designer of the LeBron crown logo, was named to Fast Company’s list of Most Creative People. Check out the Nike LeBron XI NSW Lifestyle after the jump and stay tuned to Sneaker News for updated info as soon as it’s available.
