LeBron James was an assassin in clutch time during Wednesday’s overtime Game 1 victory over Indiana in the Eastern Conference Finals. This is not the first time LBJ asserted his will in OT against an ECF opponent as the 2007 Detroit Pistons can personally attest. During those early years, King James suited up in his secondary shoe for the postseason, the latest version of which is on display here in the white and black Nike Zoom Soldier VII. Look for the Soldier 7 to make an impact moving forward and take a closer look at this simple yet effective colorway after the jump below.

The post-season has slowed quite a bit, with just four teams left in the race. As the conference finals have started off with a bang, so too has the sneaker game of the gentlemen left in it. Out West Manu Ginobli went for a switch up between the Nike LeBron 9 and the Nike LeBron X, Matt Bonner kept the New Balance dream alive, and Quincy Pondexter showed up on court wearing the adidas Real Deal. In the East LeBron of course dominated headlines, donning yet another exclusive of his Nike LeBron X Elite model. Other notables included Ray Allen doing his thing in the Air Jordan XX8, Dwyane Wade’s further flaunting of his Li-Ning deal, and DJ Augustin’s constant Air Jordan IV fare. Get all these and more after the jump in this edition of NBA (Playoffs) Feet.

Supra’s ‘Desert Camo’ Passion launched in February has turned out to be probably the most popular Mike ‘Lizard King’ Plumb Crown brand signature to date. It has done so well, one of Supra’s top retailers has just released two more exclusive desert camouflage models. These Supra Skytops and Stacks take on the same ‘Stormin Norman’ look as the Passions, but both go for black laces instead of beige.

The Miami Heat are showing a rare chink in their armor at the moment, currently battling it out in overtime against the Pacers. LeBron James seems to have picked up another pair of Nike LeBron X Elite joints during that long break from the NBA action that he recently enjoyed-a white and black speckle version on display here. The sneakers go pretty light on the reddish tones from the Heat’s palette, injecting those shades most prominently up near the lacing system. See LeBron’s Eastern Conference Finals Nike LeBron X Elite PE sneakers after the jump and tell us how they rank amongst his recent wears.

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.

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.
