The combination of workboots and jeans has been a staple in All-American fashion for decades, and with James Dean, one of the must rugged yet refined patriots in pop culture, serving as the inspiration, DJ Clark Kent went with the denim and gum outsole to preserve the classic fashion mainstay on the contemporary Nike LeBron 8. This particular colorway of the LeBron 8 is just one of many un-released PEs and samples that have come out of the factory, but somehow, they end up in the rights hands and become available for purchase.

Yo dawg, we heard you like sneaker lists, so we put sneaker lists inside a sneaker list to create a sneaker list of sneaker lists.

DJ Clark Kent, Ronnie Fieg, Frank The Butcher, Matt Halfhill, Joe La Puma, and Russ Bengtson all dropped their respective two cents for this feature, so check out all the lists below and let us know which of the six you relate with the most!

MMG representative Wale recently performed live at the Best Buy theater in New York City to help celebrate the One Year Anniversary of The Power 105.1 ‘Breakfast Club’. Wale, who has displayed quite the affinity for Nike LeBrons (PEs, for that matter), stunned the crowd by rocking the Nike LeBron 8 ‘James Dean’, or better known as the ‘Denim’ sample that surfaced some time ago. The James Dean-inspired samples were actually designed by fellow Nike LeBron aficionado DJ Clark Kent, who not only boasts quite the LeBron collection himself, but gets to color-coordinate a few pairs himself. Check out Wale and his LeBron after the jump and let us know what your favorite ‘unreleased’ Nike LeBron is. via alleyesonwho.

Halfway around the globe, New York City-based cultural influencers DJ Clark Kent and photographer Jonathon Mannion, who were in town for Mannion’s photo retrospective at Stussy Japan, stopped by Nike Harajuku for some overseas Nike iD sessions. As expected, DJ Clark Kent selected the Nike Air Force 1 Low, while Mannion went on the experimental offensive and selected the Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse – one of Nike iD’s most recent inclusions. Another item to note is the apparel worn by the guests of honor; Clark rocked a throwback Nolan Ryan Astros jersey, while Mannion proudly wore the Stussy x Lafayette t-shirt that was made specifically for the gallery event.

The only way the non-VIP public can get their hands on a pair of unreleased, Friends-and-Family LeBron PEs is if one of the original recipients inexplicably decides to let them go. We all know the Nike LeBron (particularly the Air Max-cushioned VII and current eighth model) were made a ton of ‘special edition’ colorways, like DJ Clark Kent’s ‘looks good on everything’ 112 motif. The luscious mix of black/grey tones with the piercing volt and the historic elephant print gives any shoe a proper facelift, but the unfortunate nature of these kicks is that these never did become available for purchase. That is, until now, when one lucky owner made the decision to pass on his prized possession to one sneakerhead willing to part ways with a fat wad of cash. The current bidding price eclipses even the unbelievable average selling price of the LeBron 8 ‘South Beach’ (but does look paltry compared to the tens of thousands of dollars that someone put on this Nike Mag 2011 shoe, but if you’re interested nonetheless, check out the auction from sellbuysellnow on eBay.

Though not exactly an ‘original’ colorway, DJ Clark Kent‘s ’112′ motif was brought to life when he was given the great opportunity to colorize a ‘Ones’ Pack, which featured the Air Force 1, Air Max 1, and Air Trainer 1 in a mind-boggling colorway of Grey/Neon with bountiful portions of elephant print and 3M reflective material. It’s one of those dream colorways that sneakerheads can only wish for, but Clark, a sneakerhead himself, made one for the people and created an instant classic. The LeBron 8′s been one of Clark’s favorites (at least he’s showing them off the most), and his Nike LeBron 8 ’112′ made some noteworthy headlines here on Sneaker News when it was first broadcast earlier this week. Now we know that Queens-native BMX-rider Nigel Sylvester owns a pair, because Clark himself gave him his own last night during Sylvester’s G-Shock party. Check out the extra shot of this sick new colorway below and let us know if this is the best ’112′ sneaker to date. via NT.
