With the Nike LeBron X quickly approaching, it seems Nike plans to give its predecessor, the Nike LeBron 9 a grand finale with the Nike LeBron IX “What the LeBron”. Basically a combination of previous releases with unique design cues as well, this pair will definitely end the model with style. This is only a teaser pic, but expect to see more on these in the very near future. From Justin Leonard.

Originally thought to drop on Saturday, September 1, there are now rumors that the Bright Crimson Nike Air Foamposite Pro will instead release on that Friday, August 31. I’m still a bit on the skeptical side, but it might be a good idea to start checking with your local stores by August 30 if you plan to obtain a pair. If you’d like to play it safe, there’s already a number of pairs on eBay. Here’s a link to the listings.

We’ve already seen a few upcoming LeBron X colorways, but this is one of the first pairs that we can actually expect to see LBJ wearing on the court. Created to match the Heat uniform, this pair has a black upper with red graphics, finished off with a white outline around the swoosh. Expect to see these in stores along with the first batch of LeBron releases. From Marqueesole.

Check out this out new Nike Air Max 1 release, just recently made available overseas. Constructed of black suede and grey mesh, blue has been used on the tongue and heel logos, as well as on the eyelets. There’s no info on a U.S. release, but you can cop these now at JD Sports.

The popularity wagon for the Nike LeBron X is really beginning to pick up steam, and Nike is wasting no time as it churns out more and more hot colorways. This new design features a mostly metallic upper, matched with black accents. An orange splattered swoosh on the side really sticks out, as well as the orange sole. Black and silver laces add the finishing touches.

Nike has really been showing a lot of love for Dolphins fans lately with team-inspired colorways of the Nike Air Max Speed Turf and upcoming Nike Air Penny V. The Nike Shox Deliver has just joined the Dolphins sneaker lineup with this hot new colorway. Featuring a mostly white upper, orange covers the swoosh and Shox pods, finished off with teal accents. These should go perfectly with your game day outfit. They are available now at Eastbay.
We finally have detailed pics and info on the “ParaNorman” Nike Air Foamposite and how to obtain a pair. Created to promote the ParaNorman film, this pair features a black upper smoked with green and finished with a glow-in-the-dark sole. A number of design cues from the film have been incorporated, such as Norman’s silhouette. Production is limited to 800 pairs, and all will be given away as part of Nike’s “Weird Wins” contest. To enter, all you have to do is post a weird childhood picture of yourself (you know you have one), and Tweet it to “#WEIRDWINS ParaNorman Foamposites”. Here’s a link to the contest page. Good luck!
Futura’s original Nike Dunk High SB FLOM (For love or Money) is one of my favorite Dunks of all time. Unfortunately, only 24 pairs produced, all given to the designer’s friends and family. This makes them incredibly difficult to obtain, even if you can afford the $9,000-$16,000 market price.
Instead of trying to obtain a pair, custom designer El Cappy decided to create his own version, using not a Dunk, but an Air Jordan VI as the base. Just like the FLOM Dunks, this pair features many of the world’s various currencies on the upper, surrounded by black leather. “FL” has been placed on the side. While these may never fetch the prices as the original version, this Air Jordan VI tribute to the sneaker is certainly a masterpiece. You can see some of El Cappy’s other customs here.

Tonight we get some new photos of the upcoming “Galaxy” Nike Zoom Rookie LWP. A continuation of the lineup made popular during the 2012 NBA All-Star weekend, this sneaker also features a Milky-way covered upper matched with black accents. Red tongue and heel tabs add some personality, but the glow-in-the-dark sole guarantees that you’ll break necks even in pitch black. Still no release date for these, but stay tuned for more.
With the Nike LeBron X officially announced by Nike, you should have known that a Miami-based colorway would pop up shortly. Here’s a first (and very detailed) look at the Nike LeBron X “Floridians”, a bit of a follow-up to the LeBron 9 version. Instead of a bright orange upper, this pair uses a more subtle color palette, with black covering the majority of the upper, and hot pink used on the midsole, sock liner, and laces. Orange has been used more strategically, placed only on the outsole, swoosh, and eyelets. An official release date has not been announced, but check back for more info on this beautiful color scheme in the near future. From MS.

Ok, so we all know Nike’s co-founder Phil Knight is filthy rich, but many of you are probably unaware that Knight also owns LAIKA, the company that produced Coraline and the upcoming film ParaNorman. To promote the film, Nike has created this special Nike Air Foamposite One colorway. These are only teaser pics, but you can seen that the sneaker sports a dark green upper with a smoky overlay, black liner and lime green graphics. The “ZZZZs” represents the Norman’s (main character) ability to communicate with the dead. There’s no word yet on when or if these will receive a public release, but stay tuned for more.
Having been a big fan of Iron Man since age 8, seeing this pair of customs really made my day. Created by Mache Customs, this pair takes inspiration from both the man in metal and his company Stark Enterprises. Covered in red and gold, this pair has received a paint job that Iron Man’s armor, right down to the nuts and bolts. Black accents add a little more style, and the Stark Enterprises logo on the heel really helps to add some personality. Mr. Stark would be proud.

If you thought Nike was done with the Kobe 7 Predator Pack, think again. As a grand finale to its deadly animal-based series, they have created the Nike Zoom Kobe VII “Leopard”. Using black as the base, the upper has been covered with a beautiful leopard print. Metallic silver graphics provide a nice contrast, and a white and silver sole does the rest. The Leopard Kobe 7 will officially drop on August 25, 2012. From Air Knight.
