These would actually make a nice public release.
While this year’s NBA season may or may not happen this year, Nike is pushing forward with the LeBron 9. Using a similar but higher profile cut compared to the LeBron 8s, the 9s have been updated with the latest technology. Nike decided to stick with Air Max for the sole, using a 180-degree Max Air unit, paired with a carbon fiber plate at the midfoot. The upper has received Nike’s lightweight woven material, greatly increasing breathe ability, while Flywire ensure’s structural stability. Keep checking back, This black/red-white colorway is the first of many to come.

These days, music artists are always getting signature sneakers, so who would be more deserving of his own pair than Michael Jackson? Well, there’s still no signature sneaker for MJ, but Nike did create this beautiful pair of Dunks, inspired by the King of Pop. Using croc skin, this sneaker has received an entirely black upper. A white and black sole has been mated to match. On the back it reads “MICHAEL JACKSON”, stitched in gold. Maybe one day, these will see a public release. From VMV.
If you just can’t wait any longer to get your hands on a pair of the White/Black-Dark Concord XIs, Air-RandyHK has come to the rescue, carrying a full-stock run for only $234.99.

The sneakers in his pics appear to be perfect and packaged with all items, but remember, when doing business with any seller, be sure to ask lots of questions before making a final decision.

Here’s a look at yet another Dunk Low SB colorway, scheduled to hit stores next fall. Called “Gold Dust”, this pair lives up to its name with a gold dust yellow upper, made entirely of canvas. A black swoosh and matching stitches add a little more color, but the red sock liner really gives the sneaker personality. The Gold Dust Dunk Low SB is scheduled to release in September.
Wow, at least at one point, Jordan Brand must have liked Jared Jeffries almost as much as Ray Allen. We’ve seen three of his player exclusives in the past, and here’s yet another, this time the Air Jordan 2 Lows, created during his time with the New York Knicks. They have the usual white upper seen on the II Lows, but with blue and orange accents to match the Knicks home uniform. Also, his number has been stitched on the side. Not exactly the most practical sneaker for playing basketball in these nowadays, but they are pretty cool. Does anyone know if Jared Jeffries actually played in the Air Jordan II Lows? If so hit me up, any info and or pics would be greatly appreciated. If you’d like to own this pair, they are available now on eBay. Here’s a link to the auction.
