Other notable guests at event included P. Diddy, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Busta Rhymes, DJ Khaled, Clive Davis, and more. 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”. Some say twenty-two is the first of a series of meaningless birthdays that mark the slow journey to your grave, but don’t tell that to the?Nike Air Max 90?in 2012. We’re coming up on the wide release of the ‘Infrared’ Hyperfuse update and between that upgraded construction and a variety of otherwise outstanding styles this year, the AM90 demonstrates what we mean by calling a sneaker design ‘timeless’. The Jordan Melo M8 marks Carmelo Anthony’s eighth signature sneaker with Jordan Brand and the first as a New York Knick; in fact, the Melo M8 is the first notable signature sneaker for ANY New York Knickerbocker since Ewing’s dropped two decades ago (sorry, Starbury’s don’t count). These two upcoming Knick-inspired ‘Home’ and ‘Away’ colorway are now officially part of the Jordan Melo M8 line-up when the shoe releases on October 6th at retailers like Foot Locker.
Japanese fashion label Comme des Garcons has more collaborations with Converse and Supreme x Vans coming up, and here’s a new one from Off the Wall sneaking in under the radar. ?The Comme des Garcons x Vans Era leaves out the red box influence and sticks with a subtle chambray upper, an effortless summer style that’s both trendy and timeless. In 2007, Nike Skateboarding introduced the multi-Dunk mosaic concept to the ‘What The Dunk’, which featured bits and pieces of the greatest Nike SB Dunk Low releases of all time. The What The Kobe? adopts the same idea, keeping the design limited to VII options, but clearly there was plenty to go around; Leopard, Dart Frog, Cheetah, Mamba – you name it, it’s on there. Jordan Brand’s performance basketball nomenclature is currently centered around ‘prime’ and ‘flight’ themes, and here’s the latest example. ?The Jordan Prime Flight is up there with the Melo M9 in terms of JB’s most expressive uses of?Dynamic Flywire?to date, this first ‘Joker’-ish style showing off the sleek lines of a model that seems to be a modernized take on the design language of Air Jordans IX-XI.
The professionals might be arguing over their proceeds like a bunch of kids, but that won’t stop young people from preparing for the pros this winter. ?High school and college basketball are positioned to gain new followers if the NBA labor situation can’t be handled promptly, and wherever there are schools suiting up teams to go to battle on the hardwood, you’ll see the?Nike Zoom Kobe VI?in?Team Bank colorways. The year of the Air Jordan V continues with this lady-specific colorway of the Air Jordan V. The “Cement Grey” color should draw you in immediately, but unfortunately for the dudes looking for their AJV fix, you’ll have to wait until the Fire Red V drops later this month because these employ a gender-limited mixof Pink Flash and Rasberry Red. Continue reading for a full set of angles on the shoes and watch for the aforementioned account to release them tomorrow 8/2/13 at 11:00AM. Or if you won’t make it to the in-store, you can see what’s available now on eBay..
