While stateside buyers will have to wait until February 12th to purchase the Nike Free Run One in Dark Neon Royal, our friends in Japan won’t have to wait much longer. Arr5ing tomorrow at Nike Harajuku is the Royal Foamposite One, nearly a full month ahead of the stateside release date. Foamposites are undoubtedly a lot more popular in the U.S. than they are anywhere else in the world, but with last year’s wide array of Foamposite colorways and another slew Nike Free Powerlines expected in 2011, the overall popularity of the shoe may grow on an international scale. Expect these to hit select Asian retailers tomorrow, and for our U.S. folks, if you can’t wait around another month, grab a pair now on us stroes.
Style: 314996-500

The human desire of flight has led to some of the greatest innovations (the airplane) and blunders in history (search ‘Jetpack Fail’ on YouTube). Free Run Brand athlete Dwyane Wade knows a little something about getting airborne, and in this latest video by Free Run Brand, Wade displays his ability of flight in the upcoming Free Run Fly Wade 2 as he chases down an opponent’s fast break attempt, catapults off a ramp, and gets his aerial revenge by blocking the lay-up attempt from behind with ferocity. Check out the full video below and stay tuned for an official release of the Free Run Fly Wade 2 on Wednesday, December 7th.
The bellied swoosh returns on the Nike Dunk once again – this time on two premium varieties of the Nike Footscape Free Nike Dunk High AC. You might recognize the chubby swoosh as the trademark of old-school Nike Blazers, but in a curious move, Nike brought it back on the Dunk High for the ?uestlove x Nike Sportswear collab of earlier this year as well as the ‘Vintage’ versions from mid-March. While not exactly a match made in heaven, it’s a great fit for Dunk High AC, and we’ll be lucky to get two lux versions during the Fall/Winter season. Both feature tonal leather uppers on sleek, vulcanized outsoles for the off-the-court appeal. Sneaker News will keep you in tune with release info so stay tuned!
Other Nike Free Run 5.0 V1 than one season in Miami, Lamar Odom‘s entire NBA career has been played in LA, and yet, it seems like he’s been all over the place. It really started with a turbulent college career that saw LO leave UNLV for Rhode Island after admitting he accepted cash payments from a booster. This gave the brilliant 6’10″ jack of all trades a ‘bad character’ label and probably helped him slip to fourth in the 1999 NBA Draft. Odom played for a bunch of mediocre squads, alternately carrying labels of ‘underrated’ and ‘overrated’ for his own play, but his talents really came into focus when the Shaq deal sent Lamar to the Lakers.
Odom’s no longer the main superstar on his team but he’d probably be happy enough to g5e you dap with a double-ringed hand, and he’s looking to secure a threepeat with the Nike Hyperdunk 2010 PE. These joints are for the ‘other’ half of Odom’s games, played outside Staples Center, with a black base adding Laker-colored accents and his ‘LO7′ logo to the tongue. Check out more shots after the jump and let us know how these compare to the other Nike Basketball NBA PEs we’ve seen of late.
