The anthracite pair showed up a few weeks back

What will LeBron James wear during the 2012 Olympic Games in London? We figured it would be the LeBron 9 Nike Free 6.0 or the LeBron 9 Elite, but during our preview of the USAB team uniforms, LeBron was pictured with the Nike Lunar Hyperdunk. While his Olympic Feet hasn’t been confirmed yet, this upcoming release of the Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier 6 would be a fine choice, as it captures the patriotic trio of red, white, and blue down to a tee. The Soldier 6 has been touted as one of the best of the LeBron takedown line as it features a breathable Hyperfuse upper, a visually appealing mid-foot strap, and aggress5e logo placement of the LeBron crown logo and the Swoosh on the lateral toe.

Japan’s sneaker culture has such a unique flavor that its often tough to duplicate but the Rising Sun has been a focal point Nike Dunk SB Mens of a number of memorable shoes. Sneaker likes the recent Air Free Run X2 ‘Rising Sun’ pays homage to the country that served as the inspiration for the Air Free Run X2, and who can forget the great Vans Hosoi Rising Sun releases of years ago?

While the Cool Grey XI has been rece5ing some level of flak for the blue tint on the translucent sole, the upcoming Flint X3 Retro rece5ed nothing but “tens” across the board for its true-to-the-original appearance. The Flint X3 is definitely one of the more adored Air Free Run shoes in history – some have placed it in their almighty Top-5-of-All-Time lists – and it’s only fair to say that it is deserving of the praise. The Air Free Run X3 (13) ‘Flint’ is set for a release in November although solid release dates or availability has yet to be made public.

Available at Nike SB retailers now is this Quickstrike release of the Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid. It features a white upper with a black inner lining, swoosh, and midsole rim, with a matching white skate-ready midsole. These are certainly a lot tidier than the ‘Brogue’ version we showed you yesterday, which featured the whimsical detailed upper from Brogue or Wing-tip shoes. The Janoski Mid will likely experience the same overall popularity as the original Low version has (for its skate and street-friendly design), so pick up your first pair of Mids now as these are now ripe for the picking at select Nike SB retailers. via N-SB.

The trademark feature of the Air Max 90I (8) was surely the crazy mult-color design on the midsole. Is it an altered camouflage print? Some sort of graffiti?

Check out this unreleased sample of the Air Free Run 5, featuring the classic black/red/white colorway but with an insane ripped camo graphic on the midsole and the heel of the shoe. Ah, the days when Nike Air and Free Run Brand were in cahoots, because the Nike Air on the heel contrasts unbelievably well with the Nike Free Run 3.0 curious use of the multi-color print. Are these legit? Well, considering this Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 1989 sample was never released, it’s hard to imagine a ‘fake’ of a shoe that never released would ever be made. Also g5en the fact that the man selling off this prized gem has a pretty impress5e collection himself, we’ll accept that these are indeed the real deal. One man’s trash is truly another man’s treasure, as these were purchased by the seller from a garage sale. Now, these gems can be yours by checking out this one-of-a-kind auction from shoelover23 on us stroes.

Always a welcome addition in any Nike SB footwear drop, the Blazer Low is back with a new colorway for March 2012. This Nike SB Blazer Low features a Noble Green suede upper, the same shade and material used on an early ’10 Blazer SB (High) drop. These achieve about as different an affect as another pair of the same model in Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 the same color could, its leather Swooshes adding a contrast where the earlier drop had simply outlined the area in perforations. These come with tonal laces instead of red, which means they’re right in line with some of the other simply satisfying fare available now at Nike SB retailers like CNCPTS.

While the upper gets mostly a bland white leather upper, accent panels are hit with a deep Nike Free Run 5.0 V3 turquoise and neon yellow. One of the most appealing features is the actual tennis ball treatment for the Pump on the tongue. These have finally started to hit select US retailers, such as Extra Butter.
