If you caught the Sneaker News Exclusive Interview with LeBron 8 V1/V2 designer Jason Petrie, you’d know that LeBron James plays an integral role in the development of his own shoe. Speaking on colorways, LeBron has a big say on what makes it out there and what doesn’t, and for the LeBron 8 V2, we’ll get the opportunity to own a pair of shoes inspired by his favorite TV show Entourage. We’d just seen Sean’s leopard print Superstar shelltoes last week, and the promo video for this new selection of songs shows that there’s a snakeskin adidas Originals Superstar High on the way as well. Click through for a sampling of both the tunes and the shoes and stick with Sneaker News for updates on all the upcoming Big Sean x adidas Originals projects.. Mizzee Customs has made a name for himself here at Sneaker News with his outstanding custom jobs like the Air Tech Challenge and Pigeon-inspired pair of Air Max 90s. In his latest work, Mizzee pays tribute to calligraphic artist Jose Parla best known for his graffiti-style motif by creating a Nike Dunk High with custom graphics mimicking Parla’s signature work.
Is the ghost of the Air Jordan lingering on with Dwyane Wade and his plans with Li-Ning? This latest colorway of the Li-Ning Way of Wade draws cues from some of the most popular Air Jordans of all-time, with speckle print on the midsole reminding us of the Air Jordan IV ‘White/Cement’. In addition, the Black/Red/Grey colorway is similar to the Air Jordan III ‘Black/Cement’ and Air Jordan IV ‘Bred’. Jordan Brand’s August plans continue to come into full shape, with at least one all new silhouette making its way into the exciting mix of retros. That silhouette is the Jordan Aero Flight, one that should arrive in the exciting ‘WWF Pack’ later on, but for now it’s making a respectable name for itself in a set of more streamlined team-based colors. Dwight Howard’s ‘Superman’ alter ego takes form in the adidas TS Beast, Howard’s newest signature shoe with adidas. The upper features a mix of white and soft carolina blue with Superman insignia on the tongue as well as the bottom translucent sole.
?This color combo always makes us think back to the Air Jordan legacy, and with the Air Jordan IV having also debuted in 1989 with a similar palette, we can’t help but wondering if NB will ever retro the 1500′s basketball hightop counterpart. ?If it would look as good in new colorups as this twentysomething runner, we’d welcome it, just like these pairs when they deliver on pre-orders later this month from Hanon.. The Nike Sportswear branded treat that is the Nike Free Inneva Woven is coming back in 2013, and it looks like it will even be doing so in some solidly blocked versions as per the original black that dropped last year. Shown here is the first of that bunch, a punchy photo blue look that wipes off the speckled sole from said OG. Tonal Dark Grey on the upper is matched with a deep Obsidian blue on the tongue and some other details around the shoe, but take note of the faux-leather interior lining. Pay attention, Yankee fans, because these are perfect for you! Additional angles await you right ahead so check ‘em out and head over to UK’s JDSports to get your own..
