LeBron James’ stock just went up a buncha points a few nights ago, so does that mean a channel from Asia to the U.S. containing Asia-Exclusive LeBron shoes will open up? Take a look at the LeBron Ambassador V Point 5 – a slightly altered version of the Ambassador V that uses a ‘lifestyle’ base with the stitched Air Force 1-like midsole and clean upper (kinda like Kobe’s Zoom KB 24); this type of Summer-specific shoe would be a major hit in the U.S. Toss them in with your summer luggage and you’re good to go, and more images follow the jump below.

The past six weeks have been chock full of Nike Air Footscape Woven goodness, as the ‘Rainbow Pack’ released, a subtle new leopard edition popped up in Japan as did an upcoming collaboration with atmos. We also saw two of the ‘Wool Pack’ releases up close and personal, and though the above pictured pair was conspicuously absent, its release more than makes up for any absence.
The third in Jordan Brand‘s trifecta of signature unveilings today comes from a guy whose consistent uniform number has ’3′ as a part of his nickname. ?The Jordan CP3.V keeps with Chris Paul‘s move to lower-cut designs in the wake of the historically impactful Nike Zoom Kobe IV, and just like Kobe Bryant’s recent sigs, these feature a Flywire-reinforced upper. We’re on the precipice of the arrival of the long awaited Air Jordan X ‘Chicago’ retro release, but before that 1995 original makes its triumphant return, we’ll get our hands on a new colorway from the new-for-2012 update. The Jordan X Autoclave pairs the Ten’s sleek lines with the kind of vulc sole we’ve seen on the Grown series, but adds a novel twist by utilizing a two-toned sidewall to enhance the aggressive ‘bred’ colorup. This new Anthracite/Varsity Red colorway, which comes adorned with the Air Jordan IV-specific speckled outsole, will hit stores this November, so check out the images of this new colorway below and let us know what you think. via washinsp..
The Nike Air Pegasus 30+ is a sneaker that has, fittingly, been getting dressed up in collab makeups with actual running suppliers rather than the typical group of influencers and boutiques. Following up on the Road Runner Sports SMU are these USATF (That’s USA Track and Field for the less athletically inclined among you) pairs, each of them going with a patriotic palette. On the other side, Rudy Gay of the Memphis Grizzles brought back the Air Max Tempo in White/Navy. The other LA squad advanced to the second round as well, led by Kobe Bryant who wore the ‘Lakers’ colorway of the Zoom Kobe VII ‘Dart Frog’. One of the few Nike Sportswear models to have eluded the Hyperfuse revolution this year was the Nike Air Max 95. Come to think of it, this model didn’t get the VT treatment either, with the only significant material flip being the forthcoming No-Sew version on its way for 2012.
