One of the biggest sneaker release months of all-time will be capped off by the NBA All-Star releases (Nike Basketball, Air Foamposite One, etc.), but don’t think the onslaught of sick releases will slow down because the Nike LeBron 9 inspired by nike free 3.0 v5 Ken Griffey Jr. will hit stores just one weekend after the All-Star Weekend. Capitalizing on the Mariners-like colorway of Green Abyss and bright red, Nike Basketball created a new ‘Dunkman’ logo featuring LeBron’s signature mid-air frame with the Swingman halo that was made popular by Ken Griffey Jr.’s sweet swing. The release date is officially on March 2nd, but have popped up for sale a bit in advance, so take a look at these new angles and get these Swingman LeBrons on your feet right now by copping a pair from id4shoes on eBay.

Kobe Bryant was out for blood when he went on that crazy tear against the New Jersey Nets this past Tuesday. The game was tied with just moments left in the game, but Kobe and crew pulled out the W thanks to Black Mamba’s emphatic dunks and late-game scoring. Will he and Lakers be able to stay consistent and reach the Playoffs? It certainly is looking that way, and how sick would it be if Kobe ‘Black Mamba’ Bryant won his sixth ring in the Year of the Snake? Speaking of which, this third release of the Nike Basketball Year of the Snake Pack is still looming, and with a release date in the States coming soon, another look at this upcoming release is worth a look. More angles of the Nike Kobe 8 System ‘Year of the Snake’ below, so take a look and stay tuned to Sneaker News for release updates.
