Nike LeBron 8

 

LEBRON SHOE'S

On this one-of-a-kind court shoe, the traditional Swoosh is revamped, pushed toward the heel in a unique loop design to symbolize LeBron’s speed. On the tongue, a detailed lion graphic represents his ravenous, hunter-like nature, and a signature label takes inspiration from his off-court attire. To create zonal support, Nike designers put a plastic frame around the Flywire-which is made of super-strong, ultra-lightweight nylon fibers in the upper part of the shoe-for lightweight lockdown only where you need it. They also left extra space between the collar and heel, allowing more room to flex the Achilles during intense man-to-man matchups. This hoops shoe radiates style with its luxurious, supple and all-natural leather, classically crafted and molded to resemble the shell of a dress shoe. An alternating lace formation not only looks good on the court but also enhances the fit, with the top eyelet in a dual-pull design shaped like an eight. The LeBron 8 is built on a basketball-specific Max Air 360 unit, offering maximum protection and cushioning during quick cuts and jumps. A comfortable Phylon midsole works with the Max Air cushioning to help provide a softer footstrike and smoother ride to the hoop.

ADIDAS ADIZERO ROSE

Introducing the adidas adiZero Rose. Weighing in at 12.8 ounces, it’s the lightest signature basketball shoe adidas has ever created, and features a mix of textiles and synthetics that help reduce weight and increase stability during cutting movements. Also one cool thing to note is that adidas’ iconic three stripes are on the back of the shoe instead of the side, that way defenders can see them after he’s speeding by them on the court.

“The adiZero Rose is light – the lightest basketball shoe I’ve ever worn and it’s very flexible and reliable on the court to help me run faster and cut quicker,” says Rose. “I never thought growing up on the South Side of Chicago that I would have my own signature shoe, so I’m really proud and I know my family and the city are going to be really proud too. It’s a clean cut fashion shoe so you put some jeans over it and you can look good off the court.”Skate shoes

NIKE ZOOM Kobe V,

How low can you go? Eric Avar was put in limbo when Kobe Bryant asked him to top the infamous Nike Zoom Kobe IV by…well, taking more off the top. After long nights in the Innovative Kitchen, Avar and the good folks at Nike developed a slimmer, sleeker, and shorter sequel to the Kobe IV, the Nike Zoom Kobe V. Carrying over the three technological staples of the Kobe IV (Lunar Foam, Flywire, and Zoom Air), theKobe V catapults off the success of its predecessor dropping jaws with its funky material choices and eye-popping colorways. The Kobe V also drops the scales weighing in at 10.6 ounces, 1.4 ounces lighter than its air light senior traction, and support.

Adidas TS Bounce Commander “Superman”

If you watched the 2009 NBA Slam Dunk contest, you undoubtedly saw Superman AKA Dwight Howard putting on a show. To help out Superman, Adidas worked up a few different shoes for Howard to wear during the contest. Dwight chose to wear this pair of glossy Adidas TS Bounce Commanders.

As you could expect from a pair of kicks inspired by Superman, the color scheme of these sneakers revolves around red and blue. To further enhance the connection between these shoes and Dwight Howard these shoes have Howard’s number 12 on the side. Via Hypebeast.

CONVERSE WADE SHOE COLLECTION

 CONVERSE WADE 4

Dwyane Wade seemed like a new man over there in Beijing. There were times when I was watching him catch alley-oops and windmill them for no reason that I thought, “Dude looks like he is jumping higher!”

Whether or not you’re a Wade fan, you have to be impressed with how he has recovered from his past injuries. It seems that next season Flash is going to have his way with defenders…and he’ll be doing it in style.

If you haven’t seen the Wade 4 yet, here it is in a special colorway. The Wade 4 takes inspiration from what Dwyane finds most important and monumental in his life. His sons, Zion and Zaire, have their names are written on the tongue, as well as the date the Miami Heat won the 2006 NBA Championship.

I haven’t had a chance to see these in a 13, let alone play in them. But if the shoe is lightweight, I might consider rocking these this fall for my on-court shoe. Solid pick Inspired by the Miami Heat colorway, these sneakers feature a black and red speckle-patterned midsole. The upper is made of synthetic leather and mesh providing the wearer with lightweight breathability.

On another note, we must thank Dwayne Wade for taking over the game in 2008 Gold Medal Championship this past Summer. With Kobe Bryant and Lebron James getting into early foul trouble, ‘Flash’ stepped up and led the way with 27 points. Without him, the ‘Redeem Team’ would have probably had to wait till 2012 for redemption. Hopefully, he can carry that superb play over to this season and get some much-needed help from Beasley.
