Nike Air Max Lebron VII University of Kentucky PE


When pictures of the Nike Air Max Lebron VII “Christ the King” PE hit the ‘net, many sneakerheads were once again blown away by the execution of yet another LBJ VII. But there is one popular colorway that had not been executed on this phenomenal basketball sneaker- until now. And those of you who are fans of the royal blue Nike Air Foamposite One should take a liking to what you see here. We have come across pictures of the University of Kentucky Player Exclusive Nike Air Max Lebron VII, in an appropriate varsity royal/black-white colorway. The upper appears covered in black nubuck, while it leads down to a patent leather varsity royal midsole and toe box area. And as for the the flywire panels- they include a white Nike swoosh outlined in blue. Is THIS now the best LBJ VII yet?!




Nike Dunk High Black/Club Purple-Ultralime


They say that if it isn’t broke, don’t try to fix it. Therefore, Nike seems to hope it can continue riding the Los Angeles Lakers wave of popularity. We recently showed you the latest Nike Dunk to release in a colorway that at least borrows from the Los Angeles Lakers’ team colors. Now the brand brings you another purple pair. Pictured here is a Nike Dunk high that sports a predominantly black leather upper and purple patent leather Nike swoosh. However, this pair is sure to grab your attention for the slight touches of ultralime color that can be seen most evidently on the shoe laces, but also on the ankle lining. Lastly, this sneaker includes purple stitching around the midsole and sits on a bubble gum bottom. This Nike Dunk high can be found now at select Nike retailers.

Air Jordan 2010 “W3lcome Home” – New Pictures


Earlier this week we showed you the Air Jordan 2010 “W3lcome Home,” in a rather fitting and simple white/red color-up that would certainly match with any Miami Heat jersey you might catch Dwyane Wade balling in. Now we’d like to bring to your attention this set of new pictures that has surfaced online and also provides a further look into this colorway- including a look at the heel and at the entire silhouette from an aerial view. Let us know how you think this colorway works on the Air Jordan 2010, and whether or not it harms, helps, or leaves your opinion of the newest signature Air Jordan sneaker unchanged.

Nike Big Nike High (GS) “Paint Drip” Available Now


For so many sneakerheads, whatever a company decides to do on the sole of a particular shoe can very well make or break it. For example, the Air Jordan XI is revered almost as much, if not AS much, for the patent leather as the icy sole. However, that is not to say that other cool ideas can’t be implemented in such an important part of the shoe. To that extent, we would like to show you the “Paint Drip” Nike Big Nike high, which obviously gets its nickname from what looks to be spilled paint that is dripping down the entire sole until hitting the dark outsole. Meanwhile, the sneaker’s upper comes in a mix of different shades of grey as well as different materials. These are availble now through the online FinishLine store- but only in grade school sizes, unfortunately for some.

Air Jordan 2010 “W3lcome Home”



Air Jordan 2010 “W3lcome Home”
Dwyane Wade grew up watching Michael Jordan in Chicago. When he transferred to the Jordan Brand this past off-season, there was more than just the marketing move. It symbolized an NBA superstar “coming home” to his roots. While we wait until this off-season to find out if Wade actually “comes home” to the Bulls, we still have the new Air Jordan 2010 to pay tribute to Wade’s Chicago roots. “W3lcome Home” appears on the insoles and lends itself to the shoe’s nickname. Red leather is on the toe and heel areas, with patent adding some extra shine. The mid-panel that holds the controversial window has been done with white perforated leather. A black midsole matches the liner, while a red outsole finishes off the colorway. Short size are already available at marqueesole.
