Posted: 21 Aug 2009 10:24 AM PDT

Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III

Thankfully, we did not WITNESS a plethora of Zoom LeBron Soldier III colorways as opposed to the numerous Zoom LeBron VI styles. However, a Zoom LeBron Soldier III player exclusive revealed itself at LeBron James’s King City Classic in Akron, Ohio last month. We now have a close-up photo of this unique, multi-colored PE.

Obviously, this particular shoe was given to the members who played in James’s Skills Academy. The color makeup is comprised of black/varsity red-gold while owning sections of white on the midsole. As for the texture, this sneaker contains leather in the midfoot section that is surrounded by a patent leather strip. At this time, there is no word on whether or not this Soldier III will release, however, would you purchase it if it dropped?

Nike Blue Chip II “Think Pink” Lisa Leslie PE

Posted: 21 Aug 2009 09:57 AM PDT

Nike Blue Chip II

Although other Nike basketball shoes such as the Hyperize and the Hypermax seem to be receiving the most attention, other basketball sneakers are beginning to make their presence felt. With that said, many people have been awaiting clearer photos of the Nike Blue Chip II.

This particular Blue Chip II was made specifically for Lisa Leslie in honor of the yearly “Think Pink” campaign. If you recall, Nike paid tribute to the aforementioned campaign last year in the form of the Nike Hyperdunk “Think Pink”. Lisa Leslie’s Blue Chip II obviously owns a predominately purple/yellow colorway seeing that she is still a member of the Los Angeles Sparks; however, pink accents are noticeable on the border of the swoosh, the collar and on the Kay Yow Cancer Fund logo which is located on the heel panel. Click here to view additional photos. What are your thoughts on this sneaker?
