LeBron's Autographed Air Max LeBron VIIs

Multiple retailers nationwide may still have a few pairs of the “Cool Grey” Nike Air Max LeBron VII; however, there is only one place that possesses this shoe with LeBron’s John Hancock. Yesterday, LeBron’s Twitter feed read, “2morrow these will be sat out on UCSD (University of California, San Diego) campus for someone to find! Ill send details 2morrow. Good luck guys.”

Furthermore, one of LeBron’s latest Tweets (today) said, “Just stop and drop the shoes off on campus at UCSD. They are by the track and field stadium underneath at sign No Dogs Allowed in this Area. (picture shown below)”.

Although the sign reads, “No Dogs Allowed in This Area”, we wouldn’t be surprised if sneaker heads and LeBron James fans alike show up in this area scratching and clawing for this dinner.

Nike Air Max Skyline Metallic Silver/Royal

Posted: 02 Aug 2010 11:43 AM PDT

Nike Air Max Skyline

This past spring saw Nike revamp its famed Air Max line using two tone colorways in what was the “Air Attack Pack”. The tonal Air Max trend continues on this Metallic Silver/Royal sample of the Nike Air Max Skyline. Metallic Silver mesh and synthetic material make up the upper highlighted by a 3M swoosh. A royal blue midsole meets a black outsole to finish the clean runner. It is still uncertain whether or not this colorway will release and if it’s part of the Air Attack Pack. Is this a shoe you would purchase?

Kevin Garnett Signs to Anta

A couple of months ago, rumors spread pertaining Kevin Garnett possibly leaving adidas for Anta, an up-and-coming Chinese sportswear manufacturer. Three months later, it has now been confirmed. Sources have stated that Kevin Garnett has signed multi-year endorsement contract with the China-based sportswear company.

As he entered the final month of his adidas contract, Garnett spurned offers from brands such as Reebok, Under Armour and Nike to sign with Anta. Although Garnett will officially become the second player in the NBA with an Anta contract (Luis Scola is the first), he will undoubtedly be the face of the company in regards to basketball. CEO of ANTA Sports Products Ding Shizhong said, “Leveraging Kevin Garnett’s worldwide popularity and influence in the sport, and with our extensive basketball resources and nationwide integrated marketing strategy, the joining of Kevin Garnett will no doubt help support the sustainability of the basketball industry in China, enhance our brand image, and bolster our leadership and competitiveness in the basketball market.”

What are your thoughts on Kevin Garnett’s new deal with Anta?
