Sneaker Showdown: 112 Nike LeBrons by DJ Clark Kent

Posted: 15 Aug 2011 12:43 PM PDT

Sneaker Showdown: "112 by DJ Clark Kent" LeBrons

No, this isn't a showdown between 112 Clark Kent-designed LeBrons. Instead, this battle sees the two most recent editions to the "112" collection going head to head. Last year, the legendary DJ, producer and Nike collaborator pieced together a very small run of Air Max LeBron VIIs for his friends and family. More recently, it's the LeBron 8 that's covered in the requisite nubuck, 3M, Volt and Elephant Print. Will this one do as its predecessor didn't and land in stores? Does the 8 out-112 the VII? Vote in the poll at the bottom of the page.

Each pair also possesses a patent leather toe cap and  leather/suede uppers.
