Nike Air Max LeBron VII “Red Carpet” Detailed Look

Posted: 01 Nov 2009 09:58 AM PST

Nike Air Max LeBron VIIFeast your eyes upon these photos of the Nike Air Max Lebron VII Red Carpet. The Red Carpet name is apt for this make-up as it is, so far, the most flamboyant colorway of the LeBron VII. On the same note, this version is a better fit for the streets than the court because the typical flywire has been replaced with a heavier but neck-breaking nylon weave. The teal accenting on the shoe can’t go unnoticed. Props to Nike for going as far as lending a teal tint to the full-length air unit. There is also subtle red-orange accenting on the shoe that is highlighted if the black laces are substituted for the alternate red-orange laces.

Aside from the Red Carpet’s unique characteristics, these detailed images also offer a close look at the intricate design facets of all LeBron VIIs. On the heel just above the air unit are and “L” and “J” imprinted in script on the left and right shoe respectively. These imprints mimic the tattoos on LeBron’s left and right triceps. On the laces, in place of dubres, are attached plastic slivers reading “LeBron” and “James.” These keep the laces fresh while providing a lighter alternative to heavier metal dubres. Within the collar are cushy Achilles cradles. As many of you know, these are a welcomed aid to ankle comfort and support.

So, while you ravenously await and salivate, stash away a stack so you can cop these when they drop in November. Hit the hop for plenty more pictures.

Nike SB Stefan Janoski “Vacahyde”

Posted: 31 Oct 2009 11:58 AM PDT

Nike SB Stefan Janoski "Vacahyde"

We almost made it a whole week without a Stefan Janoski Twitter sneak peek! Lovers of the Savage Beast will love this one though, which has been dubbed the “Vacahyde” by the man himself. For our non-Spanish speakers, “Vaca” means cow in English.

This may be our least-revealing peek yet, but from the looks of it, the brown leather laces we’ve seen before are back again. The vulcanized sole for these Nike SBs is white again, with a matching tan pinstripe around the top. The hyde material covering the uppers uses a darker shade than the AF1s mentioned above, and is more brown than orange, also.

Hit the comments section and weigh in on these.

Posted: 31 Oct 2009 10:28 AM PDT

Kicks On Court

As we have seen throughout this year, Jordan Brand has a plethora of sneakers as part of their ever-so-popular basketball line. While sneakers such as the 6 Rings, the Jumpman Team Pro and the Pure Pressure dominated last year’s Kicks On Court, new sneakers including the Ol School III, the Element and the Hallowed Ground will be seen consistently this year in Kicks On Court.

With that said, the latter model mentioned was seen on a number of Jordan Brand members last night. Players such as Dwyane Wade, Gerald Wallace, Jared Jeffries and Tyson Chandler all sported the Hallowed Ground in their respective team colorways. The Jordan Hallowed Ground undoubtedly takes on a similar, bulky shape from the Jordan Olympia and the Air Jordan IX. Click here to view the players wearing the Hallowed Ground plus other kicks worn by LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki and others.
