Lebron VI Three Cities



Rumor has it, Lebron will wear these when his Cavaliers take on Kobe and the LA Lakers in a couple weeks on January 19th, 2009 at the Staples Center. When we first saw this LA edition pair we were being told that there would be a Lebron “Dunkman” logo near the heel but now these new pictures are showing that there actually is no logo, everything else remains the same, including our favorite part of the sneaker which is the graffitti on the midsole. Expect these to be released only in Los Angeles and possibly Cleveland.

This shoe is a fusion of all the signature Nike sneakers that Penny Hardaway wore throughout his career, taking inspiration from the Foamposite 1’s and the Air Max Penny II’s through Air Max Penny IV’s. This shoe will commemorate Penny’s All-Star career and celebrate his time with Nike. The very official royal and black colorway is scheduled for a March 2009 release date and a black colorway is also in the works.

DJ Clark Kent All Star AF1



For most of the past NBA All Star Games, Nike has commemorated the occasion with a special edition Air Force 1 that’s usually sold in the hosting city. This year, instead of Nike’s designer coloring up the design, DJ Clark Kent has stepped into the ASG Air Force 1 designer role. The colors are of course inspired by they host city’s own, the Phoenix Suns. On the upper, DJCK chose a lux tan nubuck for the front half with micro-perforations on on the toebox and side panels. The rest of the upper features a yellow perforated leather on the swoosh, tongue label and heel tab while the heel is a patent purple. The inner lining and to the midsole features orange while the outsole is a nice clean gum. The year “09″ is stitched on to the outer front side and the lace locks call out “East” on the right shoe and “West” on the left shoe. To finish out this nice package, DJ Clark Kent invited lace masters Starks to design a fitting set of laces for the 2009 All Star Game Air Force 1.
