Nike Zoom Lebron VII “Phantom”

Nike Zoom Lebron VII Phantom
About a month ago some preview shots of what the Nike Zoom Lebron VII “Phantom” would look like where released. Well as the release date nears it seems that they have decided to change up the sneaker a bit. Changes include some added gold accents as well as the added L23 symbol located above the heel. For these Lebrons they decided to take a simpler yet classic all black route and it definitely worked out for them.
These Nike Zoom Leborn VII’s are set to be dropping on December 17th and you can check out the detailed shots of the sneaker below, also let us know if we missed any of the changes that have been made to the sneaker. Although, seeing as these are quite simple,  if you’re looking for a pair of Lebrons with a little more color you can check out the Air Max Lebron NFW “Red Carpet”.

Nike Basketball Air Max LeBron VII NFW Red Carpet Quickstrike
Through the past couple of months we’ve seen a lot of the Flywire technology, along with the NFW Technology, which if you didn’t know is no Flwire. Although titled a NFW, the LeBron VII uses a bit of Flywire technology, making the sneaker lighter, mostly due to the woven upper, which we think gives the sneaker a better look. We do love the Flywire technology but we have to give props to the colorway, which includes a black upper, along with white and what looks to be turquoise accent. Overall a nice sneaker, availalble now at Kix-Files. More pictures available after the jump.

Nike Auto Flight Hi | House of Hoops Exclusive

Nike Auto Flight Hi 124 House of Hoops Exclusive
Available to sneaker heads exclusively through the House Of Hoops are the Nike Auto Flight Hi. The sneaker gives us a look at two colors which most of us praise, black and red. Meshing very well, the upper consist of black patent and nubuck, while accented with red. A touch of safari prints and a leather swoosh, finishes off the sneaker, but is it a product we’re looking to purchase, that’s your decision. We like them and have no complaints, but what do you guys think?

Nike Air Force 1 Black/White/Purple

Nike Air Force 1 BlackWhitePurple
It’s been some time now since Nike has done a general release of the Nike Air Force 1, and here is yet another pair to prove that in the new Air Force 1 LE Black/White/Purple. These kicks will be available exclusively at select retailers like Mita. At first glance, these remind me of a mix of the Nike Big Nike High Eggplant and the Nike Blazer High Obsidian, which were both inspired by the beloved Foamposites, but that might be just me.
This edition of the Air Force’s come in a mix of leather and suede upper. The black suede is used in the side tabs as well as in the toe box, with the tongue, the toe guard, the lace holders, and the ankle area  all being done in a black Foamposite like leather. The white parts are done in the Nike Swoosh, the inner lining and in the mid sole that sits on top of a black sole. Finally, the purple accents come in the laces, the tongue tag, and in the heel tab. It would be nice to see these in a general release, but since they aren’t, we’ll just have to wait and hope Nike will release some nice pairs next year.

A second  nubuck pair is seen, done in an all white upper, with minor white accents in the Jumpman logo and the mid sole.

Nike Trainer 1 “L.A.” at Nike Store

Nike Trainer 1 LA at Nike Store

The Los Angeles Dodgers may have come up short on their goal this past season, but they did enough to earn a tribute from Nike in these Trainer 1s. We first took a look at these not too far back, announcing they were available in select stores.
But for fans who are displaced from L.A. or just can’t find them in stores near you, NikeStore.com now has these in a full-size run. If you recall, white leather is used on the toe cap and heel, accented with royal blue contrast stitching. Blue suede really makes these what they are, as it’s used on the mid-panel and toe box. Retired uniform numbers are presented on the insoles also, and “L.A” appears on the heel in graffiti script.

Kicks On Court Keith Bogans Laces Up Nike 12 Cent

Nike Basketball has been represented throughout our Kicks On Court in the form of the ever-so-popular Hyperize and Hypermax. We have also spotted some classic retros; however, last night, San Antonio Spurs guard Keith Bogans sported a Nike hybrid in which many of you undoubtedly love.
In a losing effort against the Dallas Mavericks, Keith Bogans laced up the silver colorway of the Nike 1/2 Cent. This comes as perfect timing seeing that the silver 1/2 Cents just released at select retailers on November 10th, 2009. It is safe to say this is the only thing flashy about a Spurs basketball game in a very long time. Is this the best sneaker seen in our Kicks On Court so far? Click here to view the silver 1/2 Cent plus more kicks worn by LeBron James, Joe Johnson, Dwyane Wade and others.
