Nike Lebron 11 'Everglades' Release

A black Hyperfuse upper with a floral finish on the Hyperposite shell make up this pair of Nike Lebron 11's inspired by the wetlands of the Everglades in Miami. This colorful pair should not have a long shelf life if one at all. Look for these to launch at select Nike accounts on May 17th for $200.


Sterling Banned

This has been a pretty controversial issue this past week in the NBA and yesterday, the commissioner of the NBA, Mr. Adam Silver made the decision to ban Donald Sterling from the NBA for life and fine him $2.5 million. This decision was well received by fans and players alike, which of course fueled artwork by a lot of artists in the social sphere. Enjoy.

There is currently no launch information on these, but keep with us.

You heard right. 

This popular and iconic colorway is making its way back to the Nike Lebron Franchise as they drop the Nike LeBron XI 'South Beach' this summer. 

Aqua, Pink and Black make their return to this Nike Lebron XI silhouette, covering most of the shoe's upper in aqua, hitting it with black accents around the shoe, and finishing it off with pink on the tongue lining, eyelets and lace lock. 

Grab the LeBron XI 'South Beach' Saturday, June 21st for $200 at select retailers. 






Jordan Future 'Blackout' & 'Dark Army' Release

As expected, here come the flood of Jordan Future colorways, signed, sealed, delivered. 

First up, we'll start with the 'Blackout' sample. Thanks to Depeche23Mode, we get a sneak peak at what I'm sure will ultimately become part of the line up of releases for this silhouette. All blacked out with a hint of gold on the branding. Keeping it sweet and simple, and according to a catalog graphic leak, they are set to drop in the Fall. Are you grabbing these? 


Next up, the 'Dark Army' colorway which you KNOW will not only sell out but swiftly matched with a pair of camo shorts and/or joggers. Maybe even both. Less is more people. 

Ultimately giving it a digi-camo feel, the woven upper consists of traditional camo colors, sitting atop a white mid-sole and a translucent smoke outsole. 

These will drop  Saturday, May 17 for $185 at Nike retailers.

Air Jordan XX9 Unveiled

The wait is finally over and below, you have the The Air Jordan XX9. "Tailored For Flight" being their bottom line, JB has decided to seemingly change the game and introduce a performance woven upper for sock-like fit. 
Losing the liner which many almost considered a hindrance, the Air Jordan XX9 is engineered to fit like a glove. The woven upper, aesthetically, works in favor of serving as a blank canvas for detailed imagery and a plethora of team or Nike ID colorways. Similar to Flywire technology, the performance woven upper features different levels of support and give for superior fit in lightweight fashion. 
Usually, Air Jordan Signatures launch in February, but the Air Jordan XX9 will launch in the fall in preparation for basketball season. Slated to be worn by Russell Westbrook, the Air Jordan XX9 will release this September in both Black/White-Gym Red and Black/Team Orange-Dark Grey colorways for $225.

The 'Sprite' Nike LeBron XI Low?

The 'Sprite' Nike LeBron 8 V/2 Low was an extremely popular release and still a pretty sought after sneaker. Considering the hype around that release, we know it wouldn't take much or be long before the sprite colorway made it's way to another LeBron drop. 

The lucky sneaker is the Nike LeBron XI Low. 

Source: Shoulee81
Much like the Lebron 8 V/2, the LeBron XI Low will sport a Hyperfuse upper covered in royal blue. Volt accents over the tongue lining and Dynamic Flywire eyelets, matching the forefoot Swoosh logos and 360 Max Air tooling below.

How are you liking these? Would this colorway look better on the 9? or the 10?

Let us know what you think!

Lance Mountain x Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 Unveiled

If you were a kid in the 80's, or were and are a fan of the culture that dominated in this era, it didn't matter if you were a skater, a hip hop head, or a rocker at CBGB's, the 80's was all about individuality. Throughout the years, individuality has evolved with the times going into the 90's, and even today, its all about wearing what you want and how you like it. 
Lance Mountain shares that exact 80's skater experience and conceptualizes it in the Air Jordan 1. 
Black/Royal and Black/Red singles are paired together in mismatching fashion & coated with either a thick layer of white paint or a thick layer of black paint to match & mask the colorways. Skate in them & wear them out, and you'll see the true colorways reveal themselves.
Grab these on June 7th at select Nike SB accounts and online at Nike Store.

Eastbay Jumps on the Restock Train

Eastbay has dropped a huge restock bomb on the sneaker community. Confirming through their Twitter and adding it to their release calendar, they have sent us all in a frenzy. 

With that said, don't get too excited. After announcing the restock, they updated their twitter with some details, saying most sizes being restocked are of a bigger nature (mainly 15 & up). There are rumors of possible full size runs on some models, but I'd keep my hopes on the conservative side. 

Check out what's restocking after the break.
