MVPs: Zydrunas Ilgauskas Joins the Puppet Gang – “Handshake” »

The MVPuppets are everywhere these days. Check out Puppet LeBron and Puppet Kobe visiting the Rice vs Christ the King basketball game this past weekend. Each High School is sponsored by Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, respectively, so there was some trash talk. Also, there’s a new episode in the MVPuppets series titled “Handshake”. Apparently, the Cavaliers need to go to the training camp three weeks early just to learn their secret handshake. Most importantly, Big Z makes an appearance and joins the MVP gang. Continue reading for the video.

Nike LeBron VII Post Season Drops at Footlocker on March 27th »

Last week a bunch of photos presenting the upcoming Nike LeBron VII P.S. (Post Season) leaked to the Internet. Unlike a lot of playoff make-ups, this isn’t simply a new colorway as it appears to be a completely new silhouette created for LeBron James for this year’s Playoffs. Branching from the Air Max LeBron VII… Nike is set to release the LeBron VII P.S., which is based on Zoom Air cushioning system. Footlocker has just posted their official release date for these joints. They will drop on 03/27/2010. One thing still needs to be cleared though. Will it be a Black/White/Red colorway with a Blue translucent outsole like pictured here. Or are we gonna get the icy outsole like showcased below? My guess… blue, cause FLU has been known to post sample pics. Which one do you prefer?

Full Version: LeBron & Dwight’s New McDonalds Commercial »

LeBron James and Dwight Howard filmed a new McDonald’s ad playing off the classic 1993 shooting showdown between Larry Bird and Michael Jordan. McDonald’s released a preview of the commercial last week, and the entire ad aired just before the Super Bowl kicked off tonight. Interestingly, the new version is a dunk contest instead of a shooting match. As a fun surprise, one of the original participants makes an appearance at the end. I gotta say the new version is hot. The chemistry between LeBron and Dwight is definitely there.

Releasing Now: Nike Air Max LeBron VII All-Star Game Edition »

The Allstar LeBrons hit Eastbay last night. We tweeted about that yesterday. Now they’re up on NDC. At this moment, there’s still a Full Size Run available. Bad news is nikestore charges $20 more than other retailers. The Air Max LeBron VII All-Star Limited Edition is also available at House of Hoops stores. Apparently, they come with an additional pair of light blue laces (picture below). Nice touch. Click here for a complete gallery of the All-star VII. Hopefully we will post our own pics soon. Btw read an amazing piece on the inspiration behind Nike’s 2010 All-Star kicks. Anybody copping?

Nike LeBron 7 P.S. w/Zoom Air – Actual Photos – White/Navy »

I’ve read it somewhere that the LeBron 7 P.S. looks like a take down shoe. In my humble opinion there’s nothing to it. The price is slightly lower – $140 instead of $160 – but that’s still a lot of money. Also, seems like we’re getting front plus back Zoom Air units (possibly even full-length), and carbon fiber plate in the midsole. The rest is borrowed from the Air Max version including a Patent Leather upper and Flywire panel. Personally, I am a Die Hard Zoom Air fan, however, after playing in the VII I was very pleased with the performance. I am looking forward for the Post Season version, cause so far it looks and sounds like a basketball BEAST! Continue reading for several new photos presenting the White and Navy colorway. I wonder if they keep the Air Max LeBron VII P.S. name or if we get to see a Zoom LeBron VII?! That would be nice.

Nike LeBron 7 P.S. w/Zoom Air – Actual Photos – Black/White/Red »

New photos just keep on coming. Just yesterday with got a change to see the Nike LeBron VII P.S. in close up, but now we get a much better look. Folks from kixfreaks.com just sent us some additional photos presenting the Black/White/Red colorway of LeBron James’ 2010 NBA Playoffs shoe. The similarity with the Air Max LeBron VII is quite obvious, but there are some nice cues. New details are amazing. Check out the new 7 P.S. logo on the laces and on the heel tab.

Nike Air Max LeBron VII Post Season (P.S.) Catalog Images »

The shoe is called Nike Air Max LeBron VII P.S., but it’s hard to imagine any Air Max units based on the few pictures that have surfaced the Internet. Check out couple new images showing the most interesting part considering the original AMLVII project… the sole. As many of you have already guessed… the Post Season VII will be equipped with Zoom Air cushioning. Those, who have strayed away from the new 360 Max Air system will be happy to know Zoom Air is back. At least for this year’s post season shoe. Continue reading for more shots.

Cool Grey / White Nike Air Max LeBron VII Coming in March »

If you’re up to date with the LeBrons release list you probably know that March is heavily occupied with numerous versions of the Air Max LeBron VII coming out. Apart from the anticipated Dunkman colorway, several Grey based LBJ 7’s are scheduled to be released in March. Also, limited editions – Akron and CTK – might join the pack. If you want to get some Grey basketball shoes, but you’re not a fan of glossy Patent Leather uppers – as in Eastbay VII’s – you might be interested in this version – see below – Cool Grey and White. There’s no Patent Leather, no secondary colors, just a clean design. What sets them apart from other styles are LeBron’s credos imprinted on the heel and on the tongue. Continue reading for more photos. Btw… these are not a part of the Team pack, which drops exclusively at Eastbay.
