One of the more anticipated Nike LeBron releases as of late – LeBron X EXT Denim QS – has already started arriving at retailers. This latest design from Nike Sportswear features a rich indigo denim upper with some nice tonal stitch-work throughout. Vibrant Fireberry runs the base of the pair’s midsole and is situated atop a translucent matching outsole and Dynamic Flywire eyelets. Hazelnut leather completes the look and is layered over the tongue and waxed laces. The Denim X’s will drop this Saturday for $180. It is considered to be a limited edition release, but definitely more pairs than the previous LEBRON X EXT Cork QS. House of Hoops stores will implement a sweepstakes ticket procedure starting today. The 597806-400 Midnight Navy/Midnight Navy-Hazelnut-Fireberry style will be also released online at nikestore.com (both U.S. and Europe confirmed the drop) as well as several other NSW retailers like wishatl.com. Continue reading for a detailed look below.

Roller coaster of a game, roller coaster of a season. LeBron James outscored the San Antonio Spurs in the first six minutes of the fourth quarter all by himself, but the LeBron freight train went off the rails in the final minute. Back-to-back turnovers by LeBron nearly ended the Miami Heat’s season, but his late 3-pointer and Allen Hail Mary from deep forced overtime. LBJ had his trademark headband knocked off early in the fourth quarter. Rather than locate it and put it back on, the 2013 MVP continued playing without it, which in the end sparked an epic Game 6 comeback. James recorded his fourth NBA Finals triple-double (32 / 10 / 11) and became the fourth player in NBA history with 30 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in an NBA Finals game joining Charles Barkley (1993), James Worthy (1988), Jerry West (1969). He’s just the second to do it in a win, joining James Worthy. Game 7 is next.

On the court, LeBron James wears only his own signatures shoes. Off the court, he keeps the possibilities wide open, but he usually he stays with The Swoosh (this includes the Jordan Brand). Following their Game 7 win against the Indiana Pacers, King James broke out the Black and Solar Red colorway of the Nike Air Yeezy II. Following their recent Game 5 loss to the San Antonio Spurs he also broke out the Yeezes, but this time in the Pure Platinum colorway. Interestingly enough he did the same thing last year, but at different stages of the Post Season. The Nike Air Yeezy is an official sneaker collaboration project between Nike and Kanye West.

Nike has kind of missed out on LeBron James’ first trip to the NBA Finals back in 2007. Laser etched Player Exclusive styles on the Nike Zoom Soldier didn’t seem like a planned design at all. Nowadays they seem ready all the time. Back in 2009 they even released the Almost NBA Finals edition of the Zoom Soldier III. Now it looks like Nike Basketball is expecting King James to win it all once again. This led them to create a new commemorative version of the Nike LeBron X Low. The Green and Gold colorway with bold “2-Time Champion” placed on the insole features an Arnold Palmer-esque look with Palm Tree graphics. Hopefully they didn’t jinx it!

It took one great game and one subpar performance from LeBron James to register a decent look at his latest Nike LeBron X P.S. Away PE. In Games 4 and 5, James wore a new Away edition of the LEBRON X PS Elite… very similar to the last year’s General Release, which also came in a Black and Gold colorway. LeBron’s new Player Exclusive is a clean yet powerful combination carrying that initial Elite look unveiled in the Summer of 2012. I really wouldn’t mind if Nike decided to release a nice toned back style like this one.

An intriguing move by Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to put the previously struggling Manu Ginobili into the Game 5 starting lineup paid off wildly for the San Antonio Spurs, as he scored 24 points and had 10 assists to lead them to a 114-104 victory over the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals on Sunday night. It was one of those games in which you look at LeBron James’ big numbers and shake your head in disbelief. Didn’t seem like a strong game from him, but the box score said otherwise. The Heat failed to win consecutive games yet again, despite 25 points from both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. They are headed home to Miami with their backs to the wall. That’s exactly where they like to be.

Finally some good news when it comes to the pricing of LeBron James’ signature shoes. The upcoming Nike LeBron X EXT Denim QS will retail for $180, which is the standard price for all LeBron 10 styles. We made ourselves believe that all Nike Sportswear styles cost $250, but seems like the higher price was due to that unique Cork upper. It all makes sense now. Denim material is nothing new for Nike. Hopefully the same logic applies to the third NSW colorway, which comes with a Suede upper. Two years ago, Nike played around with that Denim upper / Gum sole option for the Nike LeBron 8, however, it has never been released to public. We will get a chance to get the LeBron X NSW in Denim and Pink next week and hopefully there will be plenty to go around. They will be limited… but not on the same level as the Corks. Continue reading for a side by side comparison of the Denim 8′s and X’s. Which one would you rather own?

The Nike LeBron X Lifestyle NRG will finally release stateside in a two-pack this weekend! The LeBron Lifestyle is stripped away of its performance-oriented materials in favor of more casual, luxurious ones. What may stand out the most to sneakerheads is the introduction of the vulcanized sole in the LeBron signature line. Next, genuine leather makes up the tongue, inner lining, and upper where laser cut vents are included to reflect the mesh panels on the original X. An embossed “Lion 6 logo” is stitched on to the tongue. Finally, the LeBron X Lifestyle also features a translucent outsole rarely seen on a vulcanized shoe. The Nike LeBron X NSW Lifestyle NRG Pack drops this today at major Nike Sportswear retailers including House of Hoops locations for $130 apiece.
