Close-up of LeBron James’ First Zoom Soldier II USA Edition »

As the 2008 Olympic Games are getting closer expect to see some new LeBron Special Make Ups for the USA Basketball Team. King James started things off by wearing personalized edition of the White/Navy colorway at the Training Camp in Las Vegas last Saturday. The details were very difficult to spot on the pics from the practice, but we’ve managed to find you a better angle. It’s the first out of many USA PEs to come. This one features new USA logo on the tongue plus #6 (LBJ’s USA jersey number) on the inner side. There are also at least two more versions – USA Home PE with Tribal pattern just like the new USA jerseys, and the Away PE featuring Chinese characters inspired by Beijing Olympic Games.

Quickstrike Release of the Remix Nike Zoom Soldier II »

Nike is keeping us on our toes. We’ve kept following Nike’s General Releases plus all the House of Hoops and Asia exclusives, but they used a back door entrance and released another Zoom Soldier II colorway without anybody noticing. According to our sources a new ZSII version – 318694-113 White/White-Black-Varsity Crimson – is available in selected stores across the US. So far only Finishline has been confirmed as the store that carries the shoes so it’s possible it’s an exclusive. This version looks similar to the Zoom LeBron III Black Remix PE as it’s also a White/Black/Red/Gold combo. The Remix ZSII features Black Patent Leather all over the shoes with Red details and Gold outline. Also, they have an additional lace hole just like all of LeBron’s PEs and after you look closely you will see that it’s the version worn by LeBron James during Game Six against the Boston Celtics. Photos and information courtesy of wmg3341. UPDATE: Added LBJ’s PE Game photo.

USA Basketball Team is Preparing for the Beijing 2008 Olympics »

On Saturday LeBron James and the Beijing-bound U.S. Team practiced for the first time in Las Vegas since the squad was announced earlier this month. Everybody knows that Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are on the U.S. Men’s Senior National Team about to compete in the Beijing Olympics for the highest prize, no excuses this time. Four players who previously participated with the current iteration of U.S.A. Basketball, but missed last summer’s FIBA Americas Tournament, are back in action. Dwyane Wade (shoulder), Chris Paul (ankle), Chris Bosh (foot) and Carlos Boozer (wife’s pregnancy) had differing reasons why they were unable to participate last summer, but shared the same sentiment of appreciation to be involved in Beijing. The USA Basketball Men’s Senior National Team will be profiled in a five-part documentary series, “Road To Redemption presented by NIKE”. The series, produced by NBA Entertainment, will debut with a special one-hour episode that will air Wednesday, July 2 at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN2. The other episodes will be aired on 7/21 (#2), 7/31 (#3), 8/5 (#4, #5). Browse through the pics below as you can see a lot of cool shoes worn by the players. LeBron’s rocking personalized White and Navy Soldier II with several players wearing either their own sigs or this year’s team shoes – Nike Hyperdunk.

Zoom LeBron II Re-release Rumors. True or False? »

header zlii pe releases Zoom LeBron II Re release Rumors. True or False?

This is just in. According to several NikeTalk members – SlimSolejer and PO2345 – Nike is planning on releasing several Zoom LeBron II Player Exclusive colorways. If you think that a typo than let me say this again… yes we are talking about the Zoom LeBron 2 – LeBron’s second signature sneaker. It’s hard to call it a retro release when you deal with PEs and if anything they are going to be extremely limited (yeah, like what else is new). The colorways that are expected to drop include – SVSM Away, SVSM Home, Dunkman, HWC and one more White/Red based version (36 pairs of each). The distribution method is unknown, but most likely Nike’s PE outlet – the House of Hoops – will be involved. There’s also a possibility for a Cleveland release. This is just a rumor now, but it’s been confirmed by several individuals. Nike’s known to make decisions at the last moment and I’m sure some of the fans remember the Fruity Pebbles, HWC IV and Retro AZG Camo, that were just as breaking news as this one, but in fact none of them got released. All that was before the House of Hoops got opened and new possibilities came into play. We will follow this matter and let you know if there are any updates. What do you think about this idea? Get at us in the comment box below.
