Dunkmans for $28.99, Impossible? Read The Story Below! »

I was in San Francisco this weekend visiting my girlfriend and on Sunday we decided to go to the annual Filmore Jazz Festival. This is an ecclectic collection of people, music, shopping and fair-type food. We walked up Fillmore and I looked into the window of the Goodwill thrift store located on Fillmore and Post only to be amazed. In front of me I saw a pair of grey, white and screaming green basketball shoes. Any Nike fanatic would know the shoe as soon as they see it, my personal favorite Lebron signature shoe, the Air Zoom Lebron 2. I ran into the store and grabbed the shoes, they were in GREAT shape. I looked the shoe over and there were no creases or stains, the previous owner even left the second set of white laces (UNUSED!) stuffed inside the shoes. I quickly looked at the size tag. SIZE 12! I started hyperventillating and ignored the other shoes there (Denim Dunk Hi, Huaraches, Barkleys, someone had to have offloaded their collection) and ran to the counter. I got to the cashier, who happened to be the store manager, and quickly paid. He said, “DAMN, they didn’t listen!” I looked at him in horror, wondering if he would change the price or say they were not for sale, “they put these too high! What do you feel about paying $28.99 for these?” I looked at him blankly and nodded. I walked out of the store knowing that I just lived the shoe nerd fantasy. I found a NDS pair of GRAILS at a thrift store. Here are some pics including the original Goodwill price tag.

This awesome story was posted by SUPRATURBO on Niketalk. He ended up with a two-handed (more rare than the “usual” one-handed grey version) Dunkman Zoom LeBron II. Best LeBron pickup story? Use the comment box below to express you thoughts.

LeBron James’ Zoom LeBron VI Will Be Released in 2008! »

Browsing through the forums I saw some interesting theories about LeBron’s next – sixth – signature sneaker. Some believe that the Zoom LeBron VI won’t be released and will be replaced with another shoe called Zoom Power. All this got fans worried so I just wanna let you know the Nike Zoom LeBron VI will premiere this year with the start of the upcoming basketball season, as always! That was easy. However, it’s hard to say anything more. I don’t have any hard data about the Zoom Power and it’s also hard to tell if the samples we’ve seen so far present the VI or the ZP. The rumors about a re-design of the VI are true so we might see the real version really soon. Keep checking back as the story unfolds…

Unreleased Nike Zoom LeBron III Low Black-Gold Sample »

The Nike Zoom LeBron III was released in four colorways and one of them was a Black/Ice Blue combo. Of course there were many PEs and samples, and one of those has recently popped out on ebay. It’s a Black/Gold colorway, which was unseen till now. Too bad it never got released cause the low-top III’s were lacking a sleek colorway like this. More photos below.
