Nike Ambassador IV – Grey/Black/Maize – Jason Petrie Sample »

During the 2011 LeBron James Basketball Tour 4 colorways of the Nike Air Max Ambassador IV were unveiled to public. All of them will release this Fall, but only in Asia/Pacific region. Fortunately, with the amount of decent online stores located there, I don’t think there will be any problems ordering a pair. Jason Petrie also presented a sample version of the Black/Grey/Varsity Maize colorway… on his feet. Which one is better… sample or GR? Both shoes are pictured below.

The 2011 LeBron James Greater China Tour wrapped up with Opening of Nike Festival of Sport »

The 2011 LeBron James Greater China Tour ended its successful journey with a coaching clinic and the much-anticipated opening day of the first annual Nike Festival of Sport in Shanghai. The Game Changers basketball coaching clinic, held this morning at Shanghai Sports University, is an ongoing program aimed at teaching college students the importance coaching has in children’s lives. LeBron James practiced alongside the future coaches before delivering a speech on how adult coaches are able to positively influence the development of young minds through athletics. After snapping photos with the 100 participants, James went to a Nike Store located near People’s Square to talk about the Nike Festival of Sport with national Chinese media and to greet fans. Asked to give a review of the tour overall, James responded emphatically. “It’s been unbelievable to see the reception I’ve gotten, and to see all of these people who love the game of basketball and who are inspired by the game of basketball,” said James.

The 2011 LeBron James Basketball Visits Xian and Shanghai »

As a part of the 2011 LeBron James Basetball Tour, Nike and LeBron James spend two days coaching and playing with young athletes in the ancient Chinese capital of Xi’an. Day five of the tour touched down in Xi’an, Shaanxi province. Located in the central part of the country, Xi’an is one of the oldest cities in all of China, boasting more than 3,100 years of history. Day six of the tour took James to Chang’an University for a skills clinic with top talent from both the Xi’an Summer Nights King of the Court and Ballers Network tournaments. As with the clinics in Taipei and Chengdu, the skills clinic participants were eager to practice with one of the best players in the world. Throughout this tour, James has been asked on many occasions whether he would consider playing overseas next season in the event of an extended lockout. His answer has remained consistent. “I’m preparing everyday for an NBA season. I’m very optimistic about both sides coming together to make sure we have a season. So I’ve been very focused on training to get ready for that.”

The 2011 LeBron James Basketball Tour Kicks Off in Taipei »

The 2011 LeBron James Basketball Tour kicked off its four-city journey this afternoon in Taipei, Taiwan, at the Taipei World Trade Center. Today’s focus was on two training sessions for two very special groups of basketball players, the children of the Eden Social Welfare Foundation and the Chinese Taipei U-19 national team. After warming up for ten minutes with two leading U.S. coaches, the group was joined by James, who came out to a loud ovation from the crowd and high fives from the kids. Shortly after, James joined the kids in various dribbling and shooting drills, where he could be heard encouraging the campers and even busting out a line or two of Mandarin, with hao qiu, meaning “nice play,” as his go-to. Aimed at both promoting grassroots basketball and serving the needs of local communities in Greater China, the tour will span eight days over four cities, Taipei, Chengdu, Xian and Shanghai. He debuted the upcoming shoe from his new collection… the Nike Zoom LBJ Ambassador IV.
